We present a novel loop transformation technique, particularly well suited for optimizing embedded compilers, where an increase in compilation time is acceptable in exchange for significant performance increase. The transformation technique optimizes loops containing nested conditional blocks. Specifically, the transformation takes advantage of the fact that the Boolean value of the conditional...

bainitic transformation at low transformation temperatures leads to a microstructure involving fine plates of bainitic ferrite and thin films of retained austenite. this microstructure has shown ultimate tensile strength of about 2.2 gpa, noticeable uniform elongation in the range of 5 to 30%, hardness values of about 600 to 670 hv and impact toughness in the range of 30 to 40 mpa m1/2. with ca...

In this paper, we have designed and developed a technique for burning area identification using Intensity Hue Saturation (IHS) transformation and image segmentation. The process of identifying the burnt area in proposed technique consists of four steps such as: IHS transformation, object segmentation, identification of smoke area using Feed-Forward Neural Network (FFNN) and discovering burning ...

Little attention is given to teaching the theory and practice of software evolution and change in software engineering curricula. Program transformation is no exception. This paper presents the author’s experience and lessons learned from teaching program transformation, particularly source-to-source transformation, as a technique for software reengineering in a postgraduate module on software ...

Affine transformation preserves the original shapeof an object, therefore it is a very important aspect in computer graphics. This paper presents a technique, how to apply reflections transformation in a mathematical Cartesian coordinates for Java students.

The technique of Darboux transformation is applied to nonlocal partner of two–dimensional periodic A n−1 Toda lattice. This system is shown to admit a representation as the compatibility conditions of direct and dual overdetermined linear systems with quantized spectral parameter. The generalization of the Darboux transformation technique on linear equations of such a kind is given. The solutio...

We describe two techniques for reducing the effectiveness of sybil attacks, in which an attacker uses a large number of fake user accounts to increase his reputation. The first technique uses a novel transformation of the ranks returned by the PageRank system. This transformation not only reduces susceptibility to sybil attacks but also provides an intuitive and easily interpreted reputation sc...

Linear grouping is a technique where linear relationship information is gathered for a set of rigid points. This information is used to accelerate vertex transformation, vertex clipping, texture transformation, etc. The linear grouping technique is an optimization problem, originally implemented in a best-first branch-and-bound search. In this paper, we introduce several new extensions and impr...

I discuss a technique for on-the-fly model transformations based on incremental updates. The essence of the technique is to keep track of all possible matchings of graph transformation rules, and update these matchings incrementally to exploit the fact that rules typically perform only local modifications to models. The proposal is planned to be implemented as a plug-in for the Fujaba graph tra...

In this paper we propose to use Interaction Nets as a formalism for Visual Functional Programming. We consider the use of recursion patterns and introduce a suitable archetype/instantiation mechanism for interaction agents. We also consider program transformation by fusion, a well-known transformation technique, and show that this extends smoothly to our visual programming framework. Examples o...
