Interaction and visualization are two significant methods for both business people and scientists to find “gold nuggets” buried in raw data. These two methods can simplify complex theories and make it easier for people from different research areas to cooperate. Many prevalent web-based data interaction and visualization tools and libraries are not as effective as before because of big data. Most...
The main idea behind Elders-Up! project is to bring the valuable experience of senior adults to start-ups and small companies [1]. The Elders-Up! project will build an ecosystem for collaboration on which European seniors' labour activities continue after retirement, as well as their productivity and usefulness to the society. On the other hand, small companies struggle to create their own production...
Users of computer systems wish to keep their personal data safe, updated, fair and accessible by other terminals, like personal computers, smart phones, portable consoles and PDAs. To perform these activities, one technology has become popular in our daily lives: data synchronization. Companies that provide this kind of service must do it with the greatest availability possible since their clients...
The development of intelligent systems to support maritime situation awareness is the main goal of the SEAGULL project. By equipping unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with different types of optical sensors we target an intelligent maritime surveillance system. In this paper we present experiments performed with an hyperspectral camera to detect oil spills. We have developed a detection algorithm that...
The goals of the modern Computer-assisted Instruction systems are ultimately achievable only through the application of artificial intelligence techniques to the implementation of teaching strategies. The author of the traditional Computer-assisted Instruction course must explicitly predict and program all possible paths through the lessons, including backward branches for review or remediation. The...
While autonomy developers have been able to take advantage of external control interfaces on intelligent vehicles for years, they have typically had to choose between control architectures and interfaces that only allowed them to use the existing behaviors of the vehicle (task-level control) or those that allowed them to set desired control values (setpoint control) but then required them to re-invent...
As DRAM reaches its density limitation, various new memory technologies such as STT-RAM and PCM are emerging as contenders for next generation memory. As these new types of memory, which we refer to as New Memory (NM), are byte addressable and nonvolatile, they are anticipated to, partially or wholly, take on the role of main memory and storage. The goal of this study is to evaluate how the read/write...
Mission critical embedded systems should be capable of performing intended functions with resiliency against cyberattacks. The methodology of design-for-cybersecurity is now widely recognized, in which the effects of cybersecurity, or lack thereof, on system objectives must be determined. However, developers are often challenged by the difficulty of analyzing a system-under-design without complete...
There is a pressing need for high-radix routers in modern HPC (High Performance Computing) interconnects and to build the exascale computers with massive clusters. In this paper, we propose MBL, a high-radix router with a multi-stage bufferless switch Clos network inside. Booksim interconnection network simulator is used to implement our arbitrating designs for the architecture and it runs well under...
There is a growing research interest in quantum computing because of its promise to provide significant performance speedups over classical computers at specialized tasks. While there have been many advances in building more capable, robust, and useful quantum algorithms and software, it is not clear how a scalable, high-performance, and area-efficient quantum architecture should be designed for efficient...
During the 1940s John Atanasoff with the help of one of his students Clifford E. Berry, in Iowa State College, created the ABC (Atanasoff-Berry Computer) that was the first electronic digital computer. The ABC computer was not a general-purpose one, but still, it was the first to implement three of the most important ideas used in computers nowadays: binary data representation; using electronics instead...
Today's usable quantum computers, variously known as adiabatic quantum computers or quantum annealers and exemplified by the D-Wave 2X™ system, have an instruction set architecture foreign to mainstream classical computers and thus require a new class of programming tools to enable their widespread use. We submit that well-chosen abstractions, each balancing the ability of high- and low-level tools...
This paper describes the course on Advanced Computer Structure given in the Computer Engineering Degree at the University of Murcia. The subject carries six ECTS credits and students have 150 hours during which they attend theory classes and practicals, and carry out their personal work along with the corresponding evaluation. This article analyzes the teaching methodology, the timing, the coordination,...
The paper present a Dynamic Service Discovery System[1] with a Priority Load Balance Strategy. The system not only integrates Zookeeper[2] and tradition web project written with Spring and SpringMVC to achieve the dynamic service discovery function, which feeds the basic needs of the Priority Load Balance Strategy. The experimental test result shows that the new system has lots of advantages over...
Venn & Euler diagrams are well-defined mathematical diagram types, which are the major representation methods of Set Theory. Although understanding of different diagram types such as charts and coordinate graphs has been addressed, no research has been done for Venn and Euler diagram interpretation from an image. Venn and Euler Diagrams exist in various media types such as printed format in books,...
In recent years, computer system capability training becomes an important research issue for teaching reforms of computer major. This paper propose a new system ability training scheme via analyzing the existing reform methods. By establishing core courses and optimizing experimental teaching system, our reform completes the teaching target that let undergraduate students to develop a CPU, an operating...
Heterogeneous computing has recently emerged as a way to circumvent the physical and technological limitations in the design of computing devices. The pressure exerted by the ever-growing demand of increased performances has eventually made the long-awaited dream of having a traditional CPU paired up with an FPGA a reality [1], [2]. FPGAs have proven indeed to be a viable solution for energy efficient...
➔ The incremental step of LiveSynth reduces synthesis time by about 95% for incremental changes. ➔ LiveSynth shifts the paradigm to small, incremental changes and more iterations per day. ➔ We advocate for an interactive synthesis flow as a way to boost design productivity.
With the development of semiconductor technology and many-core processors, many-core processors has gradually become mainstream and a hot topic in the field of computer science. With the development of network and all kinds of network applications, the number of network data presents explosive growth, how to achieve the rapid processing of network data has been a problem to be solved. Aimed to resolve...
Distributed parallel computing platform performs well in processing big data. However, due to the platform's complexity and distributed characteristics, it is hard to design and achieve. For example, during the platform's design phase, variations are unpredictable. To address these issues, a highly structured object-oriented framework for systematic modeling, which has high flexibility, reusability...
