Several developments and investigations have been done to automate the lateral control of hoes with the aim to achieve higher weeding efficiency and decreased labor costs. The aim of this project was to investigate the accuracy and limitations for a computer controlled hoeing operation based on a GPS system. A conventional hoe and an electro-hydraulic side shift frame was used and attached to a...

View Synchrony (VS) is a powerful abstraction in the design and implementation of dependable distributed systems. By ensuring that processes deliver the same set of messages in each view, it allows them to maintain consistency across membership changes. However, experience indicates that it is hard to combine strong reliability guarantees as offered by VS with stable high performance. In this p...

Weed infestations and associated yield losses require effective weed control measures in soybean and sugar beet. Besides chemical weed control, mechanical weeding plays an important role in integrated weed management systems. Field experiments were conducted at three locations for soybean in 2013 and 2014 and at four locations for sugar beet in 2014 to investigate if automatic steering technolo...

IEEE organization defined a standard for floatingpoint arithmetic, used by processing systems, in its directive 754 [1]. This directive encodes floatingpoint numbers using a maximum of 64 bits: 23 bit of fractional as single precision format and 52 bit of fractional as double precision format. The new multimedia terminals require low-power applications; the most important floating-point units (...

We present a method for providing response-time guarantees for multimedia traffic in Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks. The method extends our ResponseTime Analysis (RTA) for ATM networks to better capture the behaviour of MPEG-type multimedia traffic. RTA is intended for admission control of hard real-time traffic, i.e., it determines if a new connection can be admitted without violati...

This paper explores the interplay between algorithm design and a computer’s memory hierarchy. Matrix transpose and the bit-reversal reordering are important scientific subroutines which often exhibit severe performance degradation due to cache and TLB associativity problems. We give lower bounds that show for typical memory hierarchy designs, extra data movement is unavoidable. We also prescrib...
