This paper presents how to compute n-bit CRC checksums on FPGAs in parallel. For this task, a specialized logic minimization strategy is outlined. It achieves signiicantly better results than standard logic optimizers. For n 96, CRC designs with an n-bit I/O interface are poorly routable. However, for smaller I/O interfaces even a 128-bit CRC can be implemented.

Industrial visits represent important activities in any engineering undergraduate programme that contribute to the achievement of various essential learning outcomes and programme objectives. This paper reports on an attempt to make the industrial visit an integral part of the course. This is achieved through identifying learning outcomes and a suitable industrial site to achieve them. In this ...

Memoization is a useful technique to eliminate computational redundancy. A memo function remembers all the arguments to which it has been applied, together with their corresponding results, by storing them in a table. This table is consulted before each functional call to determine if the particular argument is in it. If so, the call is skipped and the stored result is returned; otherwise the c...

In this study, a three–layer artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the pressure gradient in horizontal liquid–liquid separated flow. A total of 455 data points were collected from 13 data sources to develop the ANN model. Superficial velocities, viscosity ratio and density ratio of oil to water, and roughness and inner diameter of pipe were used as input parameters of ...
