As more processing cores are added to embedded systems processors, the relationships between cores and memories have more influence on the energy consumption of the processor. In this paper, we conduct fundamental research to explore the effects of memory sharing on energy in a multicore processor. We study the Memory Arrangement (MA) Problem. We prove that the general case of MA is NP-complete...

The effect of intelligent semi-active thermal exchange-fuzzy controller in structural rehabilitation by attenuating seismic responses of structural systems is investigated. In the suggested control system, MR dampers and sensors are employed as a semi-active controller. Resultant control forces of MR damper are administrated by providing external voltage supply, during the earthquakes and high ...

Refer to Figure 1. A monotone matching is a set of n segments, each the portion of a unique pseudoline, and each spanning a unique slab, such that the left endpoint of each segment is above the right endpoint of the segment in the previous slab. In addition, the point on the first vertical line is below the left endpoint of the first segment, and the point on the last vertical line is above the...

Optimal arrangements of cartridges and file partitioning schemes are examined in carousel type mass storage systems using Markov decision theory. It is shown that the Organ-Pipe Arrangement is optimal under different storage configurations for both the anticipatory as well as the non-anticipatory versions of the problem. When requests arrive as per an arbitrary renewal process this arrangement ...

This thesis explores two specific topics of discrete geometry, the multitriangulations and the polytopal realizations of products, whose connection is the problem of finding polytopal realizations of a given combinatorial structure. A k-triangulation is a maximal set of chords of the convex n-gon such that no k+1 of them mutually cross. We propose a combinatorial and geometric study of multitri...
