Ubiquitous Computing Some Computer Science Issues in Ubiquitous Computing Mark Weiser March 23, 1993 [to appear in CACM, July 1993] Ubiquitous computing is the method of enhancing computer use by making many computers available throughout the physical environment, but making them effectively invisible to the user. Since we started this work at Xerox PARC in 1988, a number of researchers around the world have begun to work in the ubiquitous computing framework. This paper explains what is new and different about the computer science in ubiquitous computing. It starts with a brief overview of ubiquitous computing, and then elaborates through a series of examples drawn from various subdisciplines of computer science: hardware components (e.g. chips), network protocols, interaction substrates (e.g. software for screens and pens), applications, privacy, and computational methods. Ubiquitous computing offers a framework for new and exciting research across the spectrum of computer science. The idea of ubiquitous computing first arose from contemplating the place of today's computer in actual activities of everyday life. In particular, anthropological studies of work life [Suchman 1985, Lave 1991] teach us that people primarily work in a world of shared situations and unexamined technological skills. However the computer today is isolated and isolating from the overall situation, and fails to get out of the way of the work. In other words, rather than being a tool through which we work, and so which disappears from our awareness, the computer too often remains the focus of attention. And this is true throughout the domain of personal computing as currently implemented and discussed for the future, whether one thinks of PC's, palmtops, or dynabooks. The characterization of the future computer as the "intimate computer" [Kay 1991], or "rather like a human assistant" [Tesler 1991] makes this attention to the machine itself particularly apparent.

We examine the convergence characteristics of iterative methods based on a new preconditioning operator for solving the linear systems arising from discretization and linearization of the steady-state Navier-Stokes equations. With a combination of analytic and empirical results, we study the effects of fundamental parameters on convergence. We demonstrate that the preconditioned problem has an eigenvalue distribution consisting of a tightly clustered set together with a small number of outliers. The structure of these distributions is independent of the discretization mesh size, but the cardinality of the set of outliers increases slowly as the viscosity becomes smaller. These characteristics are directly correlated with the convergence properties of iterative solvers.

Predicting the Effects of Scalar Replacement On Register Aloocation for Software Pipelined Loops Rong Ge Department of Computer Science Michigan Technological University Wednesday, March 13 at 4:00 PM in Fisher 126 ABSTRACT Since the advent of ILP (Instruction-level Parallelism) processors, people have been trying to exploit the parallelism that exists at the operation level. Software pipelining is an excellent method for improving the parallelism in loops by overlapping operations from various loop iterations. However, software pipelining also brings a large register demand. Since the operations from different iterations are scheduled together, a value could need multiple copies to keep it live long enough to reach its last reference. In the case that the lifetime of a register is longer than the length of software pipelined loop body, multiple copies of this register are needed. The increase in register demand could be tremendous when a long schedule is wrapped and fitted into a small software pipelined body. If the register demand exceeds the number of registers available on the machine, some values have to be stored back to memory to make room for others. A better register pressure prediction scheme must be developed in order to take fully advantage of the benefit of software pipelining. Decreasing execution time is the goal of compiler optimization. To achieve this goal, memory operations are big concerns, especially in loops, because array operations appear in a loop very often. Failing to recognize memory reuse will cause a great number of memory accesses, thereby extending the loop's execution time. Scalar replacement, by replacing array variables with scalars, can effectively reduce the memory resource demand in innermost loop. However, for keeping the right semantics, an array variable could be replaced by more than one scalar variable. This can tremendously increase the register demand. So correctly estimating register pressure to avoid being over aggressive with scalar replacement becomes very important.

Predicting the Effects of Register Allocation on Software Pipelined Loops Rong Ge Department of Computer Science Michigan Technological University Friday, July 5 at 10:30 AM in Fisher 131 ABSTRACT Since the advent of instruction level parallel processors, compiler techniques have worked together with multiple-instruction-issue hardware to exploit instruction level parallelism(ILP) in programs. Software pipelining is an excellent compiler loop optimization technique to achieve ILP by overlapping operations from various loop iterations. However, software pipelining incurs a large register demand and the number of registers required is hard to predict before actually software pipelining the code. One reason for difficulty in predicting register pressure is that we cannot determine in which cycle a register is defined or used before getting a real schedule. Another factor preventing the accurate prediction is determining the effects of high resource constraints that can stretch the lifetime of registers, thereby increasing register pressure. This research develops an algorithm to compute an approximate schedule that allows a more accurate prediction of register pressure than previous techniques. This approach creates a more accurate prediction because the approximate schedule is close to the real schedule except when the resource constraints become the main concern. In addition computing the approximate schedule is much less expensive than computing a real schedule. Based upon the approximate schedule, it is not hard to compute the number of live registers for each cycle. The maximum value is the predicted register pressure of a software pipelined loop. To handle tight resource constraints, two heuristic algorithms are developed to predict possible register demand based upon the average resource requirement.
