background and purpose: in education of medical science courses, there has been a growing orientation towards replacing traditional teaching in with e-learning education. since the modern system of education is based on self-directed learning, e-learning requires special powers to deal with new-emerging challenges and professionally encounter the learning environment. the purpose of the present...

A neural net capable of restoring continuous level library vectors from memory is considered. As with Hopfield's neural net content addressable memory, the vectors in the memory library are used to program the neural interconnects. Given a portion of one of the library vectors, the net extrapolates the remainder. Sufficient conditions for convergence are stated. Effects of processor inexactitud...

This paper describes how a runtime support library can be used as compiler runtime support in irregular applications. The CHAOS runtime support library carries out optimizations designed to reduce communication costs by performing software caching, communication coalescing and inspector/executor preprocessing. CHAOS also supplies special purpose routines to support speci c types of irregular re...
