Extant Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) apply dynamic compiler optimizations adaptively, based on the partial execution of the program, with the goal of improving performance. Understanding and characterizing program behavior is of vital importance to such systems. Recent research, primarily in the area of computer architecture, has identified potential optimization opportunities in the repeating patterns in the time-varying behavior of programs. In view of this, we believe that by considering time-varying, i.e., phase, behavior in Java programs, adaptive JVMs can enable performance that exceeds current levels. To enable analysis and visualization of phase behavior in Java programs and to facilitate optimization development, we have implemented a freely available, offline, phase analysis framework within the IBM Jikes Research Virtual Machine (JikesRVM) for Java. The framework couples existing techniques into a unifying set of tools for data collection, processing, and analysis of dynamic phase behavior in Java programs. The framework enables optimization developers to significantly reduce analysis time and to target adaptive optimization to parts of the code that will recur with sufficient regularity. We use the framework to evaluate phase behavior in the SpecJVM benchmark suite and discuss optimizations that are enabled by the framework. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Almost all existing software for visualization of biomedical volumes provides three-dimensional (3D) rendering. The most common techniques for 3D rendering of volume data are maximum intensity projection (MIP) and direct volume rendering (DVR). Recently, rendering algorithms based on Monte-Carlo path tracing (MCPT) have also been considered. Depending on the algorithm, level of detail, volume size, and transfer function, rendering can be quite slow. In this paper, we present a simple and intuitive voxelization method for biomedical volume rendering optimization. The main advantage of the proposed method, besides the fast structure construction and traversal, is its straightforward application to MIP, DVR and MCPT rendering techniques (multi-target optimization). The same single structure (voxel grid) can be used for empty space skipping, optimized maximum intensity calculation and advanced Woodcock tracking. The performance improvement results suggest the use of the proposed method especially in cases where different rendering techniques are combined.

Functional approximation of scattered data is a popular technique for compactly representing various types of datasets in computer graphics, including surface, volume, and vector datasets. Typically, sums of Gaussians or similar radial basis functions are used in the functional approximation and PC graphics hardware is used to quickly evaluate and render these datasets. Previously, researchers presented techniques for spatially-limited spherical Gaussian radial basis function encoding and visualization of volumetric scalar vector and multifield datasets. While truncated radially symmetric basis functions are quick to evaluate and simple for encoding optimization, they are not the most appropriate choice for data that is not radially symmetric and are especially problematic for representing linear planar and many non-spherical structures. Therefore, we have developed a volumetric approximation and visualization system using ellipsoidal Gaussian functions which provides greater compression, and visually more accurate encodings of volumetric scattered datasets. In this paper we extend previous work to use ellipsoidal Gaussians as basis functions, create a rendering system to adapt these basis functions to graphics hardware rendering, and evaluate the encoding effectiveness and performance for both spherical Gaussians and ellipsoidal Gaussians.

Parallel coordinates plot (PCP) is an excellent tool for multivariate visualization and analysis, but it may fail to reveal inherent structures for complex and large datasets. Therefore, polyline clustering and coordinate sorting are inevitable for the accurate data exploration and analysis. In this paper, we propose a suite of novel clustering and dimension sorting techniques in PCP, to reveal and highlight hidden trend and correlation information of polylines. Spectrum theory is first introduced to specifically design clustering and sorting techniques for a clear view of clusters in PCP. We also provide an efficient correlation based sorting technique to optimize the ordering of coordinates to reveal correlated relations, and show how our view-range metrics, generated based on the aggregation constraints, can be used to make a clear view for easy data perception and analysis. Experimental results generated using our framework visually represent meaningful structures to guide the user, and improve the efficiency of the analysis, especially for the complex and noisy data.

An automatic viewpoint selection method based on the particle swarm optimization is proposed in this paper. The method introduces artificial intelligent techniques to design transfer function and select optimal viewpoint. By the method, the search for the transfer function and the optimal viewpoint are reformulated as a global optimization problem to decrease the reluctant interactions and computations. With this method the optimal position of the observation data is provided. This method improves the visualization efficiency by displaying as much information as possible on the screen.

This paper deals with the adaptation of a model predictive control to a blind system for building for preventing thermal discomfort, which occurs during summer. This system can be seen as a hybrid system by considering various blind positions. The MPC formulation leads to define a multi-objective optimization problem, for which the criteria are antagonist. This method seems to be effectiveness and is illustrated by various simulations within SIMBAD, a Matlab toolbox dedicated to building simulation. The proposed scheme is based on Branch and Bound techniques and does not rely on disturbance predictions, so that it could be easily implemented on industrial products.

The Evolutionary optimization (EO) field has become an active area of research for handling complex optimization problems. However, EO techniques need tuning to obtain better results. visualization is one approach used by EA researchers to identify early stagnation, loss of diversity, and other indicators that can help them to guide evolutionary search to better areas. In this paper, a Semantic Evolutionary visualization framework (SEV) is proposed for analysing and exploring the potential EA dynamics. Empirical results have shown that the SEV can help to reveal and monitor information on evolutionary dynamics;thus, it can assist researchers in adapting the evolutionary parameters to obtain better performance.

In this paper we propose a new approach to address the 3D multiframe reconstruction problem, by which a high resolution image is reconstructed from several low resolution images. The originality of this approach is that we regard the 3D perspective transformation as a part of the degradation faced by the imaging process from the original 3D object surface to the 2D imaged frames. Therefore, we reconstruct the pixel values of the original image directly from the low resolution image sequences. The quality of this approach is well demonstrated by simulated experiments.
