This paper provides methods and experimental results for recursively estimating the sprung mass of a vehicle driving on rough terrain. It presents a base-excitation model of vertical ride dynamics which treats the unsprung vertical accelerations, instead of the terrain profile, as the ride dynamics model input. It employs recently developed methods based on polynomial chaos theory and on the ma...

Networks of workstations are commonly used alternatives to dedicated parallel machines, however one of their major drawbacks is the limitation on the communication bandwidth. In this paper, we use parallel network based techniques to optimize the available band-width. In real life, the data arrival and service rates are stochastic (dynamic) processes. Predictive filtering is a commonly used tec...

Advances in wireless technology and the growing popularity of multimedia applications have brought about a need for energy efficient and cost effective portable supercomputers capable of delivering performance beyond the capabilities of current microprocessors and DSP chips. The SIMPil architecture currently being developed at Georgia Institute of Technology is a promising candidate for this ta...
