Parallel direct execution simulation is an important tool for performance and scalability analysis of large message passing parallel programs executing on top of a virtual computer. However, detailed simulation of message-passing codes requires a great deal of computation. We are therefore interested in pursuing implementation techniques which can decrease this cost. One idea is to implement the application virtual processes as lightweight threads rather than traditional Unix processes, reducing both on-processor communication costs and context switching costs. We describe an initial implementation of a thread-based parallel direct execution simulator. We discuss the advantages of such an approach and present preliminary results that indicate a significant improvement over the process-based approach.

Intelligent instrument fault diagnosis is addressed using expert networks, a hybrid technique which blends traditional rule-based expert systems with neural network style training. One of the most difficult aspects of instrument fault diagnosis is developing an appropriate rule base for the expert network. Beginning with an initial set of rules given by experts, a more accurate representation of the reasoning process can be found using example data. A methodology for determining alternate paths of reasoning and incorporating them into the expert network is presented. Our technique presupposes interaction and cooperation with the expert, and is intended to be used with the assistance of the expert to incorporate knowledge discovered from the data into the intelligent diagnosis tool. Tests of this methodology are conducted within the problem domain of fault diagnosis for gas chromatography. Performance statistics indicate the efficacy of automating the introduction of alternate path reasoning into the diagnostic reasoning system.

One of the promises of parallelized discrete-event simulation is that it might provide significant speedups over sequential simulation. In reality, high performance cannot be achieved unless the system is fine-tuned to balance computation, communication, and synchronization requirements. In this paper, we discuss our experiments in automated load balancing using the SPEEDES simulation framework. Specifically, we examine three mapping algorithms that use run-time measurements. Using simulation models of queuing networks and the National Airspace System, we investigate (i) the use of run-time data to guide mapping, (ii) the utility of considering communication costs in a mapping algorithm, (iii) the degree to which computational ``hot-spots'' ought to be broken up in the linearization, and (iv) the relative execution costs of the different algorithms. We compare the performance of the three algorithms using results from the Intel Paragon.

A critical issue in understanding high speed flows is the study of shock waves. The paper summarizes our research on techniques for the detection and visualization of shock waves occuring in simulations of three dimensional flows on unstructured grids. Detection algorithms based on Mach number, density gradient and directional derivatives are compared using a data set from calculations of a transonic flow with a weak double shock around an airfoil. Both surface and volume rendering techniques are used to display the shocks. The issues in this research area are very much like those occurring in medical imaging. Since the data themselves (in this case the results of the fluid dynamics simulation) are intrinsically low resolution and noisy, properly extracting and visualizing the shock is very difficult. In this environment, blurry, low resolution techniques, like the splatting volume rendering, seem to do rather well. More complex schemes, using sophisticated numerical shock detectors coupled with polygon rendering, produce visually sharper shocks, but also introduce "graphics artifacts," which complicate understanding of the flow physics. On the other hand, visualization results produced with techniques like splatting are, in effect, relying more on the human visual system to compensate for limited resolution in the simulation.

Bonding of silicon directly to silicon is possible with proper preparation of the two surfaces to be bonded. The advantage of such a method is that a bonding agent is not required, and direct bonding avoids figure errors introduced by thickness variations in a bonding agent. We have succeeded in bonding a 3‐inch‐diameter diced (1 mm × 1 mm) silicon(111) oriented wafer to a silicon concave spherical form having a 3‐m radius. A very good rms figure error of 0.059 millirad over the entire area of the analyzer was measured. The suitability for x‐ray inelastic scattering due to introduced strain is, however, still an open question. Whether or not deleterious strain is unavoidably introduced during the bonding process is a question we will answer with availability of photons on sector 3 of the SRI CAT at the Advanced Photon Source.

This paper presents a new switching control scheme for static var compensator (SVC) using fuzzy logic control rules to enhance the overall stability of electric power systems. In addition, the coordination with power system stabilizers (PSS) is also considered to achieve a wider stable region. An SVC is set on one of the busbars in the transmission system, where the real power flow signal is utilized at the location of the SVC to determine the firing angle of the thyristor switch. The switching control scheme is simple so as not to require heavy computation on the microcomputer based switching controller. The PSSs are also set on the generators in the study system. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed fuzzy logic switching control scheme for the SVC. The coordination between SVC and PSS is also effective to enlarge the stable region.

A form evaluation system for brush-written Chinese characters is *** knowledge used in the system is represented in the form of ruleswith the help of a data structure proposed in this paper. Reflecting the spe-cific hierarchical relations among radicals and strokes of Chinese characters,the proposed data structure is based upon a character model that can generatebrush-written Chinese characters on a computer. Through evaluation experi-ments using the developed system, it is shown that representation of calligraphicknowledge and form evaluation of Chinese characters can be smoothly realizedif the data structure is utilized.
