A theorem of Green, Tao, and Ziegler can be stated as follows: if R is a pseudorandom distribution, and D is a dense distribution of R, then D can be modeled as a distribution M which is dense in uniform distribution such that D and M are indistinguishable. The reduction involved in the proof has exponential loss in the distinguishing probability. Reingold et al give a new proof of the theorem ...

In this paper, we present the rationale and design of the Delft reconfigurable and parameterized VLIW processor called ρ-VEX. Its architecture is based on the Lx/ST200 ISA developed by HP and STMicroelectronics. We implemented the processor on an FPGA as an open-source softcore and made it freely available. Using the ρ-VEX, we intend to bridge the gap between general-purpose and application-spe...

• There is not a crisis of hardening occurring amongst Australian smokers. The prevalence hardcore smoking varies depending on how it defined. Hardcore smokers do threaten achieving further reductions in prevalence. hypothesis proposes that as rates decline, the remaining will become and resistant to quitting. This group highly quitters potentially require more individualistic approaches cessat...

This paper presents a novel architecture for k-nearest neighbor (kNN) classification using field programmable gate array (FPGA). In the architecture, the first k closest vectors in the design set of a kNN classifier for each input vector are first identified by performing the partial distance search (PDS) in the wavelet domain. To implement the PDS in hardware, subspace search, bitplane reducti...

This paper presents the architectural design of a reconfigurable and extensible Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processor. In addition to architectural extensibility, our processor also supports reconfigurable operations. Furthermore, we present an application development framework to optimally exploit the freedom of reconfigurable operations. Because our processor is based on the VEX ISA, we...

Our goal today: Assumption 3 is still pretty strong in the sense that it says that no circuit can guess f(x) much better than the trivial 1/2. We will show that it is implied by the seemingly much weaker assumption that there’s some function f such that no circuit can compute f(x) with probability 1− 1/nc for some constant c > 0. Assumption 4: ∃f ∈ E such that CC1−n−c(f) ≥ 2n . That is, for eve...

Should the practice of the historic preservation of built and landscape heritage necessarily be based on conservation? Monuments, listed buildings, landscapes, and other forms of built heritage, are typically regarded as immutable and untouchable—objects to be “conserved”—and as a result tend to fade from public imagination and memory (Rietveld et al., 2017). Current conservative preservation p...

This paper describes design decisions for JOP, a Java Optimized Processor, implemented in an FPGA. FPGA density-price relationship makes it now possible to consider them not only for prototyping of processor designs but also as final implementation technology. However, using an FPGA as target platform for a processor different constraints influence the CPU architecture. Digital building blocks ...
