Protecting Our Shorelines: Modeling the Effects of Tsunamis and Storm Waves
November 2015
Computer: Volume 48 Issue 11, November 2015
Publisher: IEEE Computer Society Press
Predicting the complex behavior and aftermath of coastal tsunamis and storm surges is inherently difficult. Real-time disaster warning requires rapid computation with reliable accuracy and effective output presentation. The authors present two ways to leverage high-performance computing resources to address these challenges.

Publisher: Springer-Verlag
In this paper, we present a rule-based approach to fine-grained data-dependent access control for database systems. Authorization rules in this framework are described in a logical language that allows us to specify policies systematically and easily. The language expresses authorization rules based on the values, types, and semantics of data ...

International Journal of High Performance Computing and Networking: Volume 3 Issue 2/3, November 2005
Publisher: Inderscience Publishers
HPC programmers utilise tracefiles, which record program behaviour in great detail, as the basis for many performance analysis activities. The lack of generally accessible tracefiles has forced programmers to develop their own testbeds in order to study the basic performance characteristics of the platforms they use. Because tracefiles serve as ...

Publisher: Springer-Verlag
Tracefiles provide a convenient record of the behavior of HPC programs, but are not generally archived because of their storage requirements. This has hindered the developers of performance analysis tools, who must create their own tracefile collections in order to test tool functionality and usability. This paper describes a shared ...

A debugging standard for high-performance computing
April 2000
Scientific Programming: Volume 8 Issue 2, April 2000
Publisher: IOS Press
Throughout 1998, the High Performance Debugging Forum worked on defining a base level standard for high performance debuggers. The standard had to meet the sometimes conflicting constraints of being useful to users, realistically implementable by developers, and architecturally independent across multiple platforms. To meet criteria for timeliness, the standard had ...
