Application Speciic Instruction set Processors (ASIPs) are eld or mask programmable processors of which the architecture and instruction set are opti-mised to a speciic application domain. ASIPs ooer a high degree of exibility and are therefore increasingly being used in competitive markets like telecommunications. However, adequate CAD techniques for the design and programming of ASIPs are mis...

With this scheme, a simple processor might take 4 cycles per instruction (CPI = 4). processors, such as IBM's 801 research prototype, the MIPS R2000 (based on to pipeline a RISC because its reduced instruction set means the instructions This simple (and fun) classification of design styles first appeared in a 1993. The two processor classifications are the Reduced Instruction Set Computer The p...

This study investigated whether Lexical Inferencing (L1) and Morphological Instruction (MI) can significantly affect EFL learners’ reading comprehension, furthermore, it also examined their effects on the learners’ vocabulary retention over time. 60 homogeneous EFLlearnerswere randomly assigned to two experimental and a control groups. After the pre-test, participants of the first experimental ...

This study investigated the effects of blog-mediated instruction on English-as-a-foreign language (EFL) learners’ writing performance and anxiety. In addition, it aimed to probe into the EFL learners’ attitudes towards blog-mediated writing instruction. The participants of the study included forty-six Iranian EFL learners from two intact university classes, who were randomly assigned to the Con...

-It has been known that loops constitute the most executed segments of programs and therefore are the best candidates for hardware implementation. We present a set of profiling tools that are specifically dedicated to loop profiling and do support combined function and loop profiling. One tool relies on an instruction set simulator and can therefore be augmented with architecture and micro-arch...

There is accumulating correlational evidence that the effect of specific types of reading instruction depends on children's initial language and literacy skills, called child characteristics × instruction (C×I) interactions. There is, however, no experimental evidence beyond first grade. This randomized control study examined whether C×I interactions might present an underlying and predictable ...

Robots acquire behaviors to perform tasks, in general by being programmed, or occasionally by being instructed through demonstrations. In this thesis, we address the challenge of providing task behaviors to a robot through language instructions and interactions. We consider robots equipped with built-in motion and perception primitives with their functionality known to the user. We contribute I...
