The design of appropriate communication architectures for complex Systems-on-Chip (SoC) is a challenging task. One promising alternative to solve these problems are Networks-on-Chip (NoCs). Recently, the application of deterministic and stochastic Petri-Nets (DSPNs) to model on-chip communication has been proven to be an attractive method to evaluate and explore different communication aspects....

Network-on-Chip (NoC) is an emerging paradigm for communications within large VLSI systems implemented on a single silicon chip. However, the electronic network on chip design faces many problems like energy consumption, bandwidth and QoS. Compared with traditional electronic NoC, optical Network on Chip exhibits advantages of high-bandwidth, low latency and power dissipation. In this paper, a ...

The Network-on-chip (NoC) designs consisting of large pack of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks (cores) on the same silicon die is becoming technically possible nowadays. But, the communication between the IP Cores is the main issue in recent years. This paper presents the design of a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) based wrapper interconnect as a component of System on programmable chip (...

Network-on-Chip (NoC) replaces the traditional bus-based architecture to become the mainstream design methodology for future complex System-on-Chip (SoC). It introduces the principles of packet switching and interconnection network into SoC design, and achieves much better performance for its high bandwidth, scalability, reliability, etc. However, thermal problem, such as regional temperature d...

This document describes the BCRANK R package. BCRANK[1] is a method that takes a ranked list of genomic regions as input and outputs short DNA sequences that are overrepresented in some part of the list. The algorithm was developed for detecting transcription factor (TF) binding sites in a large number of enriched regions from high-throughput ChIP-chip or ChIP-seq experiments, but it can be app...

The main aim of this paper is to study the material removal phenomenon using the finite element method (FEM) analysis for orthogonal cutting, and the impact of cutting speed variation on the chip formation, stress and plastic deformation. We have explored different constitutive models describing the tool-workpiece interaction. The Johnson-Cook constitutive model with damage initiation and damag...

Technology scaling has proceeded into dimensions in which the reliability of manufactured devices is becoming endangered. The reliability decrease is a consequence of physical limitations, relative increase of variations, and decreasing noise margins, among others. A promising solution for bringing the reliability of circuits back to a desired level is the use of design methods which introduce ...

A many-core system is expected to outperform a traditional single-core system by enabling multiple applications to be executed on separate cores in parallel, given the generous assumption that the execution of an application on one core does not interfere with an application on other cores. Regrettably, this optimistic belief about independence of different applications turns out widely untrue ...

the aim of this study was to characterize albumin fractions of four different wheat varieties grown in a local climatic context, as well as to find the relationship between the particular albumin fractions and enzyme activity of the tested wheat flours and dough rheological properties. the determined content of albumin fractions ranged from 2.64 to 17.50% of total proteins. more than 50% of the...
