Migrating functionality from software to hardware has historically held the promise of enhancing performance through exploiting the inherent parallel nature of hardware. Many early exploratory efforts in repartitioning traditional software based services into hardware were hampered by expensive ASIC development costs. Recent advancements in FPGA technology have made it more economically feasibl...

■ Core: ARM 32-bit CortexTM-M3 CPU – 72 MHz maximum frequency, 1.25 DMIPS/MHz (Dhrystone 2.1) performance at 0 wait state memory access – Single-cycle multiplication and hardware division ■ Memories – 32 to 128 Kbytes of Flash memory – 6 to 20 Kbytes of SRAM ■ Clock, reset and supply management – 2.0 to 3.6 V application supply and I/Os – POR, PDR, and programmable voltage detector (PVD) – 4-to...

Time management is one of the critical modules of safety-critical systems. Applications need strong assurance from the operating system that their hard real-time requirements are met. Partitioned system has recently evolved as a means to provide protection to safety critical applications running on an Avionics computer resource. Each partition has an application running strictly for a specified...

An automated one- or two-dimensional TLC tank is described. The solvent front is monitored by a photocell or recycling timers.

The primary goal of a data network is to carry data tra c. Some of the tra c carried in a network is control tra c such as routing, signalling and end-to-end protocol control. Unregulated growth of control tra c can jeopardize the primary goal of networks. This paper discusses scaling of control tra c in network protocols and proposes some general scaling techniques. Control tra c can be regula...

Abstract Restarting a deterministic process always impedes its completion. However, it is known that restarting random can lead to an opposite outcome—expediting Hence, the effect of restart contingent on underlying statistical heterogeneity process’ completion times. To quantify this we introduce novel approach research: methodology inequality indices, which widely applied in economics and soc...
