High performance and low power FIR filter design based on sharing multiplication
Authors: Jongsun Park, Woopyo Jeong, Hunsoo Choo, Hamid Mahmoodi-Meimand, Yongtao Wang, Kaushik Roy
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

We present a high performance and low power FIR filter design, which is based on computation sharing multiplier (CSHM). CSHM specifically targets computation re-use in vector-scalar products and is effectively used in our FIR filter design. Efficient circuit level techniques: a new carry select adder and conditional capture flip-flop (CCFF), are also used to further improve power and performance. The proposed FIR filter architecture was implemented in 0.25 &mgr;m technology. Experimental results on a 10 tap low pass CSHM FIR filter show speed and power improvement of 19% and 17%, respectively, with respect to an FIR filter based on Wallace tree multiplier.
Don't Make Me Think!: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, 1st edition
Authors: Steve Krug
Venue:  (2000)

:Even if every Web site could afford a usability expert (which they can't), there just aren't enough of us to go around. So I tried to boil down what I've learned over the years (principles like "Don't make me think" and "Get rid of half the words on each page, then get rid of half of what's left") into a short, profusely illustrated book-one that even the guy who signs the checks (the one who looks at the site when it's ready to launch and says "I hate green. And there should be more big pictures.") might read.

Homogeneous Analytic Center Cutting Plane Methods for Convex Problems and Variational Inequalities
Authors: Yu. Nesterov, J.-Ph. Vial
Venue: SIAM Journal on Optimization (1999)

In this paper we consider a new analytic center cutting plane method in an extended space. We prove the efficiency estimates for the general scheme and show that these results can be used in the analysis of a feasibility problem, the variational inequality problem, and the problem of constrained minimization. Our analysis is valid even for problems whose solution belongs to the boundary of the domain.
Synthesis of Parallel Algorithms, 1st edition
Authors: John H. Reif
Venue:  (1993)

:This landmark collaboration will enhance the knowledge and abilities of anyone interested in parallel algorithms and in developing programs for parallel computers. Many problems currently solved with sequential algorithms are themselves highly parallelizable when designers use the powerful parallel techniques now available. These thorough but introductory presentations demonstrate the most important algorithmic techniques and their use in exposing the hidden parallelism within problems. Beginning with familiar sequential algorithms, the authors provide a careful description of the fundamental problem, its solution, and analysis--complete with examples and exercises. Each of the 22 chapters then synthesizes a more sophisticated parallel algorithm using the simpler sequential and parallel techniques used to introduce the problem. The PRAM shared-memory model of computing provides a unifying framework. This model has been used extensively for designing parallel algorithms and can be efficiently simulated on many of the parallel architectures now in use. Applying the methods in this book will offer designers a substantial advantage when solving problems for parallel computation.
Enumeration of Equicolorable Trees
Authors: Nicholas Pippenger
Venue: SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (2001)

A tree, being a connected acyclic graph, can be bicolored in two ways, which differ from each other by exchange of the colors. We shall say that a tree is equicolorable if these bicolorings assign the two colors to equal numbers of vertices. Labelled equicolored trees have been enumerated several times in the literature, and from this result it is easy to enumerate labelled equicolorable trees. The result is that the probability that a randomly chosen n-vertex labelled tree is equicolorable is asymptotically just twice the probability that its vertices would be equicolored if they were assigned colors by independent unbiased coin flips. Our goal in this paper is the enumeration of unlabelled equicolorable trees (that is, trees up to isomorphism), both exactly (in terms of generating functions) and asymptotically. We treat both the rooted and unrooted versions of this problem and conclude that in either case the probability that a randomly chosen n-vertex unlabelled tree is equicolorable is asymptotically 1.40499... times as large as the probability that it would be equicolored if its vertices were assigned colors by independent unbiased coin flips.

Squeezable Orthogonal Bases: Accuracy and Smoothness
Authors: George C. Donovan, Jeffrey S. Geronimo, Douglas P. Hardin
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2002)

We present a method for generating local orthogonal bases on arbitrary partitions of R from a given local orthogonal shift-invariant basis via what we call a squeeze map. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a squeeze map to generate a nonuniform basis that preserves any smoothness and/or accuracy (polynomial reproduction) of the shift-invariant basis. When the shift-invariant basis has sufficient smoothness or accuracy, there is a unique squeeze map associated with a given partition that preserves this property and, in this case, the squeeze map may be calculated locally in terms of the ratios of adjacent intervals. If both the smoothness and accuracy are large enough, then the resulting nonuniform space contains the nonuniform spline space characterized by that smoothness and accuracy.Our examples include a multiresolution on nonuniform partitions such that each space has a local orthogonal basis consisting of continuous piecewise quadratic functions. We also construct a family of smooth, local, orthogonal, piecewise polynomial generators with arbitrary approximation order.

That one there! Pointing to establish device identity
Authors: Colin Swindells, Kori M. Inkpen, John C. Dill, Melanie Tory
Venue: Proceedings of the 15th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2002)

Computing devices within current work and play environments are relatively static. As the number of 'networked' devices grows, and as people and their devices become more dynamic, situations will commonly arise where users will wish to use 'that device there' instead of navigating through traditional user interface widgets such as lists. This paper describes a process for identifying devices through a pointing gesture using custom tags and a custom stylus called the gesturePen. Implementation details for this system are provided along with qualitative and quantitative results from a formal user study. As ubiquitous computing environments become more pervasive, people will rapidly switch their focus between many computing devices. The results of our work demonstrate that our gesturePen method can improve the user experience in ubiquitous environments by facilitating significantly faster interactions between computing devices.

