Giga bites

commercial fertilization of the oceans, which could emerge as a new way for fuel-guzzling countries to engineer their carbon balance. Particularly, they criticize the size of the project, and the fact that it is located in the open ocean, while an international convention that Gabriel helped to set up in 2008 specifies that such experiments are only permissible for fundamental research, on a sm...

Giga-Mining

We describe an industrial-strength data mining application in telecommunications. The application requires building a short (7 byte) profile for all telephone numbers een on a large telecom network. By large, we mean very large: we mainrain approximately 350 million profiles. In addition, the procedure for updating these profiles is based on processing approximately 275 million call records per...

Giga-plant Scalable Cluster

The Giga-Plant is a next generation compute cluster architecture under construction within the Scalable Computing Laboratory (SCL). This work describes the general cluster design philosophy utilized on this machine and others, and illustrates the performance evaluation process that was exercised in order to make an informed hardware purchasing decision. We present network communication throughp...

GIGA: A Pen-Based Constraint Drawing System

Traditional sketching/drawing tools oncomputers lacked the freedom of real pens. They also ignore human perception. In order to avoid such limitation, we developed new techniques such as interactive beaut$ication with extended pie-menu (PieSlider), sketch with perceptual recognition (PerSketch), the function of layout according to human perception (PerLayout), and new data structure for PerSket...
