PP-MEss-SIM: a simulator for evaluating multicomputer interconnection networks

This paper presents pp-mess-sim, an object-oriented discrete-event simulation environment for evaluating multicomputer networks. The simulator provides a toolbox of various network topologies, communication workloads, routing-switching algorithms, and router models. These router models can vary from high-level architectures to low-level speciication of actual devices. By decoupling individual p...

A meaningful MESS (Medical Education Scholarship Support)

Background Graduate medical education faculty bear the responsibility of demonstrating active research and scholarship; however, faculty who choose education-focused careers may face unique obstacles related to the lack of promotion tracks, funding, career options, and research opportunities. Our objective was to address education research and scholarship barriers by providing a collaborative p...

Uncover Low Degree Vertices and Minimise the Mess: Independent Sets in Random Regular Graphs

We present algorithmic lower bounds on the size of the largest independent sets of vertices in a random d-regular graph. Our bounds hold with probability approaching one as the size of the graph tends to infinity.

Sarel Van Vuuren and Hynek Hermansky, "!mess: a Modular, Efficient Speaker Veriff Ication System,"" !mess: a Modular, Efficient Speaker Verification System

We describe a text-independent speaker veriication system !MESS that was designed to be highly modular and eecient. The system incorporates an extension of the Tcl script language that facilitates rapid prototyp-ing and high overall execution speed. We provide an overview of the system and its implementation, detailing its applicability as a exible research environment. Using the system we inve...
