We propose in this paper a processor architecture that supports multi instructions set through run time functional assignment algorithm (RUNFA). The above processor, which is named Functional Assignment Register Microprocessor (FaRM-rq) supports queue and register based instruction set architecture and functions into different modes: (1) R-mode (FRM) when switched for register based instruction...

The benefits of anaerobic digestion (AD) of dairy manure vary from economic (reduced power costs/income from excess electricity/heat), to environmental (reduced greenhouse gas emissions, better control over field application of digestate) to social (through reduced odor during storage and application). However to realize these benefits economically, is the true challenge of AD, and a part of th...

We discuss the BABAR experiment software and computing infrastructure used for event logging and distribution to prompt reconstruction system. The raw data for typical BABAR events is about 30-50 kB per event. During the data taking a 100 Hz stream of events is collected from a farm of 32 online computers amounting to about 3-5 MB/s. A robust and efficient multi-threaded, TCP/IP based logging m...

Many farmers in the developing world have limited access to agricultural technologies and markets. Mobile phone-enabled services that offer price information and market linkages could contribute towards bridging this gap by reducing uncertainty about expected profits, information asymmetries and market inefficiencies. This article uses the example of the price information and marketing service ...

In the scenario of energy and environmental crises that we are facing today, integrating renewable sources of energy with the existing power grids is rapidly becoming the most obvious solution. Harnessing electricity from wind is a promising option that has lately attracted attention and research funding worldwide. However, increasing wind power penetration still remains a daunting problem star...
