Many of the computational problems we are facing today are complex and need huge computational power to be solved. It is well-known that processors will not continue to get faster, but will get more cores instead. More cores are not only harder to utilize by an application programmer, but also challenge hardware designers. Thus various new hardware architectures are designed and evaluated in or...

Common paradigms for human-computer interaction used in the design of general computer interfaces are often not suited for the telepresentation scenario. This is true for hardware input devices, generally keyboard and mouse, as well as for software user interfaces. The use of alternative input devices and the adaption of the according software is necessary to gain full profit of the augmented p...

This paper shows how the Xilinx System Generator can be used to develop hardware-based computer vision algorithms from a system level approach without the necessity of in-depth knowing neither a hardware description language nor the particulars of the hardware platform. Also, it is demonstrated that Simulink can be employed as a co-design and co-simulation platform for rapid prototyping of Comp...

We propose an architecture for securely resolving IP addresses into hardware addresses over an Ethernet. The proposed architecture consists of a secure server connected to the Ethernet and two protocols: an invite-accept protocol and a request-reply protocol. Each computer connected to the Ethernet can use the invite-accept protocol to periodically record its IP address and its hardware address...

Digital computer simulation provides an important tool for the study of complex systems. When the complexity of the problem is too large to warrant an analytical solution, simulation is the only option to analyze system configurations or operational modes prior to their implementation in the field. Not all components in a complex system can be modelled in adequate detail in computer simulations...

A compiler is a software layer that helps the high level executions that are made in a programming language to be compiled and implemented by the underlying hardware computer architecture. Though a compiler is majorly designed based on the language specification, the hardware that it is going to implement on has a significant role in the compiler design. Effective compilers allow for a more eff...

many of the video processing algorithms cannot be implemented in real time on general computers, due to their computational complexity. for an efficient implementation, a custom hardware that can be reconfigured for the algorithm, is used. in this paper a new acceleration hardware based on fpga elements is proposed. this hardware can be adapted with the processing algorithm through fpga design ...

Hardware information: Any computer with a FORTRAN 77 compiler.

As quantum computers become available to the general public, need has arisen train a cohort of programmers, many whom have been developing classical computer programs for most their careers. While currently less than 100 qubits, computing hardware is widely expected grow in terms qubit count, quality, and connectivity. This review aims at explaining principles programming, which are quite diffe...
