Conventional approaches to increase the performance of microprocessors often do not provide the performance boost one has hoped for due to diminishing returns. We propose the extension of a conventional hardwired microprocessor with a reconngurable logic array, integrating both conventional and reconngurable logic on the same die. Simulations have shown that even a comparatively simple and comp...

We extend Krylov subspace methods, which are intended for iterative solution of systems of linear equations, to a function space for the solution of cicuit problems. Four of the previously untried methods are applied to a tightly coupled circuit to illustrate the convergence properties of these methods. Numerical results showed that convergence was achieved for many cases where the conventional...

This paper proposes a new architecture for tightly coupled multi robot coordination that is well suited to cooperative manipulation tasks At all times a robot is identi ed as a leader while the others are desig nated as followers The assignment of roles and the coordination between the robots is guaranteed by com munication protocols and control algorithms The key feature is the exibility that ...

Data mining is rapidly nding its way into mainstream computing. The development of generic methods such as itemset counting has opened the area to academic inquiry and has resulted in a large harvest of research results. While the mined datasets are often in relational format, most mining systems do not use relational DBMS. Thus, they miss the opportunity to leverage the database technology dev...

Status of This Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document examines a wide range of conferencing requirements for tightly coupled SIP conferences. Separate documents will map the requirements to existing protocol primitives, define new protocol extensions, and...

SymTA/S is a high-level multiprocessor performance analysis tool for early design stages. Innovative extensions allow improved modeling of tightly coupled MPSoCs and evaluation of their robustness.

Autonomous agents are being introduced in a wide variety of domains, because they promise to increase agility. Example domains where these systems are emerging are such diverse domains as multi-modal transportation, crisis response, firefighting with unmanned aerial vehicles and air traffic control. In general, the tasks that need to be performed in these domains are interdependent, require mor...

AbstructSite construction operations by autonomous robotic systems are essential for a sustained robotic presence and human habitation on Mars. We report on the development of a softwarehardware framework for Cooperating multiple robots performing such tightly coordinated tasks. This work builds on our earlier research into autonomous planetary rovers and robot a m . Here, we seek to closely co...
