Performance analysis of machine learning applications on rapid: a highly parallel computer architecture
No full textOver the past few years, the interest and application of machine learning algorithms has risen exponentially. Machine learning has found extensive use in diverse fields like self-driving cars, speech recognition, image processing, computer vision, molecular biology, security etc. A lot of recent research involves evaluation of machine learning applications on different architectures. In this thesis, we evaluate the performance of six common machine learning algorithms: K-Means, K-Nearest Neighbors, Linear Regression, Latent Dirichlet Allocation, Deep Neural Network, and Radix Sort on RAPID. RAPID is a highly parallel computer architecture developed at Oracle Labs for accelerating and improving the performance of database analytic workloads. We find that the RAPID platform performs well on the performance-per-watt metric i.e. it is a power-efficient architecture. Moreover, the machine learning applications can be easily scaled to hundreds of nodes of the RAPID architecture, thereby making it suitable for distributed machine learning applications. However, we find certain bottlenecks in the micro-architecture, memory system and network of the RAPID architecture and propose optimizations to make it a more performance efficient architecture for machine learning applications.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2019-05-01The student, Aakash Modi, accepted the attached license on 2017-04-26 at 12:22.The student, Aakash Modi, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-04-26 at 12:30.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-04-26 at 16:22.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11087 on 2017-08-10 at 14:32:41Made available in DSpace on 2017-08-10T19:52:24Z (GMT).

Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes
A Unified Shell model for Buoyancy-Driven Turbulence
No full textWe construct a unified shell model for stably stratified and convective turbulence. Shell model simulation of stably stratified flow in turbulent regime exhibit Bolgiano-Obukhbov (BO) scaling in which the kinetic energy spectrum varies as . However, simulation of convective turbulence shows Kolmogorov's spectrum. These results are consistent with the direct numerical simulations of Kumar {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 90}, 023016 (2014)]. We also observe a dual scaling ( and ) for a limited range of parameters in stably stratified flow

Retracted Article: Functional Appliances in the Treatment of Class II Malocclusion- A Review
No full textThe article stands retracted due to double submission by the author Dr. Aakash Shah .
It is quite regretful that such authors waste the time and resources of the journal.
View the email sent by Dr. Aakash below.
Functional jaw orthopaedic appliances are a treatment modality for the correction of Class II malocclusions due to mandibular retrusion. A wide range of functional appliances which aim to stimulate mandibular growth by holding the mandible forward is available to correct this type of skeletal and occlusal disharmony. However, the effects of functional appliances are still controversial. Numerous animal experiments and clinical studies have been performed to help ascertain the mechanisms underlying the effects of functional appliances and the optimal timing of treatment. This literature review will be restricted to a discussion of the role of functional appliance therapy in the treatment of class II malocclusions

Multivariate Quantitative Representativeness and Constituency Analysis of Ecological Observation Networks
Author: Jitendra (Jitu) Kumar ([email protected]), Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Regional and global ecological research networks, representing coordinated and standardized as well as adhoc networks of observation sites, provide valuable observations necessary for ecological modeling and synthesis studies. Studies conducted across observational networks strive to scale up their results to larger areas, trying to reach conclusions that are valid throughout regional, continental, and even global scales. Network representativeness and constituency can show how well conditions at those locations represent conditions elsewhere within a larger area containing the network and can be used to help scale-up results over larger regions.
Representativeness: Euclidean distance between two sites plotted in multivariate environmental space can be used as an inverse measure of multivariate similarity to quantify representativeness. Close sites in environmental space have a similar combination of environmental factors, and therefore are highly representative of each other.
Constituency: For any site in the network, its Constituency represent all locations that are best represented by the multivariate environmental drivers at that site.
