In 1960, R.E. Kalman published his famous paper describing a recursive solution to the discretedata
linear filtering problem [Kalman60]. Since that time, due in Large part to advances in digital
computing, the
Kalman filter
has been the subject of extensive research and application,
particularly in the area of autonomous or assisted navigation. A very “friendly” introduction to the
general idea of the Kalman filter can be found in Chapter 1 of [Maybeck79], while a more complete
introductory discussion can be found in [Sorenson70], which also contains some interesting
historical narrative.
In this report
we provide an overview of several closely related methods developed during the last few yers, to smooth, denoise,
edit, compress, transmit, and animate very Large polygonal models.
This paper studies the problem of categorical data clustering,
especially for transactional data characterized by high
dimensionality and Large volume. Starting from a heuristic method
of increasing the height-to-width ratio of the cluster histogram, we
develop a novel algorithm – CLOPE, which is very fast and
scalable, while being quite effective. We demonstrate the
performance of our algorithm on two real world
C++ Template Metaprogramming sheds light on the most powerful idioms of today s C++, at long last delivering practical metaprogramming tools and techniques into the hands of the everyday programmer.
A metaprogram is a program that generates or manipulates program code. Ever since generic programming was introduced to C++, programmers have discovered myriad "template tricks" for manipulating programs as they are compiled, effectively eliminating the barrier between program and metaprogram. While excitement among C++ experts about these capabilities has reached the community at Large, their practical application remains out of reach for most programmers. This book explains what metaprogramming is and how it is best used. It provides the foundation you ll need to use the template metaprogramming effectively in your own work.
Tracking a moving object through several frames, provided changes from frame to frame are on the order of +-(10 + "X Range") pixels in the X direction and +-(10 + "Y Range") in the Y direction is done automatically because of a relatively Large area of exploration during the search for an optimal (new) position for a particular control point and a very strong force exerted by Large values of the image gradient.
The present paper deals with the problem of calculating mean delays in polling systems
with either exhaustive or gated service. We develop a mean value analysis (MVA) to
compute these delay figures. The merits of MVA are in its intrinsic simplicity and its
intuitively appealing derivation. As a consequence, MVA may be applied, both in an
exact and approximate manner, to a Large variety of models.

- Flag driver threads with PF_FREEZE to support software suspend.
2.0.11 (May 7th, 2004)
- Avoid split-completion bugs in certain PCI-X chipsets by
breaking up Large completion entry DMAs on ADB boundaries.
2.0.10 (April 9th, 2004)
- Return "command timeout" status instead of "selection timeout
status" to the SCSI mid-layer in response to selection timeouts.
While the latter may seem more correct, the mid-layer will not
offline devices suffering from persistent selection timeouts.
This leads to extremely long recovery times for devices that
go missing. Returning command timeout status causes the mid-layer
to enter recovery and eventually offline persistently missing
devices.
The Linux Enterprise Cluster explains how to take a number of inexpensive computers with limited resources, place them on a normal computer network, and install free software so that the computers act together like one powerful server. This makes it possible to build a very inexpensive and reliable business system for a small business or a Large corporation. The book includes information on how to build a high-availability server pair using the Heartbeat package, how to use the Linux Virtual Server load balancing software, how to configure a reliable printing system in a Linux cluster environment, and how to build a job scheduling system in Linux with no single point of failure.
The book also includes information on high availability techniques that can be used with or without a cluster, making it helpful for System Administrators even if they are not building a cluster. Anyone interested in deploying Linux in an environment where low cost computer reliability is important will find this book useful.
