Cataloging 19th Century Periodical Images

This project created a database of images in nineteenth-century Scientific American issues, including relevant information as well as categorizing by subject matter. Sponsored by the American Antiquarian Society, the project developed an online electronic database using MySQL. In addition, the entries created by the previous team were edited, and volumes 10-12 were added to the database

Fine-Grain Parallelism

Computer hardware is at the beginning of the multi-core revolution. While hardware at the commodity level is capable of running concurrent software, most software does not take advantage of this fact because parallel software development is difficult. This project addressed potential remedies to these difficulties by investigating graphical programming and fine-grain parallelism. A prototype system taking advantage of both of these concepts was implemented and evaluated in terms of real-world applications
