Generalized N-body problems: a framework for scalable computation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-08-26)In the wake of the Big Data phenomenon, the computing world has seen a number of computational paradigms developed in response to the sudden need to process ever-increasing volumes of data. Most notably, MapReduce has ... -
Generating and Analyzing Synthetic Workloads using Iterative Distillation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-05-14)The exponential growth in computing capability and use has produced a high demand for large, high-performance storage systems. Unfortunately, advances in storage system research have been limited by (1) a lack of ... -
Generation of Linux commands using natural language descriptions
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-03-01)Translating natural language into source code or programs is an important problem in natural language understanding -- both in terms of practical applications and in terms of understanding usage of language to affect action. ... -
Generic models for performance evaluation of computer networking protocols
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1992) -
Geometric Methods for Mining Large and Possibly Private Datasets
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-07-07)With the wide deployment of data intensive Internet applications and continued advances in sensing technology and biotechnology, large multidimensional datasets, possibly containing privacy-conscious information have been ... -
Geometric Prediction for Compression
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-06-26)This thesis proposes several new predictors for the compression of shapes, volumes and animations. To compress frames in triangle-mesh animations with fixed connectivity, we introduce the ELP (Extended Lorenzo Predictor) ... -
Getting and Keeping Children Engaged with a Constructionist Design Tool for Craft and Math
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-01-16)Manipulatives of various kinds are used in elementary schools as part of the mathematics curriculum. They are recognized for their affordances for helping children understand abstract ideas by connecting them to concrete ... -
The Ginga Approach to Adaptive Query Processing in Large Distributed Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2003-11-24)Processing and optimizing ad-hoc and continual queries in an open environment with distributed, autonomous, and heterogeneous data servers (e.g., the Internet) pose several technical challenges. First, it is well known ... -
Glitch game testers: the design and study of a learning environment for computational production with young African American males
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-03-30)The implementation of a learning environment for young African American males, called the Glitch Game Testers, was launched in 2009. The development of this program was based on formative work that looked at the contrasting ... -
Goal identification and refinement in the specification of software-based information systems

Graph analysis of streaming relational data
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-04-13)Graph analysis can be used to study streaming data from a variety of sources, such as social networks, financial transactions, and online communication. The analysis of streaming data poses many challenges, including dealing ... -
Graph and geometric algorithms on distributed networks and databases
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-05-16)In this thesis, we study the power and limit of algorithms on various models, aiming at applications in distributed networks and databases. In distributed networks, graph algorithms are fundamental to many applications. ... -
Graph-level operations: A high-level interface for graph visualization technique specification
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-08-18)More and more the world is being described as graphs---as connections between people, places, and ideas---since they provide a richer model than simply understanding each item in isolation. In order to help analysts ... -
