A coverage-preserving node scheduling scheme for large wireless sensor networks
Authors: Di Tian, Nicolas D. Georganas
Venue: Proceedings of the 1st ACM international workshop on Wireless sensor networks and applications (2002)

In wireless sensor networks that consist of a large number of low-power, short-lived, unreliable sensors, one of the main design challenges is to obtain long system lifetime, as well as maintain sufficient sensing coverage and reliability. In this paper, we propose a node-scheduling scheme, which can reduce system overall energy consumption, therefore increasing system lifetime, by turning off some redundant nodes. Our coverage-based off-duty eligibility rule and backoff-based node-scheduling scheme guarantees that the original sensing coverage is maintained after turning off redundant nodes. We implement our proposed scheme in NS-2 as an extension of the LEACH protocol. We compare the energy consumption of LEACH with and without the extension and analyze the effectiveness of our scheme in terms of energy saving. Simulation results show that our scheme can preserve the system coverage to the maximum extent. In addition, after the node-scheduling scheme turns off some nodes, certain redundancy is still guaranteed, which we believe can provide enough sensing reliability in many applications.

A history-based I-cache for low-energy multimedia applications
Authors: Koji Inoue, V. G. Moshnyaga, K. Murakami
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

This paper proposes a history-based tag-comparison scheme for reducing energy consumption of direct-mapped instruction caches. The proposed cache efficiently exploits program-execution footprints recorded in the Branch Target Buffer (BTB), and attempts to detect and eliminate unnecessary tag checks at run time. Simulation results show that our approach can eliminate up to 95% of tag checks, saving the cache energy by 17%, while affecting the processor performance by only 0.2%.

Input and output
Venue: ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad (1983)

A user interacts with an APL system through a session, an abstraction that represents a hypothetical machine capable of carrying out the evaluation sequences in this standard.The protocol for the use of a session takes the form of a dialogue: the user makes an entry and passes control to the APL system. The system processes the entry, produces a response, and returns control to the user.The user makes entries on a keyboard, and obtains responses by seeing them presented on a display-device. The combination of a keyboard and a display-device is intended to represent, abstractly, a terminal. This standard does not require the use of any particular terminal, keyboard, display or method of encoding characters. The ISO 2022.2 APL character encoding reproduced in Appendix A is widely used.The display-device is considered a window into a presentation-space, an unbounded sequence of past entries and responses. The mapping between the presentation-space and the display-device is not specified by this standard.The system obtains entries as tokens of class constant or interrupt by calling the session operation read-keyboard. It presents responses by calling the session operation display with a token of class result. The transformations from entry to token and from token to response are not specified by this standard, but certain desirable characteristics of these transformations are given as comments.Because the dialog protocol described here alternates between user and system, the session is always in one of two logical keyboard-states, open-keyboard or locked-keyboard, depending upon whether the user is making an entry or the system is producing a response. The user can request a change in keyboard-state from locked-keyboard to open-keyboard by using the signal-attention facility. In addition, the user can force a change in keyboard-state by signalling interrupt. The ACM Portal is published by the Association for Computing Machinery. Copyright © 2010 ACM, Inc.

Robust Eigenstructure Assignment in Quadratic Matrix Polynomials: Nonsingular Case
Authors: N. K. Nichols, J. Kautsky
Venue: SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications (2001)

Feedback design for a second-order control system leads to an eigenstructure assignment problem for a quadratic matrix polynomial. It is desirable that the feedback controller not only assigns specified eigenvalues to the second-order closed loop system but also that the system is robust, or insensitive to perturbations. We derive here new sensitivity measures, or condition numbers, for the eigenvalues of the quadratic matrix polynomial and define a measure of the robustness of the corresponding system. We then show that the robustness of the quadratic inverse eigenvalue problem can be achieved by solving a generalized linear eigenvalue assignment problem subject to structured perturbations. Numerically reliable methods for solving the structured generalized linear problem are developed that take advantage of the special properties of the system in order to minimize the computational work required. In this part of the work we treat the case where the leading coefficient matrix in the quadratic polynomial is nonsingular, which ensures that the polynomial is regular. In a second part, we will examine the case where the open loop matrix polynomial is not necessarily regular.

A multiplatform/multilanguage client/server project
Authors: William Shay
Venue: Proceedings of the 33rd SIGCSE technical symposium on Computer science education (2002)

This paper introduces a more general client/server example than is typically described. Whereas many client/server examples often involve communication between two C programs or two Java programs, this paper describes a program demo containing two clients (one in C and one in Java) and two servers (one in C and one in Java). Furthermore, either client is capable of connecting to and downloading a file from either server using a socket connection over the TCP/IP protocol. None of these programs make any assumptions regarding what language or platform supports the program at the remote end.

Integral Operators on Sparse Grids
Authors: S. Knapek, F. Koster
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

In this paper we are concerned with the construction and use of wavelet approximation spaces for the fast evaluation of integral expressions. The spaces are based on biorthogonal anisotropic tensor product wavelets. We introduce sparse grid (hyperbolic cross) approximation spaces which are adapted not only to the smoothness of the kernel but also to the norm in which the error is measured. Furthermore, we introduce compression schemes for the corresponding discretizations. Numerical examples for the Laplace equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions and an additional integral term with a smooth kernel demonstrate the validity of our theoretical results.

Discharge current steering for battery lifetime optimization
Authors: Luca Benini, Alberto Macii, Enrico Macii, Massimo Poncino
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

Recent work on battery-driven power management has demonstrated that sequential discharge is suboptimal in multi-battery systems, and lifetime can be maximized by distributing (steering) the current load on the available batteries, thereby discharging them in a partially concurrent fashion. Based on these observations, we formulate multi-battery lifetime maximization as a continuous, constrained optimization problem, which can be efficiently solved by non-linear optimizers. We show that great lifetime extensions can be obtained with respect to standard sequential discharge, as well to previously proposed battery allocation schemes.
Handling long-latency loads in a simultaneous multithreading processor
Authors: Dean M. Tullsen, Jeffery A. Brown
Venue: Proceedings of the 34th annual ACM/IEEE international symposium on Microarchitecture (2001)

Simultaneous multithreading architectures have been defined previously with fully shared execution resources. When one thread in such an architecture experiences a very long-latency operation, such as a load miss, the thread will eventually stall, potentially holding resources which other threads could be using to make forward progress.This paper shows that in many cases it is better to free the resources associated with a stalled thread rather than keep that thread ready to immediately begin execution upon return of the loaded data. Several possible architectures are examined, and some simple solutions are shown to be very effective, achieving speedups close to 6.0 in some cases, and averaging 15% speedup with four threads and over 100% speedup with two threads running. Response times are cut in half for several workloads in open system experiments.