Hardware-software cosynthesis for microcontrollers
Authors: Rolf Ernst, Jörg Henkel, Thomas Benner
Venue: Readings in hardware/software co-design (2001)

The authors present a software-oriented approach to hardware-software partitioning, which avoids restrictions on the software semantics, and an iterative partitioning process based on " hardware extraction" controlled by a cast function. This process is used in Cosyma, an experimental cosynthesis system for embedded controllers. As an example, the authors demonstrate the extraction of coprocessors for loops. They present results for several benchmark designs.
High-performance hardware design and implementation of genetic algorithms
Authors: Barry Shackleford, Etsuko Okushi, Mitsuhiro Yasuda, Hisao Koizumi, Katsuhiko Seo, Takahashi Iwamoto, Hiroto Yasuura
Venue: Hardware implementation of intelligent systems (2001)

In this chapter, we present a survival-based, steady-state GA designed for efficient implementation in hardware and the design of a pipelined genetic algorithm processor that can generate one new, evaluated chromosome per machine cycle. High performance is obtained by implementing the functions of parent selection, crossover, mutation, evaluation, and survival in hardware in such a manner that each function can be executed in a single machine cycle. When these hardware functions are connected in a linear pipeline (much the same as an assembly line), the net result is the generation a new child chromosome on each machine cycle. The key features of the survival-based, steady-state GA are low selection pressure due to random parent selection, steady-state population maintenance, and replacement of randomly discovered, lesser-fit chromosomes by more-fit offspring. A GA machine prototype is also presented, running at 1 MHz and generating one million new chromosomes per second.
High performance computing through parallel processing
Authors: Martin Barghoorn
Venue: Proceedings of the international conference on APL-Berlin-2000 conference (2000)

At the department for computer science of the Technical University of Berlin a workstation network based on Unix was established in the early Nineties as a substitute for the mainframe architecture.In order to satisfy the demand for DOS/Windows a PC-network was also installed. Shortly thereafter, however, the demand for constant control and limitation of the users' space arose. Furthermore the task for administrators to manage large groups of users or several disks under the NT-Server became increasingly important.As a member of the system administration group I got the job of testing the already existing programs as well as developing new ones for these purposes. At very first I had to learn that the Unix-command "du" (disk use) does unfortunately not exist on NT.On the one hand, we started with a modified PERL-program that needed several hours to run. Nor was a DOS/REXX Program more successful in terms of satisfactory performance. On the other hand, I tried to solve the service tasks more rapidly by using a sequential APL2 program combined with AP 100. Finally, I achieved the best results with a parallely designed APL2 program which I will introduce below in "Documentation with some explanation".
Coupling Spectral and Finite Elements for Second Order Elliptic Three-Dimensional Equations
Authors: Faker Ben Belgacem, Yvon Maday
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (1999)

This paper deals with the approximation of elliptic second order problems with a nonconforming domain decomposition method that allows for coupling spectral and finite element discretizations in three dimensions. We present two kinds of matching conditions at the interfaces between the subdomains. The detailed numerical analysis of the error committed upon the exact solution turns out to be optimal. We describe also the implementation and give some numerical results confirming the theoretical predictions.

Asymptotically optimal geometric mobile ad-hoc routing
Authors: Fabian Kuhn, Roger Wattenhofer, Aaron Zollinger
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th international workshop on Discrete algorithms and methods for mobile computing and communications (2002)

In this paper we present AFR, a new geometric mobile ad-hoc routing algorithm. The algorithm is completely distributed; nodes need to communicate only with direct neighbors in their transmission range. We show that if a best route has cost c, AFR finds a route and terminates with cost &Ogr;(c2) in the worst case. AFR is the first algorithm with cost bounded by a function of the optimal route. We also give a tight lower bound by showing that any geometric routing algorithm has worst-case cost $Ogr;(c2). Thus AFR is asymptotically optimal. We give a non-geometric algorithm that also matches the lower bound, but needs some memory at each node. This establishes an intriguing trade-off between geometry and memory.
Adaptive Finite Element Methods for Optimal Control of Partial Differential Equations: Basic Concept
Authors: Roland Becker, Hartmut Kapp, Rolf Rannacher
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

A new approach to error control and mesh adaptivity is described for the discretization of optimal control problems governed by elliptic partial differential equations. The Lagrangian formalism yields the first-order necessary optimality condition in form of an indefinite boundary value problem which is approximated by an adaptive Galerkin finite element method. The mesh design in the resulting reduced models is controlled by residual-based a posteriori error estimates. These are derived by duality arguments employing the cost functional of the optimization problem for controlling the discretization error. In this case, the computed state and costate variables can be used as sensitivity factors multiplying the local cell-residuals in the error estimators. This results in a generic and simple algorithm for mesh adaptation within the optimization process. This method is developed and tested for simple boundary control problems in semiconductor models.
