Dynamic remapping is critical to the performance of bulk synchronous computations that have non-deterministic behaviors because of the need of barrier synchronization between phases. This paper presents a formal analysis of the issue of when to remap for dynamic computations with a priori known statistical behaviors, with an objective of finding optimal remapping frequencies for a given toleran...

A cell by cell anisotropic adaptive mesh technique is combined with a staggered mesh Lagrange plus remap finite element ALE code for the solution of the Euler equations. The quadrilateral finite elements may be subdivided isotropically or anisotropically in a cell by cell manner. An efficient computational method is proposed, which only solves on the finest level of resolution that exists for e...

We present an application for accessing and creating socially constructed sets of information. Users store and retrieve information, such as bits of text, through the use of “keys” consisting of node names strung together using periods (e.g., “conferences.icwsm.dates”) that point to user-added content (“May 23-26, 2010”). Furthermore, nodes can point to services on the web (e.g., “facebook.me.s...

We present a face recognition system able to identify people from a single non-frontal image in an arbitrary pose. The key component of the system is a novel pose correction technique based on Active Appearance Models (AAMs), which is used to remap probe images into a frontal pose similar to that of gallery images. The method generalises previous pose correction algorithms based on AAMs to mult...

Scalable storage architectures allow for the addition of disks to increase storage capacity and/or bandwidth. In its general form, disk scaling also refers to disk removals when either capacity needs to be conserved or old disk drives are retired. Assuming random placement of blocks on multiple nodes of a continuous media server, our optimization objective is to redistribute a minimum number of...

The human visual system computes features of moving objects with high precision despite the fact that these features can change or blend into each other in the retinotopic image. Very little is known about how the human brain accomplishes this complex feat. Using a Ternus-Pikler display, introduced by Gestalt psychologists about a century ago, we show that human observers can perceive features ...

Self-localization during navigation with noisy sensors in an ambiguous world is computationally challenging, yet animals and humans excel at it. In robotics, Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms solve this problem though joint sequential probabilistic inference of their own coordinates and those of external spatial landmarks. We generate the first neural solution to the SLAM prob...

Eritoran (E5564) is Eisai's in-house discovered and developed investigational TLR4 (Toll-Like Receptor 4) antagonist created with natural product organic synthesis technology. It a structural analogue of Lipid A, which an activator endotoxins bacteria. has been previously observed to be safe in 14 clinical studies including large Phase 3 randomized trial severe sepsis. We are participating the ...
