Graph Locality Prefetcher for Graph Database
(University of Waterloo, 2015-04-30)This work presents a hardware prefetcher to improve the performance of accessing graph data representing large and complex networks. We represent complex networks as graphs, and queries amount to traversals on the graph. ... -
Graph Morphing via Orthogonal Box Drawings
(University of Waterloo, 2023-12-18)Abstract: A graph is a set of vertices, with some pairwise connections given by a set of edges. A graph drawing, such as a node-link diagram, visualizes a graph with geometric features. One of the most common forms of a ... -
Graph-Based Fracture Models for Rigid Body Explosions
(University of Waterloo, 2005)Explosions are one of the most powerful and devastating natural phenomena. The pressure front from the blast wave of an explosion can cause fracture of objects in its vicinity and create flying debris. In this thesis, ... -
Graph-Based Mapping for Knowledge Transfer in General Game Playing
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-17)General game playing (GGP) is a field of reinforcement learning (RL) in which the rules of a game (i.e. the state and dynamics of an RL domain) are not specified until runtime. A GGP agent must therefore be able to play ... -
Graph-Based Model For Distribution Systems: Application To Planning Problem
(University of Waterloo, 2015-02-18)Distribution system engineers analyze distribution systems and operate them to minimize the costs of delivery of power while satisfying customers and imposed constraints such as voltage limits, congestion, system losses, ... -
Graph-Based Power Flow Solution Methods for Electric Power Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-26)For over half a century, Power Flow (PF) and its optimized version, Optimal Power Flow (OPF), has become one of the most important and widely used tools in power system planning, operational planning, and operation/control. ... -
Graph-Based Spatial-Temporal Cluster Evolution: Representation, Analysis, and Implementation
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-28)Spatial-temporal data are information about real-world entities that exist in a location, the spatial dimension, and during a period of time, the temporal dimension. These real-world entities, such as vehicles, people, or ... -
Graph-theoretic Properties of Control Flow Graphs and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2015-08-25)This thesis deals with determining appropriate width parameters of control flow graphs so that certain computationally hard problems of practical interest become efficiently solvable. A well-known result of Thorup states ... -
Graph-theoretic Sensitivity Analysis of Dynamic Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-09)The main focus of this research is to use graph-theoretic formulations to develop an automated algorithm for the generation of sensitivity equations. The idea is to combine the benefits of direct differentiation with that ... -
Graph-Theoretic Techniques for Optimizing NISQ Algorithms
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-15)Entering the NISQ era, the search for useful yet simple quantum algorithms is perhaps of more importance now than it may ever be in the future. In place of quantum walks, the quantum Fourier transform, and asymptotic results ... -
A Graph-Transformation Modelling Framework for Supervisory Control
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-10)Formal design methodologies have the potential to accelerate the development and increase the reliability of supervisory controllers designed within industry. One promising design framework which has been shown to do so ... -
Grapheme-Colour Synaesthesia Influences Overt Visual Attention
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-17)Synaesthesia is a fascinating condition in which ordinary stimuli elicit extraordinary sensory experiences. For example, specific tastes may elicit unusual tactile sensations and standard black letters may elicit highly ... -
