Recent technological advances have significantly improved the capabilities of micro-air vehicles (MAV). This is evidenced by their expanding use by government, police, and military forces. AMAV can provide a real-time surveillance capability to even the smallest units, which provides commanders with a significant advantage. This capability is a result of the availability of miniaturized autopil...

Distributed, physics-based hydrologic models require spatially explicit specification of parameters related to climate, geology, land-cover, soil, and topography. Extracting these parameters from national geodatabases requires intensive data processing. Furthermore, mapping these parameters to model mesh elements necessitates development of data access tools that can handle both spatial and tem...

Although various strategies have been developed for scheduling parallel applications with independent tasks, very little work exists for scheduling tightly coupled parallel applications on cluster environments. In this paper, we compare four different strategies based on performance models of tightly coupled parallel applications for scheduling the applications on clusters. In addition to algor...

One of the most important role in many core system is played by Network on Chip (NoC). Researchers are recently focusing on the design and optimization of NoC. In this paper we describe the architecture of a tightly coupled NoC router. To improve the network performance the router uses the on-chip storage and to improve the use of on-chip resource and information, several optimizations are intr...

In this paper, the tightly coupled INS/GPS integration system using an INS error predictor is proposed for improving the filter estimation performance when fewer than four satellites are tracked. The suggested error predictor stores the estimated position error in case of tracking above four satellites and calculates the initial error components for prediction of Schuler position error when few...

The demand for processing power is increasing steadily. In the past, single processor architectures clearly dominated the markets. As instruction level parallelism is limited in most applications, significant performance can only be achieved in the future by exploiting parallelism at the higher levels of thread or process parallelism. As a consequence, modern “processors” incorporate multiple p...
