Previous research has indicated that groups can benefit from the combination of face-to-face and asynchronous computer-mediated communication for conducting work. This exploratory experiment compares the effectiveness of four di~erent modes of communication for groups working on the upstream phases of sofhare development: (I) face-to-face (2) synchronous computer conferencing (3) asynchronous c...

Within the field of second language acquisition, pronunciation has received relatively little attention. This lack research can also be seen in general systematic pedagogical materials for training, effectively reinforcing “marginalized” nature classroom (Lee, Plonsky & Saito, 2019). Accordingly, current study investigated use synchronous/asynchronous computer-mediated communication as a method...

While ultra-deep-submicron design presents increasingly difficult challenges for standard synchronous design practices, recent research in asynchronous design techniques is making asynchronous circuits an increasingly practical alternative. These challenges include the increasing pressure for low-power, the growing challenge of predicting increasing impact of wire load and delay, and the perfor...

As transient error rates are growing due to smaller feature sizes, designing reliable synchronous circuits becomes increasingly challenging. Asynchronous logic design constitutes a promising alternative with respect to robustness and stability. In particular, delay-insensitive asynchronous circuits provide interesting properties, like an inherent resilience to delay-faults. This paper presents ...

Parallel asynchronous iterative algorithms exhibit features that are extremely well-suited for Grid computing, such as lack of synchronization points. Unfortunately, they also suffer from slow convergence rates. In this paper we propose using asynchronous methods as a coarse-grained preconditioner in a flexible iterative method, where the preconditioner is allowed to change in each iteration st...

Parallel asynchronous iterative algorithms exhibit features that are extremely well–suited for Grid computing, such as lack of synchronisation points. Unfortunately, they also suffer from slow convergence rates.

In this paper we discuss the suitability of standard discrete-time control models for the analysis and design of control loops implemented over Networked Control Systems. In fact, depending on the specific control loop topology, different control approaches may apply. We distinguish between control approaches that offer synchronous and asynchronous actuation. Through simulation results we show ...

This paper presents asynchronous switch between any two different local clock synchronous domains. The asynchronous switch will generate a slower clock from two local clock modules and moderate the high rated clock domain to slow down its clock frequency without stopping or pausing any clock of them throughout the data communication among them. The proposed design is implemented using the CMOS ...
