Calculating Optimal Flit Size and Upper Limit on the Performance of Wormhole Routing

The emergence of large scale distributed memory computers has brought with it a variety of interconnection networks. As it is not feasible to fully interconnect the processors with a diameter of one, routing of messages is necessary. Wormhole routing is an efficient method of routing and in this paper, we derive a model for wormhole routing. Using this model, we determine the optimal buffer siz...

Calculating optimal trajectories from contact transitions

The learning-from-demonstration method is focused on for a novel robot-programming style. It consists of two parts: to recognize human performance from observation as sequential motion primitives and to execute the same performance. We already proposed a method to recognize assembly tasks. However, execution requires the ability to convert motion primitives to collision free paths. In this pape...

Optimal Multigrid Algorithms for Calculating Thermodynamic Limits

Beyond eliminating the critical slowing down, multigrid algorithms can also eliminate the need to produce many independent fine-grid configurations for averaging out their statistical deviations, by averaging over the many samples produced in coarse grids during the multigrid cycle. Thermodynamic limits can be calculated to accuracy (; in just 0((;-2) computer operations. Examples described in ...
