To handle the stringent performance and power requirements of future exascale-class applications, High Performance Computing (HPC) systems need ultra-efficient heterogeneous compute nodes and hardware accelerators with a high degree of specialization. Ideally, dynamic reconfiguration will be an intrinsic feature, so that specific HPC application features can be optimally accelerated, even if they...
This paper examines if the phrase "software test architecture" is universally defined and understood. While there may be some agreement on the phrase within select software communities, there is a lack of world standards on the topic. A lack of common definition and practice should be addressed with the maturing of industry segments. This paper considers the lack of a current world industrial...
Internet users are interested in content regardless of its location; however, the current client/server architecture still requires requests to be directed to a specific server. Information-centric networking (ICN) is a recent vein that relaxes this requirement through the use of name-based forwarding, where forwarding decisions are based on content names instead of IP addresses. Despite previous...
Spinal codes are a recently proposed capacity-achieving rateless code. While hardware encoding of spinal codes is straightforward, the design of an efficient, high-speed hardware decoder poses significant challenges. We present the first such decoder. By relaxing data dependencies inherent in the classic M-algorithm decoder, we obtain area and throughput competitive with 3GPP turbo codes as well as...
Computation at the edge of a datacenter has unique characteristics; it deals with streaming data from multiple sources, often requiring repeated application of several standard algorithmic kernels. The demand for high data rates and power efficiency points toward hardware acceleration of key functions. These accelerators must be tightly integrated with general purpose computation to keep invocation...
Space layout planning is the first phase in the process of designing a building. Though a large number of possible layout plans may be generated, a set of requirements and related constraints limits the number of possible options. In this paper, an automated floor plan is presented using genetic algorithm, AutoCAD as an implementing tool and Autolisp as a programming language. The topological and...
Smart object interconnected between each other and producing a large volume of information in Internet of Mobile Things (IoMT) is a huge challenge. The things that we expect to connect to the Internet will consist of sensors, actuators with information processing and communication capabilities that will make themselves intelligent. Sensors are collecting continuously environmental data (e.g. body...
The modern improvement in technology and wireless sensor network, emerge the use of wireless multimedia sensor network in different applications. In WMSNs, different architecture based routing has been refocusing area of research. Wireless multimedia sensor network (WMSN) consist of a multimedia sensor, whose have a capability to capture the audio, video, image and scalar data for different application...
The challenges to push computing to exaflop levels are difficult given desired targets for memory capacity, memory bandwidth, power efficiency, reliability, and cost. This paper presents a vision for an architecture that can be used to construct exascale systems. We describe a conceptual Exascale Node Architecture (ENA), which is the computational building block for an exascale supercomputer. The...
Demand for low-power data processing hardware continues to rise inexorably. Existing programmable and “general purpose” solutions (eg. SIMD, GPGPUs) are insufficient, as evidenced by the order-of-magnitude improvements and industry adoption of application and domain-specific accelerators in important areas like machine learning, computer vision and big data. The stark tradeoffs between efficiency...
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) is an essential and emerging area of research in the field of Ad Hoc Networks. The main objective of deploying VANET is to improve the road safety and reduce the number of accidents. In VANET, routing is a difficult task because of the high mobility of nodes, which causes rapid changes of topology and to deliver a packet within a minimum period of time. Existing...
This article looks at some of the challenges related to the deployment of the Internet Of Things (IoT), specifically to ascertain that security becomes an integral part of the technology rather than a bolted-on wrapper of limited efficacy. IoT security (IoTSec) is needed at all ‘layers’ of the IoT environment and may be specific to the IoT ‘layer’ in question.
Pervasive and networked use of digital technologies has disrupted business strategies, industry structure and emergence of newer organizational forms with firms increasingly competing as software based ecosystems increasingly driven by convergence, changing materiality relationship between form and function of products and inter firm relationships. Decomposition of digital ecosystems into core and...
Various global development opportunities have been escalated through the Internet of Everything (IoE) with the potential of progressing Sustainable Development goals - dramatically accelerating and improving lives of millions. The emerging economies of developing countries with minimal investments have crafted a huge array of (IoE) technologies strongly demanding interoperability and interconnectivity...
Software Defined Networking is considered as the new telecom revolution. Within SDN the control plane acts as the brain of the network and should be designed in the most efficient manner. In this paper we propose a novel architecture to deploy the controllers in a SDN based network. We distribute the controllers into clusters which are managed dynamically by a super controller. We develop a load balancing...
The efficiency and maintainability of fault tolerance mechanisms in a computer system has typically not been a major topic of concern, mostly because fault tolerance is a non-functional system requirement. This paper proposes a Holistic Fault Tolerance architecture, based on a centralised fault tolerance management, with related functionality distributed across the entire system. The most suitable...
In the recent years, the cloud approach to computing has become increasingly popular, in part because it provides location- and device-independent access to applications and data. This feature, in turn, allows to implement a computing system with unified data, in which one's data can be accessed and modified from any device one uses. However, pure cloud computing architectures may be a relatively...
Development of internet technology and mobile technology have been the highly popular in terms of finding, searching and sharing information as a tool for promoting tourism and dissemination of culture. This paper examined the result of mobile technology development for supporting local e-tourism, disseminating Lanna art and culture, and provides details of artifact that are from the past and into...
We developed a script library for automated modeling of the components of Japanese ancient architectures that can be easily utilized by non-professionals of either computer science or CAD, aiming at the economical 3D modeling of regional heritage sites. Such 3D models can be exploited either as part of the Virtual Reality(VR)/Augmented Reality(AR) contents, or made into physical models via 3D printers...
