Efficient Support for Speculative Tasking
Finally, recent proposals for Speculative Tasking have called for signatures in hardware to accelerate memory disambiguation. To take full advantage of signatures, this thesis presents SoftBulk, a novel architecture that exposes signatures to software directly through the instruction set. Using …

Distributed Algorithms for Tasking Large Sensor Networks
… is to provide a robust and scalable approach for tasking nodes that prolongs the effective life of the network. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are presented to characterize the behavior of these algorithms. Results obtained from simulation experiments indicate that the algorithms can …

Dynamic sensor tasking in heterogeneous, mobile sensor networks
Modern sensor environments often attempt to combine several sensors into a single sensor network. The nodes of this network are generally heterogeneous and may vary with respect to sensor complexity, sensor operational modes, power costs and other salient features. Optimization in this environment …

Reactive, Autonomous, Markovian Sensor Tasking in Communication Starved Environments
… (SSN) prevent any type of reactive sensor tasking, which is required in event of anomaly detection. This dissertation was designed to survey extensions to the classical notions of covariance based sensor tasking strategies and develop a methodology for evaluating these techniques. A …

Towards a New Directive-based Tasking API for Distributed Systems
… chips easier than ever. Although directive-based tasking models have paved the way to distributed systems, they still lack capabilities necessary for efficient large-scale computing. TagHit is an API proposed by the HPCTools group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Houston. …

Human-UAV Collaborative Search with Concurrent Flights and Re-Tasking
This thesis discusses a system that allows an operator to use two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to search an area. Prior work accomplished this in separate survey and search missions, and this work combines those two missions into one. The user conducts a search by selecting an area to survey, …

Design and verification of distributed tasking supervisors for concurrent programming languages
A tasking supervisor implements the concurrency constructs of a concurrent programming language. This thesis addresses two fundamental issues in constructing distributed implementations of a concurrent language: (1) Principles for designing a tasking supervisor for the language, and (2) Practical …

Effect of Dual Tasking On Walking Over Even and Uneven Surfaces in Functionally Independent Community Older Adults
… on even surfaces, to date the effects of dual tasking while walking on uneven surfaces commonly found in the community has received less attention. Thus, we sought to test the hypothesis that an incremental decrement in gait parameters will be observed, when walking on an uneven versus an even …

Walking and talking in multiple sclerosis: an investigation of cognitive-motor dual tasking and clinical research portfolio
… in MS patients. The role of task demand in dual-tasking decrements remains unclear and needs further investigation. Future studies should replicate the current findings and develop practical clinical tools to assess walking and talking ability.

The Influence of Dopaminergic Medication on Gait and Balance Automaticity and Nonlinear Regularity in Parkinson’s Disease
Dual-tasking studies have shown that gait and balance automaticity in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is significantly diminished. It is also well accepted that dopaminergic medication improves single-task gait and some aspects of balance. Yet, how dopaminergic medication influences gait and balance …
