It is well known that ”Bit” is the unit in information theory to measure information volume with Shannon entropy. However, one assumption to use bit as information unit is that each hypothesis is exclusive with each other. This assumption is also the basic assumption in probability theory which means that two events cannot happen synchronously. However, the assumption is violated such as the ”E...

In this paper, we present several novel strategies to improve software controlled cache utilization, so as to achieve lower power requirements for multi-media and signal processing applications. Our methodology is targeted towards embedded multi-media and DSP processors. This methodology takes into account many program parameters like the locality of data, size of data structures, access struct...

In the majority of digital signal processing (DSP) applications the critical operations are the multiplication and accumulation. Real-time signal processing requires high speed and high throughput Multiplier-Accumulator (MAC) unit that consumes low power, which is always a key to achieve a high performance digital signal processing system. The purpose of this work is, design and implementation ...

Since the early 1990s, there has been a debate on the universality of locality in sentence processing (i.e., the preference to associate a word or phrase to the closest possible word). Studies across various languages have investigated ambiguous relative clauses that can be attached to either of two nouns to determine the types of languages in which locality is violated. We report a corpus coun...

in order to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of horticulture processing industries in north khorasan province, this study was used in the analysis of strategic factors approach. required information through interviews and questionnaires completed by 20 people of professional management and agricultural industries, horticulture experts and owners horticulture process...

In this paper we present a topology optimization technique applicable to a broad range of flow design problems. We propose also a discrete adjoint formulation effective for a wide class of Lattice Boltzmann Methods (LBM). This adjoint formulation is used to calculate sensitivity of the LBM solution to several type of parameters, both global and local. The numerical scheme for solving the adjoin...

The X.500 directory can help resolve X.400 routing and name resolution problems. However, useful directory assistance for X.400 is dependent upon small response times from X.500 servers. One way to decrease these response times is to introduce caching. Caching has been found to dramatically increase performance in disks, processors or databases. Recently we provided evidence showing that cachin...

Gardens is a system which supports adaptive parallel computation across networks of workstations. This is achieved by over decomposing a program into more tasks than there are processors. Tasks are migrated to realise adaptation to changing workstation loads e.g. the coming and going of interactive users. Gardens supports a virtual shared object space. Object references are location transparent...
