Asynchronous pipelining is a form of parallelism in which processors execute diierent loop tasks (loop statements) as opposed to diierent loop iterations. An asynchronous pipeline schedule for a loop is an assignment of loop tasks to processors, plus an order on instances of tasks assigned to the same processor. This variant of pipelining is particularly relevant in distributed memory systems (...

The Research and De®elopment Pipeline management problem has far-reaching economic implications for new-product-de®elopment-dri®en industries, such as pharmaceutical, biotechnology and agrochemical industries. Effecti®e decision-making is required with respect to portfolio selection and project task scheduling in the face of significant uncertainty and an e®er-constrained resource pool. The her...

This paper presents a novel split-radix fast Fourier transform (SRFFT) pipeline architecture design. A mapping methodology has been developed to obtain regular and modular pipeline for split-radix algorithm. The pipeline is repartitioned to balance the latency between complex multiplication and butterfly operation by using carry-save addition. The number of complex multiplier is minimized via a...

Many embedded systems are subject to temporal constraints that require advance guarantees on meeting deadlines. Such systems rely on static analysis to safely bound worst-case execution (WCET) bounds of tasks. Designers of these systems are forced to avoid state-of-the-art processors due to their inherent architectural complexity that results in non-determinism. Such micro-processors are typica...

With the growth of electricity generation from gas energy gas pipeline reliability can substantially impact the electric generation. A physical disruption to pipeline or to a compressor station can interrupt the flow of gas or reduce the pressure and lead to loss of multiple gas-fired electric generators, which could dramatically reduce the supplied power and threaten the power system security....

In virtual environments containing a very large number of objects, the limited amount of available resources often proves to be a bottleneck, causing a competition for those resources – for example network bandwidth, processing power or the rendering pipeline. This leads to a degradation of the system’s performance, as only a small number of elements can be granted the resource required. In thi...
