Network merges and partitions occur quite often in MANET wherein address auto-configuration is a critical requirement. There are various approaches for address auto-configuration in MANETs which allocate address to the nodes in a dynamic and distributed manner in which HOST ID and MANET ID are assigned on the basis of their Base value. MANET merges and partitions employing Cluster Based Routing...

In this paper, we propose an FPGA cluster infrastructure, which can be utilized in implementing cryptanalytic attacks and accelerating cryptographic operations. The cluster can be formed using simple and inexpensive, off-the-shelf FPGA boards featuring an FPGA device, local storage, CPLD, and network connection. Forming the cluster is simple and no effort for the hardware development is needed ...

A single wafer processing IC fabrication with flexible and distributed configuration is getting more important. The cluster tool is such an IC fabrication equipment. It consists of the cassette module, transport module, and process module. In this paper, the model of a cluster tool is constructed using distributed colored timed Petri net (DCTPN). The emulator and controller of the cluster tool ...

Clusters of Hall thrusters are being considered for use on a variety of missions requiring electric propulsion systems capable of operating at power levels in excess of the current state of the art. One of the key factors to be considered in determining the optimum cluster architecture is the configuration of the electron-emitting cathode(s). This work presents experimentally determined plume p...

Cluster interactions are imperative in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET). Multicast is an proficient technique for implementing cluster connections. However, it is exigent to execute competent and scalable multicast in MANET due to the intricacy in faction association supervision and multicast packet forwarding over a dynamic topology. We intend a novel Efficient Geographic Multicast Protocol (EGM...

No single encoding scheme or fault model is optimal for all data. A versatile storage system allows them to be matched to access patterns, reliability requirements, and cost goals on a per-data item basis. Ursa Minor is a cluster-based storage system that allows data-specific selection of, and on-line changes to, encoding schemes and fault models. Thus, different data types can share a scalable...

We present a detailed description of the generalized geometric cluster algorithm for the efficient simulation of continuum fluids. The connection with well-known cluster algorithms for lattice spin models is discussed, and an explicit full cluster decomposition is derived for a particle configuration in a fluid. We investigate a number of basic properties of the geometric cluster algorithm, inc...

In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of Fellowship, a 300+ CPU, general use computing cluster based on FreeBSD. We address the design features including configuration management, network booting of nodes, and scheduling which make this cluster unique and how FreeBSD helped (and hindered) our efforts to make this design a reality.

A cluster algorithm is presented for the Z 2 Kalb-Ramond plaquette model in four dimensions which dramatically reduces critical slowing. The critical exponent z is reduced from z > 2 (standard Metropolis algorithm) to z = 0.32 ± 0.06. The Cluster algorithm updates the monopole configuration known to be responsible for the second order phase transition.

We report here a benchmark study on the bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S(N)2) reaction between hydride and methane, for which we have obtained reference energies at the coupled cluster toward full configuration-interaction limit (CC-cf/CBS). Several wavefunction (HF, MP2, coupled cluster) and density functional methods are compared for their reliability regarding these reference data.
