A discrete-event simulation tool for resource constrained networks
Liang, Bolong (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-12)Resource Constrained Networks (RCN) have become a hot topic in recent years, they includes Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET) and Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTN). Security is one of the major ... -
A framework for comparison of methods for solving complemetarity problems that arise in multibody dynamics
Lu, Ying (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-08)Among the simulation software packages in popular use today, there is no entirely satisfactory algorithm to compute the contact impacts with friction, and unbiased comparison and physical validation remain rare. Users with ... -
A parallel and adaptive interface tracking approach for evolving geometry problems
Yang, Fan (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-12)Numerical simulations employing an interface tracking approach are desired in many evolving-geometry applications, particularly those involving fluid-structure and/or multiphase interactions with moving boundaries/interfaces. ... -
Advanced optimizations for large scale parallel discrete event simulations
LaPre, Justin M. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-12)This thesis has four specific contributions to parallel discrete-event simulation. First, we demonstrate the efficacy of ultra large-scale wireless networking simulations utilizing the OLSR protocol on HPC platforms. ... -
Antikernel: a decentralized secure hardware-software operating system architecture
Zonenberg, Andrew D. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)Security of monolithic kernels, and even microkernels, relies on a large and complex body of code (including both software and hardware components) being entirely bug-free. Most contemporary operating systems can be ... -

Combinatorial neural network training algorithm for neuromorphic computing
Date, Prasanna (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-08)In Computer Science, we have realized that the end of Moore’s Law is just around the corner, and it would not be possible to sustain the exponential increase in computation speed on conventional compute platforms like CPUs ... -
Conformal mesh adaptation on heterogeneous supercomputers
Ibanez, Daniel Alejandro (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-12)Mesh adaptation is a technique which dynamically modifies the mesh being used to approximately solve a Partial Differential Equation (PDE) in order to improve aspects of the approximate solution including the computer time ... -

Dynamic grasp analysis and profiling of Gazebo
Wang, Jielei (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)In this work, we consider dynamics and uncertainty of the pose of the object during grasp analysis of Atlas robot simulated in Gazebo. Considering dynamics is crucial during grasping process in dynamic environment as well ... -
Dynamic grasp analysis and profiling of Gazebo
Wang, Jielei (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-12)Sometimes the simulations are very slow and sometimes are unstable. Thus we find it necessary to determine the bottleneck of the simulator which is another work presented in this thesis. Using a profiling tool, we are able ... -
