In this paper, we describe an automatic synthesis procedure that translates synchronous programs to software pipelines, i.e. to multithreaded software systems whose sequential threads form single stages of a pipeline which are connected by FIFO buffers. The single-loop form that is required for pipelining is thereby already given by a pre-processing step that translates the synchronous programs...

BACKGROUND Racial and ethnic minorities are underrepresented in the health professions. Affirmative action and educational pipeline programs play a vital role in increasing the diversity of health professions, addressing educational opportunity gaps, and reducing health disparities. Part 1 of this 2-part series discusses the need for educational pipeline programs to assist underrepresented mino...

The micro-threaded microprocessor is a chip multi-processor, which uses a multi-threaded approach, where the threads are obtained from within a single context and exploit both vector and instruction level parallelism (ILP). This approach employs vertical and horizontal transfer in a simple pipeline. The horizontal transfer is referred to as the normal scalar pipeline processing used in most mic...

In this study, the hydrodynamic forces acting on the seabed around the pipeline in unidirectional ocean currents have been investigated numerically. Two types of seabed are considered, i.e., plane and distorted seabed. The influences of gap between pipeline and seabed on the distribution of forces along the seabed are studied in detail. Computational results show that the pressure at the upstre...

We propose a pipeline for text extraction from infographics that makes use of a novel combination of data mining and computer vision techniques. The pipeline defines a sequence of steps to identify characters, cluster them into text lines, determine their rotation angle, and apply state-of-the-art OCR to recognize the text. In this paper, we formally define the pipeline and present its current ...

Hydrogen pipeline systems offer an economical means of storing and transporting energy in the form of hydrogen gas. Pipelines can be used to transport hydrogen that has been generated at solar and wind farms to and from salt cavern storage locations. In addition, pipeline transportation systems will be essential before widespread hydrogen fuel cell vehicle technology becomes a reality. Since hy...

Since the 2012 Pipeline Report, results from phase II trials and advances in preclinical development have brought the pipeline for new TB vaccines into sharper focus, even as correlates of protective immunity against TB remain elusive. Nearly empty in 2000, the current pipeline includes 14 vaccine candidates in clinical trials and over 35 candidates in discovery or preclinical development. Comp...

In this paper, design of low power, 9-bit pipeline ADC architecture is introduced .A pipeline ADC architecture has a 3-stage pipeline ADC with 3-bit flash ADC followed by a 3-bit DAC at each stage. A novel approach to design a 3-bit ADC is implemented; this design offers less number of comparator and low power consumption with less circuit complexity based on this idea a 9-bit ADC is simulated ...

In order to solve the selection of the optimal wavelet basis for the gas pipeline leak monitoring, the feature of wavelet basis especially for gas pipeline leak monitoring and positioning has been summarized based on the analyze of wavelet basis parameters characteristic and gas pipeline leak negative pressure wave signal feature. A parameter which named reconstruction and mutation joint factor...

We present Sprite, a bioinformatic data analysis pipeline for detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human genome. A SNP detection pipeline for next-generation sequencing data uses several software tools, including tools for read preprocessing, read alignment, and SNP calling. We target end-to-end scalability and I/O efficiency in Sprite by merging tools in this pipeline and el...
