Some issues in programming multi-mini-processors

Core Power Management Issues in Asymmectric Multi/Many-Core Processors

Power managing is a major issue in designing the future asymmectric multi/many-core processors. The challenge is to provide a solution that has low power consumption, in addition to trade off a small decrease in performance and throughput. Our design includes asymmetric cores in consideration of different points in the view of power-performance efficiency during an application’s execution. In t...

Multi-paradigm Logic Programming Some Applications of Functional-logic Programming

We show examples for higher-order functional logic programming in which both programming concepts nicely complement each other. These include modeling distributed systems, parsing and hardware synthesis.

Programming Reaction-Diffusion Processors

In reaction-diffusion (RD) processors, both the data and the results of the computation are encoded as concentration profiles of the reagents. The computation is performed via the spreading and interaction of wave fronts. Most prototypes of RD computers are specialized to solve certain problems, they can not be, in general, re-programmed. In the paper, we try to show possible means of overcomin...

Mini Project Programming Exams

A number of different types of final programming exams used or considered at the Department of Computer Science, Aalborg University, are identified and analyzed. Based on this analysis, a new type of programming exam is introduced called a Mini Project Programming (MIP) exam. MIP is a group-based programming assignment that is intended as a medium-scale programming effort followed by a final or...
