PORTA-SIMD: AN OPTIMALLY PORTABLE SIMD PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE by Russell Raymond Tuck, III Department of Computer Science Duke University Dissertation submitte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Computer Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 1990 Copyright © 1990 by Russell Raymond Tuck, III All rights reserved Abstract Existing programming languages contain architectural assumptions which limit their porta­ bility. I submit optimal portability, a new concept which solves this language design problem. Optimal portability makes it possible to design languages which are portable across vari­ ous sets of diverse architectures. SIMD (Single-Instruction stream, Multiple-Data stream) computers represent an important and very diverse set of architectures for which to demon­ strate optimal portability. Porta-SIMD (pronounced "porta.-simm'd") is the first optimally portable language for SIMD computers. It was designed and implemented to demonstrate that optimal portability is a useful and achievable standard for language design. An optimally portable language allows each program to specify the architectural features it requires. The language then enables the compiled program to exploit exactly those fea.­ tures, and to run on all architectures that provide them.

However, the Lidar performance of pushbroom DAP relative to frame-based DAP and airborne lidar is not well documented. Interest Structure from motion in DAP stems largely from its low cost relative to lidar. Studies have demonstrated that frame-based DAP Photogrammetry generally performs slightly poorer than lidar, but still provides good value due to its reduced cost. In the USA Forestry pushbroom imagery can be dramatically less expensive than frame-camera imagery in part because of a na- DAP tionwide collection program.

While it is not a reference for any particular client or server, you will find links to particular clients and servers in it. 2. What is OPeNDAP OPeNDAP provides a way for researchers to access scientific data anywhere on the Internet, from a wide variety of new and existing programs. It is used widely in earth-science research settings but it is not limited to that. Using a flexible data model and a well-defined transmission format, an OPeNDAP client can request data from a wide variety of OPeNDAP servers, allowing researchers to enjoy flexibility similar to the flexibility of the web. There are different implementations of OPeNDAP produced by various open source NOTE organizations. This guide covers the implementation of OPeNDAP produced by the OPeNDAP group. The OPeNDAP architecture uses a client/server model, with a client that sends requests for data out onto the network to a server, that answers with the requested data.

The OPeNDAP group is also the original developer of the Data Access Protocol (DAP) that the software uses. Many other groups have adopted DAP and provide compatible clients, servers, and SDKs. OPeNDAP’s DAP is also a NASA community standard. For the rest of this document, "OPeNDAP" will refer to the software. With OPeNDAP, you can access data using an OPeNDAP URL of any database server that supports OPeNDAP. You can do this via command-line, Internet browser, or a custom UI. You can also use other NetCFD complaint tools, such asMatlab, R, IDL, IDV, and Panoply. Note that OPeNDAP data is, by default, stored and transmitted in binary form. In addition to its native data representation format, OPeNDAP can get data in the following formats: NetCDF, GeoTIFF, JPEG2000, JSON, ASCII. This quick start guide covers how to use OPeNDAP in a typical web browser, such as Firefox, Chrome, or Safari, to discover information about data that is useful when creating database queries.

    Developing Policy Inputs for Efficient Trade and Sustainable Development Using Data Analysis Mini.K.G Senior Scientist, Fisheries Resources Assessment Division Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi Email: [email protected] Introduction Trade forms a vital part of the world economy. The analysis of data on trade and related parameters plays a pivotal role in developing policy inputs for efficient trade and sustainable development. It is evident that the success of any type of analysis depends on the availability of the suitable type of data. In general, time series, cross sectional and pooled data are the three types of data available for trade analysis. Time series data are characterized by observations collected at regular intervals over a period of time while cross-sectional data are data on one or more variables collected at the same point of time. The pooled data is a combination of time series and cross-sectional data. For example, panel data, which is a special type of pooled data is used to study the relationship between trade flows and trade barriers over time. In recent years, the quantitative and qualitative analysis of trade and the effects of policies have grown sharply. This was due to the advances in the theoretical and analytical techniques as well as increased computational and data processing power of computers. A multitude of analysis tools are available in today’s world for a thorough and scientifically valid analysis of data. There are several choices available for the user to choose from – ranging from the general public license packages, analysis packages with statistical add-ons, general purpose languages with statistics libraries to the advanced proprietary packages.
