  • Design and Evaluation of the Hamal Parallel Computer 

    Unknown author (2002-12-05)
    Parallel shared-memory machines with hundreds or thousands of processor-memory nodes have been built; in the future we will see machines with millions or even billions of nodes. Associated with such large systems is a new ...

  • A Distributed Building Evacuation System 

    Unknown author (2008-07-14)
    This thesis investigates the feasibility of a smart building evacuation system, capable of guiding occupants along safe paths to exits and responding to changing threats. Inspired by developments in amorphous computing, ...

  • Metachronal waves in the flagellar beating of Volvox and their hydrodynamic origin 

    Brumley, Douglas R; Polin, Marco; Pedley, Timothy J; Goldstein, Raymond Ethan (Royal Society PublishingJournal of the Royal Society Interface, 2015-06-03)
    Groups of eukaryotic cilia and flagella are capable of coordinating their beating over large scales, routinely exhibiting collective dynamics in the form of metachronal waves. The origin of this behaviour—possibly influenced ...

  • A Method for Skew-free Distribution of Digital Signals Using Matched Variable Delay Lines 

    Unknown author (1992-03-01)
    The ability to distribute signals everywhere in a circuit with controlled and known delays is essential in large, high-speed digital systems. We present a technique by which a signal driver can adjust the arrival time ...

  • Protection and Synchronization in Actor Systems 

    Unknown author (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-11)
    This paper presents a unified method [called ENCASING] for dealing with the closely related issues of synchronization and protection in actor systems [Hewitt et al. 1973a, 1973b, 1974a; Greif and Hewitt 1975]. Actors are ...
