Book A Performance Comparison of Interval Arithmetic and Error Analysis in Geometric Predicates

Download or read book A Performance Comparison of Interval Arithmetic and Error Analysis in Geometric Predicates written by Sanjit A. Seshia and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Exact arithmetic is used to build robust implementations of geometric algorithms. However, it is slow, and computing to arbitrary precision is unnecessary most of the time. Floating-point filters, which are commonly used instead, are fast self-checking computations that fall back on exact arithmetic when the check indicates that the fast calculation is incorrect. The use of interval arithmetic in floating-point filters is attractive because they can be used to build geometric software that does not assume error-free inputs. However, the use of interval arithmetic might impose a penalty on performance. In this report, we study the performance impact of using interval arithmetic based filters in the line-side and in-circle geometric predicates. We report results obtained with implementations of two commonly used geometric algorithms: Delaunay triangulation and convex hull computation, and for a range of point distributions. Our results indicate that interval arithmetic imposes a performance penalty of at most 2 in the worst case, and even improves performance in some cases."

Download or read book The End of Error written by John L. Gustafson and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Numerical Computing Written by one of the foremost experts in high-performance computing and the inventor of Gustafson’s Law, The End of Error: Unum Computing explains a new approach to computer arithmetic: the universal number (unum). The unum encompasses all IEEE floating-point formats as well as fixed-point and exact integer arithmetic. This new number type obtains more accurate answers than floating-point arithmetic yet uses fewer bits in many cases, saving memory, bandwidth, energy, and power. A Complete Revamp of Computer Arithmetic from the Ground Up Richly illustrated in color, this groundbreaking book represents a fundamental change in how to perform calculations automatically. It illustrates how this novel approach can solve problems that have vexed engineers and scientists for decades, including problems that have been historically limited to serial processing. Suitable for Anyone Using Computers for Calculations The book is accessible to anyone who uses computers for technical calculations, with much of the book only requiring high school math. The author makes the mathematics interesting through numerous analogies. He clearly defines jargon and uses color-coded boxes for mathematical formulas, computer code, important descriptions, and exercises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to computational complexity theory, its connections and interactions with mathematics, and its central role in the natural and social sciences, technology, and philosophy Mathematics and Computation provides a broad, conceptual overview of computational complexity theory—the mathematical study of efficient computation. With important practical applications to computer science and industry, computational complexity theory has evolved into a highly interdisciplinary field, with strong links to most mathematical areas and to a growing number of scientific endeavors. Avi Wigderson takes a sweeping survey of complexity theory, emphasizing the field’s insights and challenges. He explains the ideas and motivations leading to key models, notions, and results. In particular, he looks at algorithms and complexity, computations and proofs, randomness and interaction, quantum and arithmetic computation, and cryptography and learning, all as parts of a cohesive whole with numerous cross-influences. Wigderson illustrates the immense breadth of the field, its beauty and richness, and its diverse and growing interactions with other areas of mathematics. He ends with a comprehensive look at the theory of computation, its methodology and aspirations, and the unique and fundamental ways in which it has shaped and will further shape science, technology, and society. For further reading, an extensive bibliography is provided for all topics covered. Mathematics and Computation is useful for undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, computer science, and related fields, as well as researchers and teachers in these fields. Many parts require little background, and serve as an invitation to newcomers seeking an introduction to the theory of computation. Comprehensive coverage of computational complexity theory, and beyond High-level, intuitive exposition, which brings conceptual clarity to this central and dynamic scientific discipline Historical accounts of the evolution and motivations of central concepts and models A broad view of the theory of computation's influence on science, technology, and society Extensive bibliography

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the reviews: "This book offers a coherent treatment, at the graduate textbook level, of the field that has come to be known in the last decade or so as computational geometry. ... ... The book is well organized and lucidly written; a timely contribution by two founders of the field. It clearly demonstrates that computational geometry in the plane is now a fairly well-understood branch of computer science and mathematics. It also points the way to the solution of the more challenging problems in dimensions higher than two." #Mathematical Reviews#1 "... This remarkable book is a comprehensive and systematic study on research results obtained especially in the last ten years. The very clear presentation concentrates on basic ideas, fundamental combinatorial structures, and crucial algorithmic techniques. The plenty of results is clever organized following these guidelines and within the framework of some detailed case studies. A large number of figures and examples also aid the understanding of the material. Therefore, it can be highly recommended as an early graduate text but it should prove also to be essential to researchers and professionals in applied fields of computer-aided design, computer graphics, and robotics." #Biometrical Journal#2

Book Computational Error and Complexity in Science and Engineering

Download or read book Computational Error and Complexity in Science and Engineering written by Vangipuram Lakshmikantham and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-03-04 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book “Computational Error and Complexity in Science and Engineering pervades all the science and engineering disciplines where computation occurs. Scientific and engineering computation happens to be the interface between the mathematical model/problem and the real world application. One needs to obtain good quality numerical values for any real-world implementation. Just mathematical quantities symbols are of no use to engineers/technologists. Computational complexity of the numerical method to solve the mathematical model, also computed along with the solution, on the other hand, will tell us how much computation/computational effort has been spent to achieve that quality of result. Anyone who wants the specified physical problem to be solved has every right to know the quality of the solution as well as the resources spent for the solution. The computed error as well as the complexity provide the scientific convincing answer to these questions. Specifically some of the disciplines in which the book will be readily useful are (i) Computational Mathematics, (ii) Applied Mathematics/Computational Engineering, Numerical and Computational Physics, Simulation and Modelling. Operations Research (both deterministic and stochastic), Computing Methodologies, Computer Applications, and Numerical Methods in Engineering.Key Features:- Describes precisely ready-to-use computational error and complexity- Includes simple easy-to-grasp examples wherever necessary.- Presents error and complexity in error-free, parallel, and probabilistic methods.- Discusses deterministic and probabilistic methods with error and complexity. - Points out the scope and limitation of mathematical error-bounds.- Provides a comprehensive up-to-date bibliography after each chapter. · Describes precisely ready-to-use computational error and complexity· Includes simple easy-to-grasp examples wherever necessary.· Presents error and complexity in error-free, parallel, and probabilistic methods.· Discusses deterministic and probabilistic methods with error and complexity. · Points out the scope and limitation of mathematical error-bounds.· Provides a comprehensive up-to-date bibliography after each chapter.
