Fill estimation for blocked sparse matrices and tensors
… will appear in a paper coauthored with Peter Ahrens and Nicholas Schiefer. We provide theoretical guarantees for sparse matrices and tensors, and experimental results for matrices. The existing state-of-the-art fill-estimation algorithm, which we will call OSKI, runs in time linear in the …

Vergleichende Untersuchungen zum Effekt von Interleukin-17A auf den Meniskus und hyalinen Gelenkknorpel im Rindermodell
Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Untersuchung des Einflusses von Interleukin-17A auf das Meniskusgewebe – teils vergleichend zum Gelenkknorpel - und die Kombination des Zytokins mit einer mechanischen Verletzung im Rahmen eines in-vitro-posttraumatischen Milieus. Gewebeexplantate in einer Höhe von ca. 1 …

Exploring alternatives to hardware support for fine-grain synchronization
As we prepare for the extreme-scale era of computing, communication overhead and synchronization between cores will soon become extremely important. In this work we study three different methods of support for fine-grain synchronization. Fine-grain synchronization allows a task to be broken up into …

Informing Data-Driven Recyclable Aluminum Design with Phase Constraints
The design of new aluminum alloys for recycling constitutes a large, multi-dimensional composition space. Within a Bayesian optimization blending model, phase or composition constraints are necessary to narrow the design space within and focus on regions that may contain viable alloys. This thesis …

A parallel fill estimation algorithm for sparse matrices and tensors in blocked formats
Many sparse matrices and tensors from a variety of applications, such as finite element methods and computational chemistry, have a natural aligned rectangular nonzero block structure. Researchers have designed high-performance blocked sparse operations which can take advantage of this sparsity …

Sparse and Structured Tensor Programming
From FORTRAN to NumPy, tensors have revolutionized how we express computation. However, tensors in these, and almost all prominent systems, can only handle dense rectilinear grids of values. Real-world tensors are often structured, containing patterns which allow us to optimize storage or …

Studies on the Nature of Triazine Resistance in Weeds
Triazine susceptible and resistant common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album L.) were grown under non-competitive conditions in a growth chamber. Although the two biotypes had equal leaf areas on a per plant basis, dry matter accumulation at pollination was 9% and 20% less in the resistant plants …

Optimal participation in the Conservation Reserve Program: Land enrollment decisions in a stochastic, dynamic framework
Growing public recognition of a soil erosion problem on agricultural lands culminated in the establishment of a Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) through the 1985 Food Security Act. The Act authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to enter into ten-year contracts with farmers, paying them an annual …
