Using Comparison of Parallel Phoneme Probability streams for OOV Word Detection

Mathew Magimai Doss, Hynek Hermansky, Tamara Tosic

In this paper, we investigate the approach of comparing two different parallel streams of phoneme posterior probability estimates for OOV word detection. The ﬁrst phoneme posterior probability stream is estimated using only the knowledge of short-term acou ...

Division of Labour in Self-Organised Groups

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Roderich Gross

In social insect colonies, many tasks are performed by higher-order entities, such as groups and teams whose task solving capacities transcend those of the individual participants. In this paper, we investigate the emergence of such higher-order entities u ...

A simulator for adaptive parallel applications

Roger Hersch, Sebastian Gerlach

Dynamically allocating computing nodes to parallel applications is a promising technique for improving the utilization of cluster resources. Detailed simulations can help identify allocation strategies and problem decomposition parameters that increase the ...

Actors that Unify Threads and Events

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller

There is an impedance mismatch between message-passing concurrency and virtual machines, such as the JVM. VMs usually map their threads to heavyweight OS processes. Without a lightweight process abstraction, users are often forced to write parts of concurr ...

Transactional Memory

James Richard Larus

The advent of multicore processors has renewed interest in the idea of incorporating transactions into the programming model used to write parallel programs. This approach, known as transactional memory, offers an alternative, and hopefully better, way to ...

A simulator for parallel applications with dynamically varying compute node allocation

Roger Hersch, Sebastian Gerlach

Dynamically allocating computing nodes to parallel applications is a promising technique for improving the utilization of cluster resources. We introduce the concept of dynamic efficiency which expresses the resource utilization efficiency as a function of ...

Language Support for Fast and Reliable Message Based Communication in Singularity OS

James Richard Larus

Message-based communication offers potential benefits of providing stronger specification and cleaner separation between components. Compared with shared-memory interactions, message passing has the potential disadvantages of being more expensive (no direc ...

Event-Based Programming without Inversion of Control

Martin Odersky, Philipp Haller

The actor computation model is especially suited for concurrent and distributed computations. Actors are basically concurrent processes which communicate through asynchronous message passing. When combined with pattern matching for messages, actor-based pr ...

FRODO: A FRamework for Open/Distributed constraint Optimization

Adrian Petcu

We present a framework for distributed combinatorial optimization. The framework is implemented in Java, and simulates a multiagent environment in a single Java virtual machine. Each agent in the environment is executed asynchronously in a separate executi ...

Fault-tolerant parallel applications with dynamic parallel schedules

Roger Hersch, Sebastian Gerlach

Commodity computer clusters are often composed of hundreds of computing nodes. These generally off-the-shelf systems are not designed for high reliability. Node failures therefore drive the MTBF of such clusters to unacceptable levels. The software framewo ...
