Data-Mining Discovery of Pattern and Process in Ecological Systems
White Paper Most ecologists use statistical methods as their main analytical tools when analyzing data to identify relationships between a response and a set of predictors; thus, they treat all analyses as hypothesis tests or exercises in parameter... [29 Aug 2009]
Cornell Uses High-Performance Computing to Speed Research, Extend Software Access
White Paper As one of the world's leading research institutions, Cornell University has been engaged in high-performance computing since that term referred to mainframe computing. More than 10 years ago, Cornell... [25 Jul 2009]
Bill Gates: 'We're going to make the cows that don't fart'
Comment And there were a lot of interesting ones, but these Feynman lectures that he gave at Cornell.those were just unbelievably good. It's been a year since Bill Gates left full-time work at Microsoft, but he's found plenty to... [16 Jul 2009]
ImageNow for Higher Education
White Paper For Cornell University, the University of Cambridge, University of Cape Town and approximately 350 other colleges and universities worldwide that use ImageNow enterprise document management, imaging and workflow from... [02 Apr 2009]
Dell PowerEdge R900 Servers Give the Cornell Institute for Social and Economic Research (CISER) a 400-Percent Boost in Processing Capacity
White Paper With data sets becoming larger and more scientists working concurrently, CISER's high-performance computing cluster was no longer able to keep up with the demands of advanced social and economic research. [01 Jan 2009]
Context-Sensitive Keyword Search and Ranking for XML
White Paper Traditionally, keyword-search-based Information Retrieval (IR) has focused on "Flat" documents, which either do not have any inherent structure or have structure that is not exploited by the IR system. [04 Dec 2008]
MultiMATLAB: MATLAB on Multiple Processors
White Paper MATLAB, a commercial product of The MathWorks, Inc.has become one of the principal languages of desktop scientific computing. A system is described that enables one to run MATLAB conveniently on multiple processors. [22 Oct 2008]
Open-Loop Clock and Data Recovery Systems
White Paper CDR circuits typically use PLLs, but their complexity presents several design challenges : the input data stream is random and is usually in Non-Return-to-Zero (NRZ) data format, and little energy exists at the clock frequency that is to... [22 Oct 2008]
User-Specified Adaptive Scheduling in a Streaming Media Network
White Paper In disaster and combat situations, mobile cameras and other sensors transmit real-time data, used by many operators or analysis tools. Unfortunately, in the face of limited, unreliable resources, and varying demands, not all users may be... [22 Oct 2008]
Scalable Management and Data Mining Using Astrolabe
White Paper To a growing degree, applications are expected to be self-configuring and self-managing, and as the range of permissible configurations grows, this is becoming an enormously complex undertaking. Indeed, the management subsystem for a... [07 Oct 2008]
Randomization in Privacy Preserving Data Mining
White Paper Suppose there are many clients, each having some personal information, and one server, which is interested only in aggregate, statistically significant, properties of this information. The clients can protect privacy of their data by... [01 Oct 2008]
Efficient and Accurate Ethernet Simulation
White Paper The Internet is increasingly being called upon to provide different levels of service to different applications and users. A practical problem in doing so is that although Ethernet is one of the hops for nearly all communication in the... [11 Sep 2008]
An Experimental Study of the Skype Peer-to-Peer VoIP System
White Paper Despite its popularity, relatively little is known about the traffic characteristics of the Skype VoIP system and how they differ from other P2P systems. The paper describes an experimental study of Skype VoIP traffic conducted over a... [04 Aug 2008]
Semi-Oblivious Routing: Lower Bounds
White Paper This paper initiates the study of semi-oblivious routing; a relaxation of oblivious routing which is first introduced by Racke and led to many subsequent improvements and applications. In semi-oblivious routing like oblivious routing,... [11 Jul 2008]
The Price of Stability for Network Design With Fair Cost Allocation
White Paper Network design is a fundamental problem for which it is important to understand the effects of strategic behavior. Given a collection of self-interested agents who want to form a network connecting certain endpoints, the set of stable... [24 Jan 2008]
