Programming environments for high-performance Grid computing: the Albatross project

The Albatross Project: Parallel Application Support for Computational Grids

The aim of the Albatross project is to study applications and programming environments for computational grids consisting of multiple clusters that are connected by wide-area networks. Parallel processing on such systems is useful but challenging, given the large differences in latency and bandwidth between LANs and WANs. We provide efficient algorithms and programming environments that exploit...

Pangloss: A Machine Translation Project

The project involves three sites (NMSU, USC, CMU) and is devoted to enhancing the state of the art in machine translation of natm'al language texts. Pangloss uses a hybrid, multi-engine approach, though knowledge-based machine translation takes a majority of resources. Types of work in the knowledge-based direction include: • continuing development of a set of knowledge acquisition tools and ut...

On Translation Corpora and Translation Support Tools: A Project Report

For more than forty years machine translation has been an active area of research and development. Several variants of MT systems have been proposed e.g., interactive systems, batch-mode systems requiring a large amount of human post-editing and systems that generate text in several languages from a common structured set of data rather than a source text. Although there are some successful syst...
