WIREFRAME: Supporting Data-dependent Parallelism through Dependency Graph Execution in GPUs. MICRO '17 AmirAli Abdolrashidi,Devashree Tripathy,Mehmet Esat Belviranli, Laxmi Narayan Bhuyan, and Daniel Wong The 50th International Symposium on Microarchitecture (MICRO), 2017. (acceptance rate: 18.6%) Abstract Bib PDF Slides GPUs lack fundamental support for data-dependent parallelism and synchronization. While CUDA Dynamic Parallelism signals progress in this direction, many limitations and challenges still remain. This paper introduces WIREFRAME, a hardware-software solution that enables generalized support for data-dependent parallelism and synchronization. Wireframe enables applications to naturally express execution dependencies across different thread blocks through a dependency graph abstraction at run-time, which is sent to the GPU hardware at kernel launch. At run-time, the hardware enforces the dependencies specified in the dependency graph through a dependency-aware thread block scheduler. Overall, Wireframe is able to improve total execution time up to 65.20% with an average of 45.07%. @inproceedings{abdolrashidi2017wireframe, title={Wireframe: supporting data-dependent parallelism through dependency graph execution in GPUs}, author={Abdolrashidi, Amir Ali and Tripathy, Devashree and Belviranli, Mehmet Esat and Bhuyan, Laxmi Narayan and Wong, Daniel}, booktitle={Proceedings of the 50th Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Microarchitecture}, pages={600--611}, year={2017}, organization={ACM} }

Design and Implementation of Brain Computer Interface Based Robot Motion Control FICTA '14 Devashree Tripathy, and Jagdish Lal Raheja Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Frontiers of Intelligent Computing: Theory and Applications (FICTA) 2014. Abstract Bib PDF Slides In this paper, a Brain Computer Interactive (BCI) robot motion control system for patients’ assistance is designed and implemented. The proposed system acquires data from the patient’s brain through a group of sensors using Emotiv Epoc neuroheadset. The acquired signal is processed. From the processed data the BCI system determines the patient’s requirements and accordingly issues commands (output signals). The processed data is translated into action using the robot as per the patient’s requirement. A Graphics user interface (GUI) is developed by us for the purpose of controlling the motion of the Robot. Our proposed system is quite helpful for persons with severe disabilities and is designed to help persons suffering from spinal cord injuries/ paralytic attacks. It is also helpful to all those who can’t move physically and find difficulties in expressing their needs verbally. @Inbook{Tripathy2015, author="Tripathy, Devashree and Raheja, Jagdish Lal", editor="Satapathy, Suresh Chandra and Biswal, Bhabendra Narayan and Udgata, Siba K. and Mandal, J.

J5	An improved load‑balancing mechanism based on deadline failure recovery on GridSim Improved Survey Grid Deepak Kumar Patel, Devashree Tripathy, and C.R Tripathy Engineering with Computers April 2016, Volume 32, Issue 2, pp 173–188. Abstract Bib PDF Grid computing has emerged a new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing. It focuses on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications and in some cases, high performance orientation. The Grid serves as a comprehensive and complete system for organizations by which the maximum utilization of resources is achieved. The load balancing is a process which involves the resource management and an effective load distribution among the resources. Therefore, it is considered to be very important in Grid systems. For a Grid, a dynamic, distributed load balancing scheme provides deadline control for tasks. Due to the condition of deadline failure, developing, deploying, and executing long running applications over the grid remains a challenge. So, deadline failure recovery is an essential factor for Grid computing. In this paper, we propose a dynamic distributed load-balancing technique called “Enhanced GridSim with Load balancing based on Deadline Failure Recovery” (EGDFR) for computational Grids with heterogeneous resources. The proposed algorithm EGDFR is an improved version of the existing EGDC in which we perform load balancing by providing a scheduling system which includes the mechanism of recovery from deadline failure of the Gridlets. Extensive simulation experiments are conducted to quantify the performance of the proposed load-balancing strategy on the GridSim platform. Experiments have shown that the proposed system can considerably improve Grid performance in terms of total execution time, percentage gain in execution time, average response time, resubmitted time and throughput. The proposed load-balancing technique gives 7 % better performance than EGDC in case of constant number of resources, whereas in case of constant number of Gridlets, it gives 11 % better performance than EGDC. @Article{Patel2016, author="Patel, Deepak Kumar and Tripathy, Devashree and Tripathy, Chitaranjan", title="An improved load-balancing mechanism based on deadline failure recovery on GridSim", journal="Engineering with Computers", year="2016", month="Apr", day="01", volume="32", number="2", pages="173--188", abstract="Grid computing has emerged a new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing.

J4	Survey of load balancing techniques for Grid Survey Grid Deepak Kumar Patel, Devashree Tripathy, and C.R Tripathy Journal of Network and Computer Applications Volume 65, April 2016, Pages 103-119. Abstract Bib PDF In recent days, due to the rapid technological advancements, the Grid computing has become an important area of research. Grid computing has emerged a new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing. It focuses on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications and in some cases, high-performance orientation. A Grid is a network of computational resources that may potentially span many continents. The Grid serves as a comprehensive and complete system for organizations by which the maximum utilization of resources is achieved. The load balancing is a process which involves the resource management and an effective load distribution among the resources. Therefore, it is considered to be very important in Grid systems. The proposed work presents an extensive survey of the existing load balancing techniques proposed so far. These techniques are applicable for various systems depending upon the needs of the computational Grid, the type of environment, resources, virtual organizations and job profile it is supposed to work with. Each of these models has its own merits and demerits which forms the subject matter of this survey. A detailed classification of various load balancing techniques based on different parameters has also been included in the survey. @article{PATEL2016103, title = "Survey of load balancing techniques for Grid", journal = "Journal of Network and Computer Applications", volume = "65", number = "", pages = "103 - 119", year = "2016", note = "", issn = "1084-8045", doi = "http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jnca.2016.02.012", url = "http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1084804516000953", author = "Deepak Kumar Patel and Devashree Tripathy and C.R.

Abstract Bib PDF Interconnection networks are used to provide communication between processors and memory modules in a parallel computing environment. In the past years, various interconnection networks have been proposed by many researchers. An interconnection network may suffer from mainly two types of faults: link faults and/or switch fault. Many fault tolerant techniques have also been proposed in the literature.

Abstract Bib PDF Recently, the Cube based networks have emerged as attractive interconnection structures in parallel computing systems. In this paper we propose a new interconnection network called crossed cube-mesh which is a product graph of crossed cube and mesh topology. The various topological properties of the new network are derived. The embedding properties, fault-tolerance, node disjoint paths, routing, cost and other performance aspects of the new network are discussed in detail. Based on the comparison, the proposed topologyis proved to be an attractive alternative to the existing Hyper-mesh topology. @inproceedings{Das2014TheCC, title={The Crossed cube-Mesh: A New Fault-Tolerant Interconnection Network Topology for Parallel Systems}, author={Bhaskar Jyoti Das and Devashree Tripathy and Bibek Mishra}, year={2014} }

Abstract Bib PDF The interconnection topology plays a vital role in parallel computing systems. In this paper a new interconnection network topology named as Star-mobius cube (SMQ) is introduced. The various topological and performance parameters such as diameter, cost, average distance, and message traffic density are discussed.
