We implement the finite-difference (FD) solver and the Hull-White (HW) tree for numerical treatment of the pricing problem under the Hull-White interest rate model. We find that the FD solver is superior to the HW tree.

This paper presents a new design methodology able to bridge the gap between an abstract specification and a heterogeneous reconfigurable architecture. The EPICURE contribution is the result of a joint study on abstraction/refinement methods and a smart reconfigurable architecture within the formal Esterel design tools suite. The original points of this work are: (i) a generic HW/SW interface mo...

In the state-of-the-art hardware/software (HW/SW) codesign of embedded systems, there lacks of sufficient support for architectural specifications across HW/SW boundaries. Such an architectural specification ought to capture both hardware and software components and their interactions, and facilitate effective design exploitation of HW/SW trade-offs and scalable HW/SW co-verification. In this p...

The effects of co-digesting sewage sludge (SS) and horse waste (HW), the composition HW, ratio HW:SS were studied using two semi-continuous digesters 9.5 L working volume. These operated in parallel with mono-digestion SS digester 1 (D1) co-digestion HW 2 (D2). In 2, there phases digestion (durations 40 43 weeks, respectively). first phase was 85% wheat straw (WS), 14% wood chips (WC), 1% manur...

Just because a method X converges faster than Y in theory, doesn’t mean that X is faster in practice, due to the strange world of modern computer architecture. Balancing mathematical and implementation issues is my goal. The problems I help solve should ideally be somehow useful to someone in an application domain. My mathematical background is reasonably good (in the sense of “oh I remember se...

The present work intends to obtain and characterize a milk by-product: the human whey (HW), in order avoid excessive disposal of (HM). characterization was performed through analyzes chemical composition fatty acids (FAs) triacylglycerol (TAG) lipid profile. results indicated that altered significantly after HW obtained, except for percentage ash carbohydrates. About FA composition, it observed...

Hardware/software (hw/sw) partitioning largely affects the system cost, performance, and power consumption. Most of the previous hw/sw partitioning approaches are focused on either optimising the hw area, or the performance. Thus, they ignore the influence of the partitioning process on the energy consumption. However, during this process the designer still has the maximum flexibility, hence, i...

In this work, we present an integrated approach to the SoC design problem based on a mixed (HW and SW) implementation of a system-level middleware specifically designed for SoCs: the Object-Oriented Communication Engine (OOCE). OOCE provides a high-level and homogeneous view of the SoC components based on the Distributed Object paradigm. The resulting communication infrastructure easies the int...
