Logistics:-Reading is required.-Discussion is required.-Please have nameplates.-Everyone must scribe. Due to the size of the class, multiple people will scribe per lec-ture/discussion session. This paper provides a high-level overview of the Imagine processor using stereo depth extraction as a motivating software example. This paper discusses the fundamentals of the Imagine Stream Architecture ...

Recent studies have shown that intermittent faults have gained increased prominence on being responsible for computer system failures. This category of faults is harder to diagnose in comparison with permanent faults. Full hardware diagnosis techniques incur significant power and area overheads. Software layer diagnosis techniques have zero area overhead but limited visibility into many micro-a...

1 Preface and Acknowledgements This article is an abridged and revised version of a 1996 McGill University technical report [14]. The technical report was based on lectures delivered by the author at a workshop in Holetown, Barbados and on the authors prepared overhead transparencies. The audience at this workshop wrote scribe notes which then formed the technical report [14]. The material sele...

Group-Communication (GC) applications are a promising class for real-world MANETs. To understand their practical viability, we have implemented a fullstack prototype in a real MANET testbed, running an extensive set of experiments on it. In this paper we analyse the performance of a P2P shared-tree multicast protocol to support GC applications. Specifically, we have used Scribe, a popular and e...

Acknowledgements These lecture notes began as rough scribe notes for a Fall 2009 offering of the course " Data Stream Algorithms " at Dartmouth College. The initial scribe notes were prepared mostly by students enrolled in the course in 2009. Subsequently, during a Fall 2011 offering of the course, I edited the notes heavily, bringing them into presentable form, with the aim being to create a r...
