Existing techniques in high-level synthesis mostly assume a simple controller architecture model in the form of a single FSM. However, in reality more complex controller architectures are often used. On the other hand, in the case of programmable processors, the controller architecture is largely defined by the available control-flow instructions in the instruction set. With the wider acceptanc...

Radiologists generally use multiple mammographic views to detect and characterize suspicious regions. When radiologists discover a suspicious lesion in one view, they try to find a corresponding lesion in the other views. Views from different projections, typically cranio caudal (CC) and medio lateral oblique (MLO) views, allow for a better realization of the lesion. Most current computer aided...

 Conventional CAD systems have not yet proven their ability to provide support for activities which characterise the early conceptual phase of design. We propose to refer to this set of capabilities of the human designer in conventional design as, design prototyping. We define the theoretical limitations of current CAD systems for supporting design prototyping, and postulate the potential of f...

With the rapid development of China’s construction industry, higher requirements have been placed on design and HVAC engineering. As most critical aspect building design, will to some extent affect comfort buildings. BIM technology, as a new architectural can convert planar CAD drawings into three-dimensional models, playing very important auxiliary role in design. This article introduce concep...

In 1975, Orci et al. (1) reported that human islet cells contain specialized membrane domains that are compatible with the ultrastructural features of two types of intercellular junctions: tight junctions and gap junctions. Since then, numerous reports have demonstrated critical functions for these cell–cell junctional complexes in islet cells (2–8). Eventually, a number of proteins were identi...

The use of CAD in architectural practice and education has drawn fierce criticism recent years, according to literature. mental efficacy modern students institutions and, primarily, practicing architects was thought be negatively impacted. Contrary the prevalent using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) design process, earlier method drafting positioned favorably. This study is a moralist polemicist ag...

An 8-point Fourier-cosine transform chip designed for a data rate of 100 Mbits/s is described. The top-down design is presented step by step, including algorithm modification for VLSI suitability, architectural choices, testing overhead, internal precision assignments, mask generation,, and finally, verification of the layout. A high-level language (C) design tool was developed concurrently wit...

In this paper, we present a fast and eficient compilation methodology for pipeline reconfigurable architectures. Our compiler back-end is much faster than conventional CAD tools, and fairly eficient. W e represent pipeline reconfigurable architectures by a generalized VLI W-like model. The complex architectural constraints are effectively expressed in terms of a single graph parameter: the rout...

This paper from the Berkeley BRASS group was all about performance: Is it possible to design an FPGA architecture that can compete with processors and ASICs in terms of clock frequency? FPGAs were (and still are) running at 5x – 10x slower clock frequency, largely due to the effect of configurability on both logic and interconnect delay. Von Herzen’s [1997] paper provided a sense of what was po...
