Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter Steering Ole Miss to Greater Economic and Academic Gains COVER STORY Chancellor Jeffrey Vitter Steering Ole Miss to Greater Economic and Academic Gains 2 • Delta Business Journal • NOVEMBER 2018 By BECKY GILLETTE Photography by Timothy Ivy lot has happened in the almost three years since Dr. Jeffrey Vitter Atook the helm as Chancellor of the University of Mississippi. Ole Miss is the Flagship University of the state, considered the best-known college in the state with the largest enrollment, just over 23,258. With an annual budget of $2.5 billion, it is also an economic powerhouse. Recent accomplishments include: • In fiscal 2018, external research funding on the Oxford campus was up twenty-three percent, and overall at the university it was up 8.5 percent to a total of $134 million. NOVEMBER 2018 • Delta Business Journal • 3 Chancellor Vitter in his office inside of the Lyceum • Total fundraising for the Oxford commercialization continues to bear fruit. Vitter is a major proponent of the campus in 2018 was up almost 8 percent.

Mississippians through the power of education.” Under his leadership, Ole Miss has implemented the Flagship Forward strategic plan. “It is our roadmap of excellence,” Vitter says. “We have created amazing programs, and the recognition we are getting is very rewarding.” The University of Mississippi has earned the Carnegie R1 Highest Research Activity designation, held by only the top 2.5 percent of colleges and universities nationwide. Vitter said that such a designation means that the university excels in innovative research, and what is particularly exciting is when those innovations can be further developed into Celebration of Clancy Collins White’s $1.6M gift to the Ford Center in honor of her parents Mary practical technologies, treatments, or cures.

Vitter visits the Delta often, and just recently spent time at the Delta Council and the Delta Health Alliance to learn about opportunities for further collaboration. The university is closely involved with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center in Vicksburg on some applications of pioneering research done at Ole Miss. Recent lean budget times for Mississippi have resulted in cuts to higher education.

Realistic Computer Models Deepak Ajwani ⋆ and Henning Meyerhenke ⋆⋆ 5.1 Introduction Many real-world applications involve storing and processing large amounts of data. These data sets need to be either stored over the memory hierarchy of one computer or distributed and processed over many parallel computing devices or both. In fact, in many such applications, choosing a realistic computation model proves to be a critical factor in obtaining practically acceptable solutions. In this chapter, we focus on realistic computation models that capture the running time of algorithms involving large data sets on modern computers better than the traditional RAM (and its parallel counterpart PRAM) model. 5.1.1 Large Data Sets Large data sets arise naturally in many applications. We consider a few examples here.
