The continuing rapid development of computer hardware over the years has been both a blessing to the user who sees his computing power increase and cost decrease over time, and a disappointment to those who have found that the cost of converting existing software outweighs the advantages of the new machines. For any proposed change of hardware, there are at least three options whose cost the us...

SO, WON. Software Thread Integration for Converting TLP to ILP on VLIW/EPIC Architectures. (Under the direction of Alexander G. Dean.) Multimedia applications are pervasive in modern systems. They generally require a significantly higher level of performance than previous workloads of embedded systems. They have driven digital signal processor makers to adopt high-performance architectures like...

Wide range level shifters are a fast energy efficient converter capable of converting low voltage to high voltage. Level Shifters are used to shift the voltage from one level to another level. Multi voltage system utilizes the advantage of level shifter. Multi voltage systems consist of low voltage as well as high voltage. Existing method was implemented by using LVT (Low Threshold Voltage Tran...

Growing Cell Structures (GCS) have been proven to be suitable for surface reconstruction from unstructured point clouds. The reconstructed triangle mesh can be represented compactly as a progressive mesh with integrated level of detail by storing only vertex split operations. However, half-edge collapse operations are used for GCS. In this paper, we present an improvement to a GCS-based surface...
