    • The Graphical Typewriter: A Versatile Remote Console Idea 

      Minsky, Marvin (1964-01-01)
      It would be useful to develop a combination typewriter-plotter along the lines described below. The device could be coupled to a telephone line with a reasonably small amount of electronics -- mostly relays.

    • Graphite: A Distributed Parallel Simulator for Multicores 

      Beckmann, Nathan; Eastep, Jonathan; Gruenwald, Charles, III; Kurian, George; Kasture, Harshad; e.a. (2009-11-09)
      This paper introduces the open-source Graphite distributed parallel multicore simulator infrastructure. Graphite is designed from the ground up for exploration of future multicore processors containing dozens, hundreds, ...

    • The Grasping Problem: Toward Task-Level Programming for an Articulated Hand 

      Pollard, Nancy S. (1990-05-01)
      This report presents a system for generating a stable, feasible, and reachable grasp of a polyhedral object. A set of contact points on the object is found that can result in a stable grasp; a feasible grasp is found ...

    • Green Theorems and Qualitative Properties of the Optical Flow 

      Poggio, Tomaso; Verri, Allessandro; Torre, Vincent (1991-04-01)
      How can one compute qualitative properties of the optical flow, such as expansion or rotation, in a way which is robust and invariant to the position of the focus of expansion or the center of rotation? We suggest a ...

    • The Greenblatt Chess Program 

      Greenblatt, Richard D.; Eastlake, Donald E., III; Crocker, Stephen D. (1969-04-01)
      Since mid-November 1966 a chess program has been under development at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of Project MAC at M.I.T. This paper describes the state of the program as of August 1967 and gives some of the ...

    • Grey Scale Display Slave 

      Beeler, Michael (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-05)
      The programs SNAP and ZSLAVE are components of a new grey scale display system. The object is to produce photographs, from a computer display, which have grey scale resolution comparable to that of a the visual input devices ...

    • GROK Doc: An Image Display Tool 

      Little, Jim (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1986-04-14)
      The image display tool GROK provides a facility for displaying images on the black-and-white screen of a Symbolics 3600 monitor. It allows display of images and their manipulation through a special window it manages. Images ...

    • Group Communication Specifications: A Comprehensive Study 

      Vitenberg, Roman; Keidar, Idit; Chockler, Gregory V.; Dolev, Danny (1999-09)
      View-oriented group communication is an important and widely used building block for many distributed applications. Much current research has been dedicated to specifying the semantics and services of view-oriented Group ...

    • Grouping For Recognition 

      Jacobs, David W. (1989-11-01)
      This paper presents a new method of grouping edges in order to recognize objects. This grouping method succeeds on images of both two- and three- dimensional objects. So that the recognition system can consider first ...

    • The GSL Cookbook 

      Braunegg, David J. (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1989-03)
      This cookbook contains recipes prepared for the GSL (Graduate Student Lunch) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

    • GT40 Utility Pograms and the LISP Display Slave 

      Beeler, Michael; Cohen, Joseph D.; White, John L. (MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, 1974-01)
      This memo describes two GT40 programs: URUG, an octal micro-debugger: and VT07, a Datapoint simulator and general display package. There is also a description of the MITAI LISP display slave, and how it uses VT07 as a ...

    • Guaranteed in-order packet delivery using Exclusive Dynamic Virtual Channel Allocation 

      Devadas, Srinivas; Cho, Myong Hyon; Shim, Keun Sup; Lis, Mieszko (2009-08-18)
      In-order packet delivery, a critical abstraction for many higher-level protocols, can severely limit the performance potential in low-latency networks (common, for example, in network-on-chip designs with many cores). While ...

    • Guaranteeds Partial Key-escrow 

      Micali, Silvio (1995-08)

    • Guaranteeing Spoof-Resilient Multi-Robot Networks 

      Gil, Stephanie; Kumar, Swarun; Mazumder, Mark; Katabi, Dina; Rus, Daniela (July 2015)
      Multi-robot networks use wireless communication to provide wide-ranging services such as aerial surveillance and unmanned delivery. However, effective coordination between multiple robots requires trust, making them ...

    • Guardian Angel: Patient-Centered Health Information Systems
