Future industrial production and engineering environments will profit substantially from emerging open distributed computer communication network environments. They will, in principle, be able to benefit from a high potential of services available in such environments to support individual client applications. In practice, however, free and flexible client/ server cooperations are frequently hi...

Zinc coating is formed by the heterogeneous assembly of the Γ, Γ1, δ, ζ and η phases whose mechanical properties greatly differ from each other. Thermal strains resulting from large differences between thermal expansion coefficients are partially relaxed by the formation of a crack network. In order to model this phenomenon, initial hardness, thermal expansion coefficient αi and toughness (KIC)...

Simultaneous capillary dominated displacement of the wetting and non-wetting phases are processes of interest in many disciplines including modeling of the penetration of polluting liquids in hydrology or the secondary migration in petroleum reservoir engineering. Percolation models and in particular invasion percolation is well suited to characterize the slow immiscible displaceme...

The network interfaces of existing multicomputers and workstations require a signi cant amount of software overhead to provide protection and bu er management in order to implement messagepassing protocols. This paper advocates a physical memory mapping method in a network interface design that supports user-level bu er management. The method requires only a minimal addition to the traditional ...

Efficient algorithms for reduction operations across a group of processes are crucial for good performance in many large-scale, parallel scientific applications. While previous algorithms limit processing to the host CPU, we utilize the programmable processors and local memory available on modern cluster network interface cards (NICs) to explore a new dimension in the design of reduction algori...

To help elderly and physically disabled people to become self-reliant in daily life such as at home or a health clinic, we have developed a network-type brainmachine interface (BMI) system called “networkBMI” to control real-world actuators like wheelchairs based on human intention measured by a portable brain measurement system. In this paper, we introduce the technologies for achieving the ne...

Emerging nano-scale programmable Resistive-RAM (RRAM) has been identified as a promising technology for implementing brain-inspired computing hardware. Several neural network architectures, that essentially involve computation of scalar-products between input data vectors and stored network ‘weights’ can be efficiently implemented using high density cross-bar arrays of RRAM, integrated with CMO...

T o provide a faster path between applications and the network, most researchers have advocated removing the operating system kernel and its centralized networking stack from the critical path and creating a user-level network interface. With these interfaces, designers can tailor the communication layers each process uses to the demands of that process. Consequently, applications can send and ...

Current mobile devices are often equipped with several network interfaces, which may be of different access technologies, both wireless and cellular. Different requirements of different applications can result in a different preference of the interface that should be used. Network connections should be placed in the best possible interface based on these requirements. During communication, chan...

This report studies the performance of a Cellular Aided Mobile Ad-hoc (CAMA) network by simulation in ns-2. The simulation results are extensions to the previous published results in the paper on CAMA ([1]). The link adaptation, the impact of position error, carrier sense threshold, duration time and mobility, the transmission of CBR, TCP, video and VoIP, and the cellular overhead are studied. ...
