This paper presents a network with earliest deadline first (EDF) scheduling on a per slot basis. The network is called CCR-EDF (Control Channel based Ring network with EDF scheduling). The topology is a pipelined unidirectional fibre-ribbon ring that supports several simultaneous transmissions in non-overlapping segments and with dedicated fibres for clock and arbitration. In each slot the node...

The increasing demand for portable computing has elevated power consumption to be one of the most critical parameters for execution of loops which constitute most of the computation of scientific applications. The reduction of a schedule length is usually considered to be opposite to the reduction of power. This paper presents a novel loop pipelining approach to reduce power consumption while r...

In this thesis, a cross layer network design approach using effective MAC layer and optimal Network layer design has been proposed and implemented to improve the performance of the wireless networks. For this purpose, new MAC design principles have been proposed for effective scheduling and channel allocation where pipelining techniques proposed for improving 1 / 4

A new methodology named CALMANT (CC-cube Algorithms on Meshes and Tori) for mapping a kind of algorithms that we call CC-cube algorithm onto multicomputers with hypercube, mesh, or torus interconnection topology is proposed. This methodology is suitable when the initial problem can be expressed as a set of processes that communicate through a hypercube topology (a CC-cube algorithm). There are ...

We would like to thank Adisak Mekkittikul for help and numerous discussions about the scheduler design, particularly with the pipelining technique described on page 2. 11 References [1] http://tiny-tera.stanford.edu/tiny-tera [2] N.McKeown, " Scheduling Cells in an input-queued switch, " PhD Thesis,

Software pipelining has become a very extended loop execution model since microprocessors include more functional units. Scheduling techniques developed for software pipeline a loop have to look for heuristics, thus they achieve the optimal scheduling only in some cases. In this paper we present another software pipelining approach based on a methodology that divides the scheduling problem in t...

Compared with traditional video streaming server, streaming on multi-core platform has many advantages: flexible and configurable on the number of executing core according to system requirements; fault-tolerant; and fitting well to future process technologies, more cores will be available in advanced process technologies, meanwhile the complexity per core does not increase. In this paper, we fo...

Spatial information has always played an important role in the pipeline route selection process (Opara, 2013). The use of geographic information systems (GIS) to support the pipeline route selection has extensively been discussed (Church, 1992), and it continues to be an area of research as GIS technologies continue to evolve, data availability improves, and the criteria or conditions (terrain,...

Large deformation causing damage due to uplift force is generated in buried pipeline located in shallow trenches in marshes and saturated soils. In this paper, existing common methods of pipeline anchorage are discussed and considering advantages and disadvantages of these methods, a new method of pipeline anchorage are studied and presented. In this new developed method, geo-textile materials ...

Dyson spheres are hypothetical megastructures encircling stars in order to harvest most of their energy output. During the 11th edition GTOC challenge, participants were tasked with a complex trajectory planning related construction precursor structure, heliocentric ring made twelve stations. To this purpose, we developed several new approaches that synthesize techniques from machine learning, ...
