Boundary-Scan testing is used more and more to overcome many of the testability issues facing today’s higher density designs. In the past, Boundary-Scan has been used successfully with ATE’s and external PC based test systems. Since Boundary-Scan tests are structural in nature, they can be reused with often minor modifications in the embedded arena. Further, these same tests can be used in the ...

Tiled architectures have emerged as a solution to translate an increasing number of transistors into single application performance while keeping programming complexity under control through automatic parallelization. Tiled architectures primarily consist of an array of execution cores, interconnect networks and a memory system. Each sub-component of the tiled architecture contributes towards t...

Solutions to the problem of deriving business processes from goals are critical in addressing a variety of challenges facing the services and business process management community, and in particular, the challenge of quickly generating large numbers of effective process designs (often a bottleneck in industryscale deployment of BPM). The problem is similar to the planning problem that has been ...

Computational fluid dynamic simulations are in general very compute intensive. Only by parallel simulations on modern supercomputers the computational demands of complex simulation tasks can be satisfied. Facing these computational demands GPUs offer high performance, as they provide the high floating point performance and memory to processor chip bandwidth. To successfully utilize GPU clusters...

There is a renewed interest for Quantitative genetics since the genomic revolution. Quantitative or complex traits are those controlled by multiple genes so that the inheritance of such complex traits is non-Mendelian, although each individual gene shows Mendelian inheritance. With the advent of genomic tools, for example Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and deep NGS sequencing of RNA transcrip...
