The failure behavior and the corresponding physical mechanism of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) under transmission line pulse (TLP) stress were investigated in this paper. result shows that output transfer characteristics HEMTs after 90 cycles begin to degrade by comparing with fresh ones 40 V TLP voltage, gate leakage current devices slightly increases. When voltage 52 wa...

This paper describes research in exploiting loop-level parallelism on a simultaneous multithreading processor. We discuss some general and ad-hoc techniques for loop parallelization that proved to be e ective with SMT, and how they were tuned for it. These techniques have been tested on the well-known Livermore loops, chosen for their variety of behaviors. The set of optimizations used produced...

In a letter to Bertrand Russell, Wittgenstein complained that the British philosopher did not understand the main message of the Tractatus. He explained that “the main point is the theory of what can be expressed by propositions—i.e., by language . . . and what cannot be expressed by propositions, but only shown; which, I believe, is the cardinal problem of philosophy” (qtd. in Stern 69–70). Th...

The study focuses on the critical interlayer thickness for averting pore formation during transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding in the Cu–Sn system. Such pores are a consequence of the growth and subsequent contact of Cu6Sn5 intermetallic grains on the two surfaces to be bonded, prior to the formation of the transient liquid phase. A criterion for the critical interlayer thickness is developed, ...

This paper presents an experiment in which an implementation of the client side of the SSH Transport Layer Protocol (SSH-TLP) was semi-automatically derived according to a model-driven development paradigm that leverages formal methods in order to obtain high correctness assurance. The approach used in the experiment starts with the formalization of the protocol at an abstract level. This model...

Emerging applications such as forest fire monitoring have increasing demands on WSN to transmit data in real-time. In order to ensure real-time data transmission, it requires that the operating system of a node should schedule tasks in real-time. TinyOS is one of the most popular operation systems that support multifarious applications. However, its FIFO scheduling strategy does not guarantee r...

Thread level parallelism (TLP) is a key technology to coming generation of high performance processors. Although it provides higher processing capability, the loss of compatibility with existing processors is a crucial issue. This research is motivated by the following two points: (1) TLP requires multithread programming which is rather di cult for ordinary programmers, or complexed compilation...

The wave drift forces on tension leg platforms (TLP) are contributed by secondorder potential and viscous wave load effects, the fluctuations in wave surface elevation and the influence of platform displaced position on the wave excitation. These forces are expressed in terms of in phase and out of phase drift forces. In this study, computationally efficient time domain and frequency domain bas...
