    INVESTIGATING TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR IMPROVING SOFTWARE PERFORMANCE ON MULTIPROCESSOR COMPUTER SYSTEMS A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE of RHODES UNIVERSITY by WAIDE BARRINGTON TRISTRAM Grahamstown, South Africa March 2011 Abstract The availability of modern commodity multicore processors and multiprocessor computer sys- tems has resulted in the widespread adoption of parallel computers in a variety of environments, ranging from the home to workstation and server environments in particular. Unfortunately, par- allel programming is harder and requires more expertise than the traditional sequential program- ming model. The variety of tools and parallel programming models available to the programmer further complicates the issue. The primary goal of this research was to identify and describe a selection of parallel programming tools and techniques to aid novice parallel programmers in the process of developing efficient parallel C/C++ programs for the Linux platform. This was achieved by highlighting and describing the key concepts and hardware factors that affect parallel programming, providing a brief survey of commonly available software development tools and parallel programming models and libraries, and presenting structured approaches to software performance tuning and parallel programming. Finally, the performance of several parallel programming models and libraries was investigated, along with the programming effort required to implement solutions using the respective models. A quantitative research methodology was applied to the investigation of the performance and programming effort associated with the selected parallel programming models and libraries, which included automatic parallelisation by the compiler, Boost Threads, Cilk Plus, OpenMP, POSIX threads (Pthreads), and Threading Building Blocks (TBB).

Abstract Background: Video cameras sense passively from a distance, offer a rich information stream, and provide intuitively meaningful raw data. Camera-based imaging has thus proven critical for many advances in neuroscience and biology, with applications ranging from cellular imaging of fluorescent dyes to tracking of whole-animal behavior at ecologically relevant spatial scales. Results: Here we present 'Motmot': an open-source software suite for acquiring, displaying, saving, and analyzing digital video in real-time. At the highest level, Motmot is written in the Python computer language. The large amounts of data produced by digital cameras are handled by low- level, optimized functions, usually written in C. This high-level/low-level partitioning and use of select external libraries allow Motmot, with only modest complexity, to perform well as a core technology for many high-performance imaging tasks.

    UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Department of informatics Analysis of Obfuscated CIL code Master Thesis 60 credits Linn Marie Frydenberg 1st August 2006 - 1 - Preface This master thesis is the result of one year’s work in order to fulfill the requirements for the Master degree at University of Oslo, Faculty of Informatics. Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my supervisors, Torgeir Broen at Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and Birger Møller-Pedersen at Faculty of Informatics, University of Oslo, for their excellent guidance, various thoughts and good comments during my thesis work. I also want to thank Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) for making laboratory space available. Last but not least, I would like to thank my boyfriend Alex for his love and support, and also my family and friends for their support and encouragement during my work. Oslo, August 2007 Linn Marie Frydenberg - 2 - - 3 - Abstract This thesis focuses on a technique known as obfuscation. The area has been given much attention in recent years as a low cost technique for software protection. There are already numerous papers concerned with techniques for both obfuscation and deobfuscation, but there are still many untouched issues, and little have been done in practice. The use of obfuscators in practice is one of the issues explored in this thesis, on the .NET platform. Most of today’s obfuscation research is designed and tested on the Java platform. It is therefore interesting to see which techniques that are implemented in the .NET obfuscators. The used .NET language in this thesis is C#.
