The growing market of multi-media applications requires development of complex embedded systems with significant data-path portions. However, current hardware synthesis and software optimizations tools and methodologies do not support arithmeticlevel optimizations necessary for data intensive applications. In particular, most highlevel synthesis tools cannot automatically synthesize data paths ...

-This paper summarizes the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 orbit determination activity extending from encounter minus 60 days to the Jupiter encounter, and includes quantitative results and conclusions derived from mission experience. The major topics covered include an identification and quantification of the major orbit determination error sources and a review of salient orbit determination results ...

The Argonne Voyager Multimedia Server is being developed in the Futures Lab of the Mathematics and Computer Science Division at Argonne National Lab oratory As a network based service for recording and playing multimedia streams it is important that the Voyager system be capable of sustaining certain mini mal levels of performance in order for it to be a viable system In this article we examine...

Voyager 2 data from 47 AU shows a delay of about 6 days between the arrival of interplanetary shock fronts and the peaks in the 0.52 1.45 MeV energetic proton ux. Similar data recorded when Voyager 2 was at 5 AU shows that the shock fronts and the peaks in the energetic proton ux are virtually coincident. If injection and acceleration took place at the shock fronts one would expect the peaks in...

This paper describes the design and implementation of high performance numerical software in Java. Our primary goals are to characterize the performance of object-oriented numerical software written in Java and to investigate whether Java is a suitable language for such endeavors. We have implemented JLAPACK, a subset of the LAPACK library in Java. LAPACK is a high-performance Fortran 77 librar...

introduction: direct and rapid access to information is one of the main necessities of the users in new technological world. nowadays, information users, particularly medical information in which rapid access is of necessity, do not have enough time to search and access to information. therefore, the present study aimed to determine strategies to access required information as soon as possible....

In this master’s thesis a software library will be presented to be used in conjunction with a robotic simulation platform. This library enables roboticists to conduct research without the usual constraints imposed by a simulator. It enables fast-prototyping of models with Matlab and the use of distributed models. A model of the cerebellum is used to showcase this library. First a simple demonst...
