Achieving performance portability across parallel accelerator architectures
Parallel programming requires a significant amount of developer effort, and creating optimized parallel code is even more time-consuming. In the end, tuned parallel codes typically only perform well for a single architecture, or even microarchitecture. This thesis focuses on SPMD code written in …

Improving the portability of natural language interfaces through learning
One major concern with natural language interfaces is dealing with the problem of porting the system from one domain to another. Early approaches required that significant parts of the system be rewritten. Improvements have been made to the point that a system can be configured for a new database …

Vertical integration and the portability of skill sets in high tech industries
Some companies use vertical integration to enter higher growth businesses and gain higher margins. Attractive business opportunities often appear just beyond one's stage in a value chain, leading companies to grasp for another stage's profits. However, the skill set one builds in a particular stage …

Enhanced Portability and Anti-Frosting Functionality of Cryostats for Synchrotron-Based X-ray Imaging
The intensity of light produced from synchrotrons enables X-ray imaging down to the micron and submicron scale. This high degree of resolution is necessary to study metals in hydrated biological samples, where trace (metal) elements are found in the lowest concentration. Water within these aqueous …
