  Education, outreach, and training for high-performance computing
Joiner D., Peck C., Murphy T., Gray P. Computing in Science and Engineering 10(5): 40-45, 2008.  Type: Article

How many times have educators been told that they need to present real-world situations to their students or bring the world into the classroom? High-performance computing (HPC) education, outreach, and training (EOT) are necessary for...

  High-dimensionality data reduction with Java
Villalón E. Computing in Science and Engineering 10(5): 64-69, 2008.  Type: Article

This paper describes how the author used the Java Media Framework to implement some rudimentary dimensionality reduction techniques on videos, in order to make them more easily tractable for further processing. She targets two applicat...

  The clustered causal state algorithm: efficient pattern discovery for lossy data-compression applications
Schmiedekamp M., Subbu A., Phoha S. Computing in Science and Engineering 8(5): 59-67, 2006.  Type: Article

Some heuristic methods for constructing finite Markov chains to approximate an observed data stream are described in this paper. The main idea is to apply these techniques to data compression where loss is allowed, such as with video s...
