Implementation of the MASC Information

چکیده
In this thesis, I designed and implemented the run-time operating system (RTOS) for the MASC system. The Modular Appliance Super Computer (MASC) system proposes a novel solution to the problem of efficient information appliance (IA) design. To add functionality to a MASC IA, one simply inserts inexpensive, credit card-sized computer and peripheral cards into a standard backplane embedded in the IA. The RTOS software running on the computers, or hostcards, enables the hostcards to work together with the peripherals and the appliance to add intelligence to the overall device.

Simulation of Enhanced Meshes with MASC, a MSIMD Model
MASC (for Multiple Associative Computing) is a joint control parallel, data parallel model that provides a practical, highly scalable model that naturally supports small to massive parallelism and a wide range of applications. In this paper, we present efficient algorithms for a MASC model with a 2-D mesh to simulate enhanced meshes. Let MASC(n, j) denote a MASC model with n processing elements...
متن کاملMASC: the Manually Annotated Sub-Corpus of American English
To answer the critical need for sharable, reusable annotated resources with rich linguistic annotations, we are developing a Manually Annotated Sub-Corpus (MASC) including texts from diverse genres and manual annotations or manually-validated annotations for multiple levels, including WordNet senses and FrameNet frames and frame elements, both of which have become significant resources in the i...
متن کاملTransaction / Regular Paper Title
Memory-based computing using associative memory is a promising way to reduce the energy consumption of important classes of streaming applications by avoiding redundant computations. A set of frequent patterns that represent basic functions are pre-stored in Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) and reused. The primary limitation to using associative memory in modern parallel processors is ...

The Multiple Associative Computing (MASC) parallel model is a generalization model of an Associative Computing (ASC) parallel model designed to support multiple ASC data parallel threads by using control parallelism. The MASC model is designed to combine the advantages of both Single Instruction Stream Multiple Data Streams (SIMD) and Multiple Instruction Streams Multiple Data Streams (MIMD) mo...
متن کاملPolicy-Driven Middleware for Manageable and Adaptive Web Services Compositions
MASC (Manageable and Adaptive Service Compositions)1 is a policy-based middleware for monitoring of Web service compositions and their dynamic adaptation to various runtime changes. The monitorable requirements and the adaptation actions are specified in the WS-Policy4MASC language which extends WS-Policy by defining new types of policy assertions. In this paper, we present an overview of MASC ...
