Automated target recognition is an application area that requires special-purpose hardware to achieve reasonable performance. FPGA-based platforms can provide a high level of performance for ATR systems if the implementation can be adapted to the limited FPGA and routing resources of these architectures. This paper discusses a mapping experiment where a linear-systolic implementation of an ATR ...

It is well-known that the time taken for disseminating a large data object over a wireless sensor network is dominated by the overhead of resolving the contention for the underlying wireless channel. In this paper, we propose a new dissemination protocol called Splash, that eliminates the need for contention resolution by exploiting constructive interference and channel diversity to effectively...

This paper proposes a new data-driven approach for modeling detailed splashes for liquid simulations with neural networks. Our model learns to generate small-scale splash detail for uid-implicit-particle methods using training data acquired from physically accurate, high-resolution simulations. We use neural networks to model the regression of splash formation using a classi er together with a ...

Hoang’s paper demonstrated the absolutely massive speedup potential present in FPGA acceleration for DNA sequence matching, showing that a single Splash 2 board (consisting of 17 Xilinx 4010 FPGAs) should be two orders of magnitude faster than a MasPar MP-1, a SIMD supercomputer uniquely suited to this problem. A full 16-board Splash 2 configuration would be sixteen times faster. Comparisons wi...

We present a case of successful superficial keratectomy and amniotic membrane grafting to re-establish ocular surface from denuded stroma and significant limbal ischemia caused by a cement splash. We fully documented a case report about the sequels, complications and management strategies of a chemical burn to the eyes associated with a cement splash. Slit lamp examination, visual acuity test a...

This paper presents a system called Splash, which integrates statistical modeling and SQL for the purpose of adhoc querying and analysis. Splash supports a novel, simple, and practical abstraction of statistical modeling as an aggregate function, which in turn provides for natural integration with standard SQL queries and a relational DBMS. In addition, we introduce and implement a novel repres...

We simulate the onset and evolution of the earliest splashing of an infinite cylindrical liquid drop on a smooth dry solid surface. A tiny splash is observed to be emitted out of the rim of the lamella in the early stage of the impact. We find that the onset time of the splash is primarily dependent on the characteristic timescale, which is defined by the impact velocity as well as the drop rad...

It has been claimed that focused hot cylindrical upwelling plumes cause many of the surface volcanic hotspots on Earth. It has also been argued that they must originate from thermal boundary layers. In this paper, we present spherical simulations of mantle circulation at close to Earth-like vigor with significant internal heating. These show, in addition to thermal boundary layer plumes, a new ...
