Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) is an excellent means to improve the performance of a compiled program. Indeed, the execution path data it provides helps the compiler to generate better code and better cacheline packing. At the time of this writing, compilers only support instrumentation-based PGO. This proved effective for optimizing programs. However, few projects use it, due to its complic...

As we have seen in other chapters, the operation and performance of various receiver functions can be quite sensitive to knowledge of the timing (data transition epochs) of the received data symbols. Thus, the ability to accurately estimate this parameter and continuously update the estimate, i.e., perform symbol synchronization (sync), with little knowledge of other parameters is critical to s...

Conservation of heritage buildings deserves special attention, because these are not only a distinctive feature the wisdom and creativity ancients, conveying abundant historic technical information, but often they also symbol culture represent local community as whole [...]

Mimesis theory is one of the primitive skill of imitative learn ing which is regarded as an origin of human intelligence because imita tion is fundamental function for communication and symbol manipula tion When the mimesis is adopted as learning method for humanoids loads for designing full body behavior would be decrease because bottom up learning approaches from robot side and top down teach...
