This study seeks to explore five 6 th grade EFL learners' major writing problems by analyzing the nature and distribution of their writing errors and it also investigates factors that cause errors in their writing in English through email communication. This study examined EFL learners’ writing samples and followed taxonomy: grammatical, lexical, semantic, mechanics, and word order types of err...

Value speculation is currently widely used in processor designs to increase the overall number of instructions executed per cycle (IPC). Current methods use sophisticated prediction techniques to speculate on the outcome of branches and execute code accordingly. Speculation can be extended to the approximation of arithmetic values. As arithmetic operations are slow to complete in pipelined exec...

Many non-native English speaking (NNES) graduates are required to write academic papers in English; consequently, recent research in the past decade has been devoted to investigating the usefulness of genrebased Writing Instructions (GBWI) on learners’ writing cultivation. There is little specific guidance, however, on how GBWI can be employed in online learning environments. The study aimed to...

Our group has created a dynamically translating VLIW processor that uses firmware for instruction scheduling. The processor executes MIPS instructions by dynamically translating them into VLIW, and then executing the translated code. We have also implemented a combined toolchain that compiles C to binary for our VHDL processor. The motivation behind the project was to gain practice writing an a...

(d2) calls Dep Reg() which returns true if the preceding instruction is writing the same register that is read by the following instruction (strictly speaking, the same temporary location in register renaming scheme). Note that the dependence through the condition code register is checked separately, since branch instructions read the condition code register which is modified by such instructio...

The present study adopted a mixed-methods research design and explored the role of a set of cognitive (i.e., aptitude and working memory) and motivational (i.e., self-regulatory capacity and self-efficacy beliefs) individual difference variables in the writing quality and composing behavior of 78 Iranian undergraduate EFL learners. The necessary data were collected through a series of instrumen...
