An efficient Lookup Table (LUT) design for memory-based multiplier is proposed.  This multiplier can be preferred in DSP computation where one of the inputs, which is filter coefficient to the multiplier, is fixed. In this design, all possible product terms of input multiplicand with the fixed coefficient are stored directly in memory. In contrast to an earlier proposition Odd Multiple Storage ...

Technology assessments rely on performance metrics to establish a basis for rating technologies. Metrics are also used to measure relative merit of similar technologies to state-of-the-art technology. Functional performance metrics are presented for mobility and robotic arm autonomy exercised on the NASA Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) surface mission thus far. The metrics are used to apply an ex...

In manufacturing processes, maintaining quality is associated with proper process mean parameters and product quality metrics. The early detection of mean changes is important to reduce the number of defectives or non-conformities in the production. In this work, a diverse ensemble of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) with a leader network have been used to achieve this purpose, then a performa...

Scientific workflows are a common computational model for performing scientific simulations. They may include many jobs, many scientific codes, and many file dependencies. Since scientific workflow applications may include both highperformance computing (HPC) and high-throughput computing (HTC) jobs, meaningful performance metrics are difficult to define, as neither traditional HPC metrics nor ...

This report presents the service for calculation of performance metrics of indoor localization benchmarking experiments. By performance metrics we mean point and room level accuracy of location estimation, response time and power consumption of the system under test. The service is developed in order to standardize the way performance metrics of indoor localization benchmarking experiments are ...

This document lays out a framework by which defensible performance metrics for oil spill response can be developed in an analytic-deliberative process that includes a broad range of stakeholders and is informed by high quality scientific knowledge. Performance metrics can be used to: improve oil spill response planning, promote institutional learning post-response, support public communication ...

A large number of incommensurable metrics are currently used to report the performance of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) used for augmentative and alterative communication (AAC). The lack of standard metrics precludes the comparison of different BCI-based AAC systems, hindering rapid growth and development of this technology. This paper presents a review of the metrics that have been used to r...

In this paper, we propose a new statistical approach to investigate the performance of some objective quality metrics used in the literature in order to determine the most suitable quality metric for watermark transparency evaluation. To this end, we have defined a new procedure based on the ANOVA (ANalysis Of VAriance) tests and the subjective performance evaluation. Firstly, a set of selected...

– in this paper we consider some (α ,β ) -metrics such as generalized kropina, matsumoto and f (α β )2α = + metrics, and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for them to be einstein metrics when βis a constant killing form. then we prove with this assumption that the mentioned einstein metrics must beriemannian or ricci flat.
