Fast CORDIC Algorithm Based on a New Recoding Scheme for Rotation Angles and Variable Scale Factors
Authors: Jen-Chuan Chih, Sau-Gee Chen
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2002)

This work proposes a new rotation mode CORDIC algorithm, which considerably reduces the iteration number. It is achieved by combining several design techniques. Particularly, a new table-lookup recoding scheme for rotation angles and variable scale factors is developed to reduce the iteration numbers for rotation and scale factor compensation. By addressing the MSB parts of the residual rotation angles to a lookup table, two micro rotation angles are retrieved that in combination best matches the MSB parts. We also combine the leading-one bit detection operations for residual rotation angles, to skip unnecessary rotations. The resulting problems of variable scale factors are then solved by our previous fast decomposition and compensation algorithm (C.C. Li and S.G. Chen, in Proceedings of 1996 IEEE International Symposium Circuits and Systems, May 1996, Atlanta, USA, pp. 264&ndash;267&semi; C.C. Li and S.G. Chen, in Proceedings of 1997 IEEE International Conference on Acoustic, Speech and Signal Processing, Munich, 1997, Germany, pp. 639&ndash;642). To further reduce the iteration number of scale factor compensation, we again apply the mentioned residual recoding technique and the leading-one bit detection scheme to the fast variable scale factor algorithm. Those techniques collectively reduce the iteration number significantly. Simulations show that in average the new design needs only 9.78 iterations to generate results with 22-bit accuracy, including all the iterations for rotations and scale factor compensations. Statistically, the total iteration number is less than n/2 for results with n-bit accuracy. The introduced extra table size is of the same order of magnitude as that for the angle set &lcub;tan&minus;1 2&minus;i, i &equals; 0,1,&hellip;,n&rcub;, required by general CORDIC algorithms. The new recoding scheme can be applied to other elementary function such as division and square-root functions.

A Central-Difference Scheme for a Pure Stream Function Formulation of Incompressible Viscous Flow
Authors: Raz Kupferman
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2001)

We present a numerical scheme for incompressible viscous flow, formulated as an equation for the stream function. The pure stream function formulation obviates the difficulty associated with vorticity boundary conditions. The resulting biharmonic equation is discretized with a compact scheme and solved with an algebraic multigrid solver. The advection of vorticity is implemented with a high-resolution central scheme that remains stable and accurate in the presence of large gradients. The accuracy and robustness of the method are demonstrated for high Reynolds number flows in a lid-driven cavity.

Analysis of composite synchronization
Authors: David Nicol
Venue: Proceedings of the sixteenth workshop on Parallel and distributed simulation (2002)

Composite synchronization is a new algorithm that combines localized asynchronous coordination, with a global synchronization window. It was developed to simultaneously address the vulnerability of local synchronization to high model connectivity, and the vulnerability that a global window approach has to a very small minimal channel delay. Under composite synchronization, every channel is classified as being either synchronous or asynchronous; the behavior of the algorithm is then determined by the assignment. In an earlier work we proposed the algorithm, and showed that the channel assignment which minimizes the sum of all synchronization overhead, on an architecture with uniform memory access costs, has a threshold structure. The current paper extends that work, showing how speedup depends upon model topology, and that the assignment which maximizes speedup on a multi-cost memory system likewise has a threshold structure, but need not be exactly the same policy as that which minimizes total overhead.

On-the-Fly Range Reduction
Authors: Vincent Lefèvre, Jean-Michel Muller
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2002)

In several cases, the input argument of an elementary function evaluation is given bit-serially, most significant bit first.

Boom chameleon: simultaneous capture of 3D viewpoint, voice and gesture annotations on a spatially-aware display
Authors: Michael Tsang, George W. Fitzmaurice, Gordon Kurtenbach, Azam Khan, Bill Buxton
Venue: Proceedings of the 15th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology (2002)

We introduce the Boom Chameleon, a novel input/output device consisting of a flat-panel display mounted on a tracked mechanical boom. The display acts as a physical window into 3D virtual environments, through which a one-to-one mapping between real and virtual space is preserved. The Boom Chameleon is further augmented with a touch-screen and a microphone/speaker combination. We present a 3D annotation application that exploits this unique configuration in order to simultaneously capture viewpoint, voice and gesture information. Design issues are discussed and results of an informal user study on the device and annotation software are presented. The results show that the Boom Chameleon annotation facilities have the potential to be an effective, easy to learn and operate 3D design review system.

Formal methods for performance evaluation
Authors: Ulrich Herzog
Venue: Lectures on formal methods and performance analysis: first EEF/Euro summer school on trends in computer science (2002)

The main goal of this contribution is to advocate the increased use of formal methods (FM) in the field of performance evaluation (PE). Moreover, we try to reduce the mutual reservations between both areas, formal specification techniques and performance evaluation since both can profit from such an integration: FMs may find their way into a new and very attractive area of applications and some fundamental problems of PE may be overcome. The first part summarizes the evolution of PE, its methodology and the basic concepts of performance modeling and analysis, elaborated in specific contributions of this book. Classical modeling and analysis techniques have a high standard and have been quite successful. However, there are important problem classes still open, and there are some fundamental deficiencies: Task interdependencies and synchronization, interfacing in modeling hierarchies, methods and tools for automating the performance engineering process are typical examples. We therefore advocate the integration of FMs and PE and survey three advanced approaches, again, treated in detail in specific contributions: Stochastic Petri-Nets, Stochastic Activity Networks and Stochastic Process Algebras. We try to summarize our own experience with these techniques and conclude with a list of challenging topics and current research directions.

Jeremiah: the face of computer vision
Authors: Richard Bowden, Pakorn Kaewtrakulpong, Martin Lewin
Venue: Proceedings of the 2nd international symposium on Smart graphics (2002)

This paper presents a humanoid computer interface (Jeremiah) that is capable of extracting moving objects from a video stream and responding by directing the gaze of an animated head toward it. It further responds through change of expression reflecting the emotional state of the system as a response to stimuli. As such, the system exhibits similar behavior to a child. The system was originally designed as a robust visual tracking system capable of performing accurately and consistently within a real world visual surveillance arena. As such, it provides a system capable of operating reliably in any environment both indoor and outdoor. Originally designed as a public interface to promote computer vision and the public understanding of science (exhibited in British Science Museum), Jeremiah provides the first step to a new form of intuitive computer interface.
