Most of computing research has focused on the computing technologies themselves versus how full systems make use of them (e.g., memory fabric, interconnect, software, and compute elements combined). Technologists have largely failed to look at the compute system as a whole, instead optimizing subsystems mostly in isolation. The result, for example, is that systems are built where applications c...

Formant trajectories of five American English diphthongs embedded in the target words BAIT (/ei/), BITE (/ai/), POUT (/au/), BOAT (/Ou/), BOYS (/oi/) are investigated in the F1-F2 space as a function of age and gender. Age range considered is from 5 to 18 years. In this report, the focus is given to the differences in position between the start/end points of diphthongs and nine monophthons. Ave...

One of the tenets of equilibrium asset pricing models is that expected return of an asset is positively related to its risk (price variability of the asset). In other words, it is expected that assets with higher expected returns are also the ones with higher risk, or assets with lower risk are the ones with lower expected returns. The logic behind this idea is actually is simple and intuitive:...

The main aim of this paper is to design and implement efficient UART and test the UART with built in self testing technique . A new Test pattern generator is simulated and used in BIST architecture in order to reduce power dissipation. As we know that power dissipation is more during the test mode than in normal mode hence In this project the pattern generator used is the low power pattern gene...

Parallel workstations, each comprising a 10-100 processor shared memory machine, promise cost-e ective general-purpose multiprocessing. This thesis explores the coupling of such smallto medium-scale shared memory multiprocessors through software over a local area network to synthesize larger shared memory systems. Multiprocessors built in this fashion are called Distributed Scalable Shared memo...

In this paper, we describe an object-based distributed shared memory called Adsmith. In an object-based DSM, the shared memory consists of many shared objects , through which the shared memory is accessed. Adsmith is built on top of PVM at the library layer using C++. PVM is used as the communication subsystem because it is a de facto standard and encapsulates many system related details. Sever...

Aim of this paper is to present a self-testable FIFO memoN macrocell, which can be embedded into larger devices. A dual port RAM-Ope FIFO has been designed. A new test procedure for the macrocell has been defined aiming ar detecting all possible faults in the control logic and the RAM cell. Given such a test procedure the appropriate Built-h Self Test archirecture has been defined, independentl...

Increasing number of pins or gates in the latest LSI’s requires a lot of testing resources. The conventional scan-based testing requires a costly tester (ATE) equipped with a lot of pin electronics. Since reducing the testing cost is a crucial issue in industry, we have introduced an approach using scan-based logic BIST to solve this problem. The logic BIST has applied to many ASIC design chips...

We present the application of a deterministic logic BIST scheme on state-of-the-art industrial circuits. Experimental results show that complete fault coverage can be achieved for industrial circuits up to 100K gates with 10,000 test patterns, at a total area cost for BIST hardware of typically 5%-15%. It is demonstrated that a tradeoff is possible between test quality, test time, and silicon a...
