StreamIt is a streaming programming language for signal processing applications [1]. It is designed for communicationexposed architectures, such as Raw [5], in which multiple processing cores are arranged on a grid with network connections between adjacent cores. In this section, we provide an overview of the StreamIt language and some of the compiler techniques used to obtain high performance ...

The structure of chains in the optimal chain decomposition of a periodic schedule S is investigated. A finite oriented graph termed the Linis Graph (LG) is defined which serves as the key for this investigation. The edges of the LG are trip-types of S and the vertices of the LG represent terminals. It is proved that there is an Euler cycle for a connected LG satisfying natural precedence relati...

I intend to use the streaming model as the basis for Admiral 2, particularly that of the StreamIt language [1]. In this model, a program consists of multiple independent filters, each of which consists of a steady-state function that computes a fixed number of outputs from a fixed number of inputs. These filters are composed hierarchically into a streaming graph, where edges correspond to the f...

New regulations and incentives are encouraging the use of clean, alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in urban areas. These vehicles are seen as one option for reducing air pollution from mobile sources. However, because of the limited number of AFVs on the road, little is known about actual lifetime emissions characteristics of in-use AFVs. This study describes the use of a generalized analysis of...

In this paper we have characterized the epimorphisms in the full subcategory of Hausdorff fuzzy topological spaces (introduced by Srivastava et al.[10]) of the category FTS of fuzzy topological spaces and fuzzy continuous functions using the Salbanytype closure operator.

Heterarchical FMS control architectures localize decisional capabilities in each entity, resulting in highly reactive, low complexity control architectures. Unfortunately, these architectures present myopic behavior since decisional entities have limited visibility of other decisional entities’ behavior and the alignment of an entity’s decision with the system’s global objective. In this paper,...
