Recently a Checkpointing and Communication Library (CCL) for optimistic simulation on Myrinet based Network of Workstations (NOWs) has been presented. CCL ofloads checkpoint operations from the CPU by charging them to a programmable DMA engine on the Myrinet network card. CCL includes also functionalities for freezing the simulation application on demand, which can be used for data consistency ...

Daily management of neurodegenerative diseases is one of the most striking scenarios where an integrated health care system is essential for the continuous assistance to the patient and requires qualification of the caregivers and their training. In particular, patients affected by depression or chronic pain, as well as rehabilitating after stroke, can be treated at home with non-invasive elect...

Public displays are becoming increasingly interactive but we still need better programming tools that take the burden of adding interaction features to display applications. In this paper, we present a toolkit for web-based, remote, direct manipulation interaction with public display applications. Our toolkit provides high-level controls such as joystick, text input, and multi-touch cursor even...

The proposed design of HDB3 decoding system using FPGA implementation offers an efficient and unfailing decoding at receiving end by sustaining clock data recovery using Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS). The system captures E1/T1 HDB3 encoded tertiary level stream at input, converts it into binary level symbols, FPGA IO reconcilable, and decode and transforms it into synchronized NRZ output. The ...

In HPVis wird eine Programmierschnittstelle (API) entwickelt, die dem Programmierer die Kommunikation mit einem FPGA-Board erleichtert. Eine rechenintensive Applikation wird in parallele Prozesse aufgeteilt. So können bestimmte Prozesse der Gesamtapplikation auf das FPGA ausgelagert werden. Die API wird durch die Angabe der beteiligten Prozesse sowie deren Kommunikationskanäle untereinander in ...

A software package has been developed which provides direct access to hardware components for testing, diagnostics or monitoring purposes. It provides a library of C++ classes for hardware access and a corresponding graphical user interface. Special care has been taken to make this package convenient to use, flexible and extensible. The software has been successfully used in development of comp...

A web service-based web application (WSbWA) is a collection of web services or reusable proven software parts that can be discovered and invoked using standard Internet protocols. The use of these web services in the development process of WSbWAs can help overcome many problems of software use, deployment and evolution. Although the cost-effective software engineering of WSbWAs is potentially a...
