Cobotic workstations in industrial plants involve a new kind of collaborative robots that can interact with operators. These cobots enable more flexibility and they reduce the cycle time floor space workstation. However, also introduce safety concerns regard to operators, may have an impact on workstation ergonomics. For those reasons, introducing always require additional studies ergonomics be...

ÐDistributed applications executing on clustered environments typically share resources (computers and network links) with other applications. In such systems, application execution may be retarded by the competition for these shared resources. In this paper, we define a model that calculates the slowdown imposed on applications in time-shared multi-user clusters. Our model focuses on three kin...

Full-system simulation of systems comprising hundreds of microcontrollers, at the level of instruction execution, along with simulation of their peripherals, inter-device communication, power consumption and the like, can be tasking even on high-end workstations. To enable the partitioning of these simulations, which have a high degree of coarse-grained parallelism, over a network of workstatio...

Abstract Construction of the 4+ generation Siberian circular photon source (SKIF synchrotron) has started in Novosibirsk. It will initially be equipped with six research workstations. For two stations, synchrotron radiation is generated by superconducting wigglers, whose power approaches 49 kW, and density on axis 92 kW/mrad 2 . Most optical devices stations operate a vacuum. The high energy be...
