Programs et al.

Information-theoretic author order:

The only article I know of to ever be not accepted to the IEEE Information Theory Society newsletter.

EC330: (solutions to homework problems I have assigned)

1. Tic Tac Toe: try to beat the computer on a 10x10 grid
2. Sudoku Solver: solves generalized Sudoku puzzles (as specified by the user).

Ban Solanum Lycopersicum:

a petition to ban this common restaurant product from the US food supply, as it can lead to hallucinations, coma, circulatory collapse, respiratory failure, and even death.

Reconciliation:

source code for our practical reconciliation engine. See also related pages for our memopad and string synchronizers, and our developing GenSync project.

Calculate code parameters (v2):

a web interface for calculating various parameters of error-correcting codes and computing lexicographic extensions. also available as an i686 or Sparc executables.

Car parking:

the winning implementations for a car parking problem I assigned in my SC504 class.

8D tilings:

Search for full-rank 8D tilings ( i686 executible is also available).

Bipartite graph GUI:

a Java command-based graphical user interface for drawing bipartite graphs

J-machine simulator:

SGI executable code for a three-dimensional simulator of J-machine packet routing (screenshot)

Code visualizer:

openGL-based 3D visualizer for algebraic codes (SGI executable -- screenshot)

Informalities...

• What's with the strange background?
• If you look carefully, you will see that the background is actually a modified version of the picture on the left. This picture represents a two-dimensional projection of the A set of a ten-dimensional full-rank tiling of binary space; interestingly enough, there are no such tilings in any smaller dimension (see the SIDMA article, or my earlier work), which makes ten strangely important for this field.
• See if you can get by my spam filter ...
