This study presents a single-core and a multi-core processor architecture for health monitoring systems where slow biosignal events and highly parallel computations exist. The single-core architecture is composed of a processing core (PC), an instruction memory (IM) and a data memory (DM), while the multi-core architecture consists of PCs, individual IMs for each core, a shared DM and an interc...

Randomly-coupled multi-core fiber (MCF) technology has come to attract lots of attention because its strong applicability long-haul transmission systems. Compared with weakly-coupled MCFs independent cores, it can simultaneously realize higher spatial channel density and ultralow loss using existing ultralow-loss single-mode (SMF) core designs. The mode coupling characteristics randomly-coupled...

Nowadays, multi-core processors are widely used in embedded applications due to the advantages of higher performance and lower power consumption. However, the complexity of multi-core architectures makes it a considerably challenging task to extend a single-core version of a real-time operating system to support multi-core platform. This thesis documents the process of design and implementation...

a wind turbine transformer (wtt) is designed using a 3d wound core while the transformer’s total owning cost (toc) and its inrush current performance realized as the two objective functions in a multi-objective optimization process. multi-objective genetic algorithm is utilized to derive pareto optimal solutions. the effects of inrush current improvement on other operating and design parameters...

3D integration technology can provide significant benefits of reduced interconnection delay and low power consumption in designing multi-core processors. However, the 3D integration technology magnifies the thermal challenges in multi-core processors due to high power density caused by stacking multiple layers vertically. For this reason, the 3D multi-core architecture cannot be practical witho...
