Benchmarks are valuable for comparing processor performance. However, porting and running processor benchmarks on new platforms can be di cult. Touchstone, a simple addition benchmark, is designed to overcome portability problems, while retaining performance measurement accuracy. In this paper, we present experimental results that show Touchstone correlates strongly with processor performance u...

This paper addresses the design of an observer-based fault diagnosis scheme, which is applied to some of the sensors and actuators of a wind turbine benchmark model. The methodology is based on a modified sliding mode observer (SMO) that allows accurate reconstruction of multiple sensor or actuator faults occurring simultaneously. The faults are reconstructed using the equivalent output err...
