  • A Package of LISP Functions for Making Movies and Demos 
    Lerman, Jerome B. (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1972-06)
    A collection of functions have been written to allow LISP users to record display calls in a disk file. This file can be UREAD into a small LISP to reproduce the display effects of the program without doing the required ...
  • Paradigms for Structure in an Amorphous Computer 
    Coore, Daniel; Nagpal, Radhika; Weiss, Ron (1997-10-01)
    Recent developments in microfabrication and nanotechnology will enable the inexpensive manufacturing of massive numbers of tiny computing elements with sensors and actuators. New programming paradigms are required for ...
  • Parallel Algorithms for Computer Vision on the Connection Machine 
    Little, James J. (1986-11-01)
    The Connection Machine is a fine-grained parallel computer having up to 64K processors. It supports both local communication among the processors, which are situated in a two-dimensional mesh, and high-bandwidth ...
  • Parallel and Deterministic Algorithms for MRFs: Surface Reconstruction and Integration 
    Geiger, Davi; Girosi, Federico (1989-05-01)
    In recent years many researchers have investigated the use of Markov random fields (MRFs) for computer vision. The computational complexity of the implementation has been a drawback of MRFs. In this paper we derive ...
  • Parallel Computation of Vernier Offsets, Curvature and Chevrons in Humans 
    Fahle, Manfred (1989-12-01)
    A vernier offset is detected at once among straight lines, and reaction times are almost independent of the number of simultaneously presented stimuli (distractors), indicating parallel processing of vernier offsets. ...
  • Parallel Coupled Micro-Macro Actuators 
    Morrell, John Bryant (1996-01-01)
    This thesis presents a new actuator system consisting of a micro-actuator and a macro-actuator coupled in parallel via a compliant transmission. The system is called the Parallel Coupled Micro-Macro Actuator, or PaCMMA. ...
  • A Parallel Crossbar Routing Chip for a Shared Memory Multiprocessor 
    Minsky, Henry (1991-03-01)
    This thesis describes the design and implementation of an integrated circuit and associated packaging to be used as the building block for the data routing network of a large scale shared memory multiprocessor system. ...
  • Parallel Flow Graph Matching for Automated Program Recognition 
    Ritto, Patrick M. (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1988-07)
    A flow graph matching algorithm has been implemented on the Connection Machine which employs parallel techniques to allow efficient subgraph matching. By constructing many different matchings in parallel, the algorithm is ...
  • Parallel Function Application on a DNA Substrate 
    Blumberg, Andrew Justin (1996-12-01)
    In this paper I present a new model that employs a biological (specifically DNA -based) substrate for performing computation. Specifically, I describe strategies for performing parallel function application in the ...
  • Parallelism in Manipulator Dynamics 
    Lathrop, Richard D. (1984-12-01)
    This paper addresses the problem of efficiently computing the motor torques required to drive a lower-pair kinematic chain (e.g., a typical manipulator arm in free motion, or a mechanical leg in the swing phase) given ...
  • A Parallelizing Compiler Based on Partial Evaluation 
    Surati, Rajeev (1993-07-01)
    We constructed a parallelizing compiler that utilizes partial evaluation to achieve efficient parallel object code from very high-level data independent source programs. On several important scientific applications, ...
  • Parallelizing Sequential Programs With Statistical Accuracy Tests 
    Misailovic, Sasa; Kim, Deokhwan; Rinard, Martin (2010-08-05)
    We present QuickStep, a novel system for parallelizing sequential programs. QuickStep deploys a set of parallelization transformations that together induce a search space of candidate parallel programs. Given a sequential ...
  • Parallel Methods for Synthesizing Whole-Hand Grasps from Generalized Prototypes 
    Pollard, Nancy S. (1994-01-01)
    This report addresses the problem of acquiring objects using articulated robotic hands. Standard grasps are used to make the problem tractable, and a technique is developed for generalizing these standard grasps to ...
  • Parallel Networks for Machine Vision 
    Horn, Berthold K.P. (1988-12-01)
    The amount of computation required to solve many early vision problems is prodigious, and so it has long been thought that systems that operate in a reasonable amount of time will only become feasible when parallel ...
  • A Parallel Processing Model of Musical Structures 
    Smoliar, Stephen W. (1971-09-01)
    Euterpe is a real-time computer system for the modeling of musical structures. It provides a formalism wherein familiar concepts of musical analysis may be readily expressed. This is verified by its application to the ...
  • Parallel Simulation of Subsonic Fluid Dynamics on a Cluster of Workstations 
    Skordos, Panayotis A. (1995-12-01)
    An effective approach of simulating fluid dynamics on a cluster of non- dedicated workstations is presented. The approach uses local interaction algorithms, small communication capacity, and automatic migration of parallel ...
  • Parallel Solutions to Geometric Problems on the Scan Model of Computation 
    Blelloch, Guy E.; Little, James J. (1988-02-01)
    This paper describes several parallel algorithms that solve geometric problems. The algorithms are based on a vector model of computation---the scan-model. The purpose of this paper is both to show how the model can ...
  • Parameter Estimation in Chaotic Systems 
    Hung, Elmer S. (1995-04-01)
    This report examines how to estimate the parameters of a chaotic system given noisy observations of the state behavior of the system. Investigating parameter estimation for chaotic systems is interesting because of ...
  • Parsing and Generating English Using Commutative Transformations 
    Katz, Boris; Winston, Patrick H. (1982-05-01)
    This paper is about an implemented natural language interface that translates from English into semantic net relations and from semantic net relations back into English. The parser and companion generator were implemented ...
  • Parsing and Linguistic Explanation 
    Berwick, Robert C.; Weinberg, Amy S. (1985-04-01)
    This article summarizes and extends recent results linking deterministic parsing to observed "locality principles" in syntax. It also argues that grammatical theories based on explicit phrase structure rules are unlikely ...
