Future generation embedded multicore will be based on hundreds of processors connected through Network on Chip (NOC) . Design productivity of embedded multicore is a major challenge for the semiconductor industry. In this paper, an automatic very large scale NoC design methodology based on FPGA IP is proposed to accelerate the embedded multicore design productivity using very large scale multi-...

Productivity gap on SoC design is a challenge to address in design method research area. Main research topics in this area address this problem using many schemes and methods. Software for automation in a system design and implementation is one solution to address design time efficiency. The second one is parallelism concept in hardware/software co-design. This approach addresses both design ti...

In today’s competitive business environment, companies are facing challenges in dealing with big data issues for rapid decision making for improved productivity. Many manufacturing systems are not ready to manage big data due to the lack of smart analytics tools. Germany is leading a transformation toward 4th Generation Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) based on Cyber-Physical System based m...

With the growing competition, many construction organizations attempt to improve their productivity, quality, and efficiency. Construction waste management, by means of reverse logistics, becomes a key issue to improve the productivity, and raise the company’s green image. In this study, four key reverse logistics methods, including the direct reuse, the remanufacturing, the recycling, and the ...

Low food availability is a major structuring force in deep-sea benthic communities, sustaining only very low densities of organisms in parts of the abyss. These low population densities may result in an Allee effect, whereby local reproductive success is inhibited, and populations are maintained by larval dispersal from bathyal slopes. This slope-abyss source-sink (SASS) hypothesis suggests tha...

Using control function approaches to endogeneity, nonparametric identi…cation is established for production functions under weak conditions. The distribution of productivity is also recovered nonparametrically. Instead of "inverting out" the productivity shock, control functions "expect out" unobserved shocks. Controls are estimated using lagged levels of capital and labor as instruments, and t...

Indonesia has been recognized as a country with significant potential in agriculture, not only to be self-sufficient in terms of food, but also to be the “food basket” for the world. However, given limited and competing use of resources, raising agricultural productivity is of paramount importance. To date, most of the existing work on Indonesia’s agricultural sector is at the national level. C...

In this paper, periodic force operation of a wastewater treatment process has been studied for the improved process performance. A previously developed dynamic model for the process is used to conduct the performance analysis. The static version of the model was utilized first to determine the optimal productivity conditions for the process. Then, feed flow rate in terms of dilution rate i.e. (...

Many business organizations have started incorporating methodologies of resource wastage minimization, concentration on added value tasks and permanent quality improvement through the use of kaizen philosophy. The concept behind the Kaizen philosophy relies on the distinction between value adding and non value adding activities, and then the focus on improving the productivity level of some pro...
