Application-Specific Instruction (ASI ) set Processors (ASIP) have become an important design choice for embedded systems due to runtime flexibility, which cannot be provided by custom ASIC solutions. One major bottleneck in maximizing ASIP performance is the limitation on the data bandwidth between the General Purpose Register File (GPRF) and ASIs. This paper presents the Implicit Registers (I...

Speakers routinely gesture with their hands when they talk, and those gestures often convey information not found anywhere in their speech. This information is typically not consciously accessible, yet it provides an early sign that the speaker is ready to learn a particular task (S. Goldin-Meadow, 2003). In this sense, the unwitting gestures that speakers produce reveal their implicit knowledg...

This pilot study aimed to investigate the effects of two classroom instructions on complexity, accuracy, and fluency EFL learners’ speaking. The first one involved implicit task-based instruction with meaning-focused pedagogic tasks. second reduced practice time but complemented it explicit strategy-based (SBI) raise their metacognitive awareness in planning, monitoring, evaluating speech. Part...

The communicative approach in foreign language instruction arguably is supposed to approximate a real-world setting to certain extent; but, it all too often falls short of providing a realistic context for the language to be used in all its possible variations. The fact that languages are dynamic and change is rarely recognized outside of the classroom due to the static nature of texts and pre-...

Recent developments in cognitive linguistics have highlighted the importance and the ubiquity of metaphors in language. Their effect has been instrumental in making significant headway into the pedagogical practice and design of teaching materials. The current study was carried out to explore the efficacy of focus-on-form (FonF) and focus-on-forms (FonFs) instructions on learning metaphorical l...

The performance of scientific computing applications often achieves a small fraction of peak performance [7,17]. In this paper, we discuss two causes of performance problems— insufficient memory bandwidth and a suboptimal instruction mix—in the context of a complete, parallel, unstructured mesh implicit CFD code. These results show that the performance of our code and of similar implicit codes ...
