Understanding secondary structures of RNAs helps to determine their chemical and biological properties. Only a small number of RNA structures have been determined currently since such structure determination experiments are timeconsuming and expensive. As a result, scientists start to rely on RNA secondary structure prediction. Unlike protein structure prediction, predicting RNA secondary struc...

In this paper we present a probabilistic approach to analysis and prediction of protein structure. We argue that this approach provides a exible and convenient mechanism to perform general scienti c data analysis in molecular biology. We apply our approach to an important problem in molecular biology|predicting the secondary structure of proteins|and obtain experimental results comparable to se...

This paper presents a new technique that enhances the process and the methodology used in a performance prediction analysis. An automatic dynamic instrumentation methodology is added to Warwick’s Performance Analysis and Characterization Environment PACE [1]. The automation process has eliminated the need to manually obtain application information and data. The Dynamic instrumentation has given...

In this paper a new Query Performance Prediction method is introduced. This method is based on the hypothesis that different score distributions appear for ‘hard’ and ‘easy’ queries. Following we propose a set of measures which try to capture the differences between both types of distributions, focusing on the dispersion degree among the scores. We have applied some variants of the classic stan...

{ Simulation studies are quite useful for performance prediction on new architectures and for systematic analysis of performance perturbations caused by variations in the machine parameters, such as communication latencies. Trace-driven simulation is necessary to avoid large computational costs over multiple simulation runs. However, trace-driven simulation of nondeterministic programs has turn...

This paper describes a mechanism to enable users of performance modeling tools to transfer models among a set of tools. This paper describes the evolution and definition of a basic PMIF. It describes how tool developers can implement the PMIF and how the export and import would work for users. A simple example illustrates the format. The paper describes how to extend the PMIF to add new feature...
