FAFNER-Accelerating Nesting Problems with FPGAs

ACCELERATING MOLECULAR DOCKING and BINDING SITE MAPPING USING FPGAs and GPUs

Towards Real-Time Operating Systems for Heterogeneous Reconfigurable Platforms

Heterogeneous platforms equipped with processors and field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) can be exploited to accelerate specific functions triggered by software activities. Thanks to dynamic partial reconfiguration (DPR) capabilities of modern FPGAs, such functions can be programmed at run-time, thus opening a new dimension in the resource management problems for such platforms. To properly e...

Selection of nesting habitat of hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) in two coral islands of Qeshm and Hengam in the Persian Gulf, Iran

The Persian Gulf islands are the nesting regions for the severely endangered hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) species. Therefore, the selection of the nesting habitat of this species in the two islands of Qeshm and Hengam was studied by a five-member working group in the spring of 2013 - 2015. Ultimately, 23 and 17 nests were identified in the south of Qeshm Island and in the south and...

Are FPGAs Suitable for Edge Computing?

The rapid growth of Internet-of-things (IoT) and artificial intelligence applications have called forth a new computing paradigm–edge computing. In this paper, we study the suitability of deploying FPGAs for edge computing from the perspectives of throughput sensitivity to workload size, architectural adaptiveness to algorithm characteristics, and energy efficiency. This goal is accomplished by...

Comparison of the Effect of Swaddling and Nesting on Neonatal Self-Regulatory Behaviors with Addicted Mothers

Introduction: The use of narcotics during pregnancy is accompanied by injuries such as preterm delivery, low birth weight and severe complications such as birth defects, which can lead to increased stress, decreased self-regulation and hospitalization in infants with the escalation of stress caused by the environment in these infants, there is a need for an evolutionary care approach. Swaddlers...
