Parallel Computing
Abstract:
In December 2006 we published a broad survey of the issues for the
whole field concerning the multicore/manycore sea change (see
view.eecs.berkeley.edu). We view the ultimate goal as being able to
productively create efficient, correct and portable software that smoothly
scales when the number of cores per chip doubles biennially. This talk
covers the specific research agenda that a large group of us at Berkeley
are going to follow (see parlab.eecs.berkeley.edu) as part of a center
funded for five years by Intel and Microsoft.
To take a fresh approach to the longstanding parallel computing
problem, our research agenda will be driven by compelling applications
developed by domain experts in personal health, image retrieval, music,
speech understanding and browsers. The development of parallel
software is divided into two layers: an efficiency layer that aims at low
overhead for 10 percent of the best programmers, and a productivity
layer for the rest of the programming community-including domain
experts-that reuses the parallel software developed at the efficiency
layer. Key to this approach is a layer of libraries and programming
frameworks centered around the 13 design patterns that we identified in
the Berkeley View report. We rely on autotuning to map the software
efficiently to a particular parallel computer. The role of the operating
systems and the architecture in this project is to support software and
applications in achieving the ultimate goal. Examples include primitives
like thin hypervisors and libraries for the operating system and hardware
support for partitioning and fast barrier synchronization. We will
prototype the hardware of the future using field programmable gate
arrays (FPGAs) on a common hardware platform being developed by a
consortium of universities and companies
(see http://ramp.eecs.berkeley.edu/ ).

Parallel Computing
From http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/gph/docs/4.06/users_guide/concurrent-and-parallel.html
import Parallel
nfib :: Int -> Int
nfib n
| n <= 1 = 1
| otherwise = par n1 (seq n2 (n1 + n2 + 1))
where
n1 = nfib (n-1)
n2 = nfib (n-2)

Parallel Computing
The same code as the GPH fibonacci in ORC.
def nfib(n) = if (n <= 1) then 1 else nfib(n-2) + n1 <n1< nfib(n-1)
From the ORC documentation: "The pruning combinator, written F <x< G, allows
us to block a computation waiting for a result, or terminate a computation. The
execution of F <x< G starts by executing F and G in parallel. Whenever F publishes
a value, that value is published by the entire execution. When G publishes its first
value, that value is bound to x in F, and then the execution of G is immediately
terminated. A terminated expression cannot call any sites or publish any values."
So the way this works is that the n-2 branch is spawned in parallel with the n-1
branch and then the result is not returned until both branches have been
processed. You can try this out on their website by entering the line above as well
as something like "nfib(5)".

Semantic Web - caBIG
Abstract:
21st century biomedical research is driven by massive amounts of data: automated technologies
generate hundreds of gigabytes of DNA sequence information, terabytes of high resolution medical
images, and massive arrays of gene expression information on thousands of genes tested in hundreds
of independent experiments. Clinical research data is no different: each clinical trial may potentially
generate hundreds of data points of thousands of patients over the course of the trial.
This influx of data has enabled a new understanding of disease on its fundamental, molecular basis.
Many diseases are now understood as complex interactions between an individual's genes,
environment and lifestyle. To harness this new understanding, research and clinical care capabilities
(traditionally undertaken as isolated functions) must be bridged to seamlessly integrate laboratory
data, biospecimens, medical images and other clinical data. This collaboration between researchers
and clinicians will create a continuum between the bench and the bedside-speeding the delivery of
new diagnostics and therapies, tailored to specific patients, ultimately improving clinical outcomes.
To realize the promises of this new paradigm of personalized medicine, healthcare and drug
discovery organizations must evolve their core processes and IT capabilities to enable broader
interoperability among data resources, tools, and infrastructure-both within and across institutions.
Answers to these challenges are enabled by the cancer Biomedical Informatics GridT (caBIGT)
initiative, overseen by the National Cancer Institute Center for Biomedical Informatics and
Information Technology (NCI-CBIIT). caBIGT is a collection of interoperable software tools,
standards, databases, and grid-enabled computing infrastructure founded on four central principles:
. Open access; anyone-with appropriate permission-may access caBIGT the tools and data
. Open development; the entire research community participates in the development, testing, and
validation of the tools
. Open source; all the tools are available for use and modification
. Federation; resources can be controlled locally, or integrated across multiple sites
caBIGT is designed to connect researchers, clinicians, and patients across the continuum of
biomedical research-allowing seamless data flow between electronic health records and data sources
including genomic, proteomic, imaging, biospecimen, pathology and clinical information, facilitating
collaboration across the entire biomedical enterprise.
caBIGT technologies are widely applicable beyond cancer and may be freely adopted, adapted or
integrated with other standards-based tools and systems. Guidelines, tools and support infrastructure
are in place to facilitate broad integration of caBIGT tools, which are currently being deployed at
more than 60 academic medical centers around the United States and are being integrated in the
Nationwide Health Information Network as well. For more information on caBIGT, visit

Good to know!
Probably in the (short?) future the standard query interface for applications will move from a standard "relational" view to
a more complex but less theoretical "semantic" view: from SQL to SPARQL, with all the RDF/RDFS/OWL metadata
of top of the raw data.
And to follow the vision of a "semantic web", the applications and the data will not be bound together as we are used now, but will both live in the Internet cloud.

Danilo.

Semantic Web Database Technologies
Primarily in New England Development Center
The vision of Tim Berners Lee, the father of the World Wide Web, is a Web that becomes
continually smarter. It begins to understand the meaning of the content inside Web pages,
both individually and in the aggregate. In essence, the Web becomes the repository and
interpreter of knowledge. The so-called semantic Web will evolve over years and decades, and
the process has just begun. Languages and technologies, such as RDF, RDFS, OWL, and
SPARQL, have been introduced to standardize the vocabulary and representation of knowledge.
The Oracle database is now imbued with the fi rst traces of this semantic Web vision. The
database can be treated as a repository of knowledge, with native support for RDF triples,
RDFS/OWL rules, user-defi ned rules, native inferencing, and querying with a SPARQL-like
language embedded within SQL. An RDF knowledge store now inherits the scalability,
robustness, and reliability of a database system. Additionally, enterprise databases will now
accept requests that rely on the interpretation of ontologies to fully understand a query.
This is just the beginning. We need to work on dynamic inferencing, security, data
provenance, analytic tools, visualization of knowledge, better performance for all features,
integration of external systems, and many more areas. By combining the power and
capabilities of the Oracle database system with the most advanced semantic tools and
technologies available elsewhere, we hope to create a system that hastens the advancement
and acceptance of the semantic Web.
For development of semantic technologies, we seek developers with familiarity in World
Wide Web technologies, as well as an understanding of description logic, inferencing, and
knowledge extraction, representation and visualization. Development takes place primarily
in the New England Development Center.
