A clockwork WIMP

A Clockwork RNN

Sequence prediction and classification are ubiquitous and challenging problems in machine learning that can require identifying complex dependencies between temporally distant inputs. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have the ability, in theory, to cope with these temporal dependencies by virtue of the short-term memory implemented by their recurrent (feedback) connections. However, in practice...

A Cyanobacterial Circadian Clockwork

Cyanobacteria have become a major model system for analyzing circadian rhythms. The temporal program in this organism enhances fitness in rhythmic environments and is truly global--essentially all genes are regulated by the circadian system. The topology of the chromosome also oscillates and possibly regulates the rhythm of gene expression. The underlying circadian mechanism appears to consist ...

A Clockwork Explosion!

Laboratory of Developmental Chronobiology spora, posttranscriptional mechanisms (e.g., nuclear Pediatric Service entry, phosphorylation, and proteolysis) appear to conMassachusetts General Hospital tribute to the appropriate time delays in the molecular and Harvard Medical School oscillations necessary to generate a 24 hr clock (see Boston, Massachusetts 02114 references in Price et al., 1998)....

ClockWork: a Real-Time Feasibility Analysis Tool

ClockWork shows that we can improve the flexibility and efficiency of real-time kernels. We do this by proposing methods for scheduling based on so-called Real-Time Transactions. ClockWork uses Real-Time Transactions which allow scheduling decisions to be taken by the system. A programmer does not need to be aware of synchronisation due to the sharing of resources and may have the illusion of a...
