A Dynamic Instruction Set Computer (DISC) has been developed to support demand-driven instruction set mod-iication. Using partial reconnguration, DISC pages instruction modules in and out of an FPGA as demanded by the executing program. Instructions occupy FPGA resources only when needed and FPGA resources can be reused to implement an arbitrary number of performance-enhancing application-speci...

This research study explored the impact of learning styles and input modalities on the second language (L2) learners' input processing (IP). This study also sought to appraise the usefulness of Processing Instruction (PI) and its components in relation to the learners' learning styles and input modalities. To this end, 73 male and female Iranian EFL learners from Islamic Azad University, North ...

The “Good Enough” approach to language comprehension assumes that listeners do not always engage in full detailed processing of linguistic input. Rather, the system has a tendency to develop shallow and superficial representations when confronted with some difficulty. In this study, we investigated Good Enough processing using a challenging version of the Visual World Paradigm, in which partici...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this paper is to examine how to apply the science of learning to medical education. SCIENCE OF LEARNING The science of learning is the scientific study of how people learn. Multimedia learning - learning from words and pictures - is particularly relevant to medical education. The cognitive theory of multimedia learning is an information-processing explanation of how people...

The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) is based on the assumption that a decision maker is equally motivated to seek reward and avoid punishment, and that decision making is governed solely by the intertemporal attribute (i.e., preference for an option that produces an immediate outcome instead of one that yields a delayed outcome is believed to reflect risky decision making and is considered a deficit)....

PLX is a concise instruction set architecture (ISA) that combines the most useful features from previous generations of multimedia instruction sets with newer ISA features for high-performance, low-cost multimedia information processing. Unlike previous multimedia instruction sets, PLX is not added onto a base processor ISA, but designed from the beginning as a standalone processor architecture...

This paper represents the combination of Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) system using VHDL and implement. This paper presents a RISC processor designing to achieve various arithmetic operations. The RISC is a 20 bit processor. KeywordsArithmetic Logic(AL), Central Processing Unit(CPU), Control Unit(CU), Field Programmable Logic Array(FPGA), General Purpose Register(GPR), Program Counter...

MINI-GRAPH PROCESSING Anne Weinberger Bracy Amir Roth For years, single-thread performance was the most dominant force driving processor development. In recent years, however, the poor scaling of single-thread superscalar performance and power concerns coupled with the ever-increasing number of transistors available on chip has changed the focus from single-thread performance to thread-level pa...
