Parallel functional programs based on the graph reduction execution model display considerable locality of reference, favouring the use of large cache lines in the implementation of the shared heap on a shared-memory multiprocessor. They also display a very high rate of synchronisation, making conventional weakly-consistent coherency protocols ineeective at avoiding unnecessary contention for w...

A simple model for the interfacial free energy of a semicoherent interface is used to develop expressions for interface stresses, which are surface thermodynamic quantities associated with solid–solid interfaces. An analysis of the thermodynamics of thin film epitaxy is presented that incorporates the effects of free surface and interface stresses, and an expression for the critical thickness f...

of the Thesis DCT Based SPIHT Architecture for Hyperspectral Image Data Compression by Jieming Xu Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering Northeastern University, August 2016 Prof. Vinay K. Ingle, Adviser The wavelet transformation is leading and widely used technology in transform coding. Many coding algorithms are designed for this transformation based on its unique structure...

Interest on using mobile autonomous agents has been growing, recently, due to their capacity to cooperate for diverse purposes, from rescue to demining and security. However, such cooperation requires the exchange of state data that is time sensitive and thus, applications should be aware of data temporal coherency. In this paper we describe the architecture of the agents that constitute the CA...

We propose a fault-tolerant routing with its extensions based on limited global information in dual-cube networks. It is based on an early work of Wu’s safety level and safety vector in cube networks. An r-connected dual-cube network consists of 2rþ1 connected r-cubes (also called clusters). Both faulty nodes and faulty links are considered here. First, a depth-first search routing (DSBR) based...

A Fourier series non-stationary coherency model with respect to the site conditions for horizontal component was developed. The evolution of achieved using parameters related site, inter-station distance, and time. First, based on simulation a ground-motion field considering wave-passage effect site-response effect, approach used estimation wavelet transform is presented. Subsequently, formulat...
