Darrell Ulm on Threads, Comp. Sci.

As Darrell Ulm, my presence can be found on the burgeoning social networking site Threads under the username at https://www.threads.com/@darrell_ulm . This new platform offers familiar features for those acquainted with microblogging, allowing for text-based updates, the sharing of multimedia like photos and videos, and engagement through replies and reposts. It's a space for public conversation, and this account may serve as a channel for updates and insights related to computing, potentially reflecting involvement within the Kent State University community. Following this profile offers a way to stay connected with shared thoughts and information in this digital sphere.

Semantic Scholar New Site

I recently came across a new website called Semantic Scholar, and I've been exploring its collection of research papers and data. One thing that caught my eye was some interesting graphics illustrating the MASC, or Multiple Instruction Stream Associative Computer model. It seems like they have access to a lot of original research documents, because I even found a text comparing PRAM and MASC ( one on PRAM vs MASC ). I'm finding this site quite interesting and potentially useful for my own research.

Quick: Apache Spark a 'Fast' Post

Over at the other blog site made a 'quick' post about Apache Spark thinking that it is good that parallel computing is taking off as we have more and more data and cluster computing is commonplace now with AWS and Google-Cloud.

GitHub Darrell Ulm Profile Page - Open Source Software

Posted here is a link to the profile page of Darrell Ulm for GitHub which has Open Source code in several languages such as C/C++/C#, PHP/MySQL, Assembly Language, and Unity3d.

Some projects include Unity3d/C# code for a grid based game of tile matching, some code for Koha ILS in PHP/MySQL, a game for Unity3d Tap the Object type App, a Data-Parallel Compiler Optimizer written in C, and a module for Drupal called Google Books which loads data into text fields.

GitHub is definitely a great resource for Open Source software development, software workflow, and software development in general and gets better year to year and it seems like almost everyone is using it is some way for some coded project.

Computer Science - Darrell Ulm - Microsoft Research

The Stream Pram paper was written in 2005 and was co-written by Darrell Ulm.

This paper contained ideas about taking the abstract PRAM model, a module of parallel computation, and adding simultaneous multiple instruction streams for increased types of parallelism.

Here is a link: The Stream Pram Computer Science Paper by Darrell Ulm.

Some of the ideas here could apply to several actual parallel hardware, and the idea of SIMD applied parallel computation is applicable to modern GPU processors and gpGPUs which are excellent for tasks such as ray-tracing, and other graphics applications.

Clusters of GPUs can be thought of as multi-stream PRAM for the purpose of creating parallel algorithms.
