HA2TSD: hierarchical time slack distribution for ultra-low power CMOS VLSI
Authors: Kyu-won Choi, Abhijit Chatterjee
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

This paper describes an efficient hierarchical design and optimization approach for ultra-low power CMOS logic circuits. We introduce the Hierarchical Activity-Aware Time Slack Distribution (HA2TSD) algorithm, which distributes the surplus time slack into the most power-hungry modules hierarchically. HA2TSD ensures that the total slack budget is maximal and the total power is near-minimal. Based on these time slacks, we have optimized technology parameters (supply voltage, threshold voltage, and device width) through a gate-level power optimizer and have tested the algorithm on a set of benchmark example circuits and building blocks of a synthesizable ARM core. The experimental results show that our strategy delivers over an order of magnitude savings in total (static and dynamic) power and reduces the optimization run-time significantly.

Topology control and routing in ad hoc networks: a survey
Authors: Rajmohan Rajaraman
Venue: ACM SIGACT News (2002)

An ad hoc wireless network, or simply an ad hoc network, consists of a collection of geographically distributed nodes that communicate with one other over a wireless medium. An ad hoc network differs from cellular networks in that there is no wired infrastructure and the communication capabilities of the network are limited by the battery power of the network nodes. One of the original motivations for ad hoc networks is found in military applications. A classic example of ad hoc networking is network of war fighters and their mobile platforms in battlefields. Indeed, a wealth of early research in the area involved the development of packet-radio networks (PRNs) and survivable radio networks [16]. While military applications still dominate the research needs in ad hoc networking, the recent rapid advent of mobile telephony and plethora of personal digital assistants has brought to the fore a number of potential commercial applications of ad hoc networks. Examples are disaster relief, conferencing, home networking, sensor networks, personal area networks, and embedded computing applications [37].The lack of a fixed infrastructure in ad hoc networks implies that any computation on the network needs to be carried out in a decentralized manner. Thus, many of the important problems in ad hoc networking can be formulated as problems in distributed computing. However, there are certain characteristics of ad hoc networks that makes this study somewhat different than traditional work in distributed computing. In this article, we review some of the characteristic features of ad hoc networks, formulate problems and survey research work done in the area. We focus on two basic problem domains: topology control, the problem of computing and maintaining a connected topology among the network nodes, and routing. This article is not intended to be a comprehensive survey on ad hoc networking. The choice of the problems discussed in this article are somewhat biased by the research interests of the author.The remainder of this article is organized as follows. In Section 2, we describe various aspects relevant to modeling ad hoc networks. In Section 3, we discuss topology control. Since the nodes of an ad hoc network are often associated with points in 2-dimensional space, topology control is closely tied to computational geometry; we will briefly review this relationship and extant work in the area. In Section 4, we discuss routing protocols for ad hoc networks. After a brief overview of the many protocols that have been proposed, we discuss alternative approaches based on the adversarial network model.

The undecidability of associativity and commutativity analysis
Authors: Arthur Charlesworth
Venue: ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems (TOPLAS) (2002)

Associativity is required for the use of general scans and reductions in parallel languages. Some systems also require functions used with scans and reductions to be commutative. We prove the undecidability of both associativity and commutativity. Thus, it is impossible in general for a compiler to check for those conditions. We also prove the stronger result that the resulting relations fail to be recursively enumerable. We prove that these results hold for the kind of function subprograms of practical interest in such a situation: function subprograms that, due to syntactical restrictions, are guaranteed to halt. Thus, our results are stronger than one can obtain from Rice's Theorem. We also obtain limitations concerning the construction of functions and limitations concerning compiler-generated run-time checks. In addition, we prove an undecidability result about programmer-constructed run-time checks.

MPEG-7 and multimedia database systems
Authors: Harald Kosch
Venue: ACM SIGMOD Record (2002)

The Multimedia Description Standard MPEG-7 is an International Standard since February 2002. It defines a huge set of description classes for multimedia content, for its creation and its communication. This article investigates what MPEG-7 means to Multimedia Database Systems (MMDBSs) and vice versa. We argue that MPEG-7 has to be considered complementary to, rather than competing with, data models employed in MMDBSs. Finally we show by an example scenario how these technologies can reasonably complement one another.

In the last few years our knowledge about how to develop large complex web systems have grown rapidly. In this paper we attempt to arrange this knowledge into a schema based on how our knowledge gets matured as we get more experience in developing large complex web systems. Based on this we propose a systematic approach to developing large complex web systems. We call this body of knowledge consisting of technologies, methodologies and standards that enable us to successfully develop large complex web systems Web Engineering.
New Masters of Flash with CD-ROM
Authors: Yugo Nakamura, Joel Baumann, Joshua Davies
Venue:  (2000)

From the Book:This book was conceived in February 2000. The plan from the start has been to provide two books in one - a book of highly individual essays about design, and alongside it a compendium of well-paced, advanced tutorials in the art of Flash design pushed to the edge. These two books we've interpolated, chapter by chapter, so that the author of each essay, after talking about their influences and design vision, their inspirations and intentions ("all the arty bollox" as Brendan Dawes so succinctly described it when we first called him) then moves directly into professor mode and shows exactly how you can create the effects they've pioneered and refined. So is it a book to read from cover-to-cover or a volume of reference and inspiration for dipping in and out of? Well naturally it's both. But there's also a third way you can juice the material within these covers. Enter Sham Bhangal, household god at friends of ED, and consultant throughout this project. He's written a topic map (see opposite) of the New Masters of Flash, grouping chapters thematically and explaining how you can carry on with a particular subject thread by jumping across to related chapters. It could almost be a case-study in how hypertext can't be made to work in print but Deborah has also laid the book out so that the tutorial sections follow a uniform pattern and color-scheme, making it easier to move from one technical section to another. One last thing. Extending and souping up Flash design to yet higher realms of fantasy and wild interactivity seems to be accelerating by the day. If you want to nominate yourself or someone else for consideration as a writer/contributoron the next volume of New Masters of Flash, please get in touch with us through the website. We'd also like to say here that for reasons of space and time (i.e. pagecount and deadlines) some of our favourite New Masters had to be iced at unforeseen stages in the edit process. We're looking forward to them flashing brighter still in the next edition.

Parallel Complexity of Computations with General and Toeplitz-Like Matrices Filled with Integers and Extensions
Authors: Victor Y. Pan
Venue: SIAM Journal on Computing (2000)

Computations with Toeplitz and Toeplitz-like matrices are fundamental for many areas of algebraic and numerical computing. The list of computational problems reducible to Toeplitz and Toeplitz-like computations includes, in particular, the evaluation of the greatest common divisor (gcd), the least common multiple (lcm), and the resultant of two polynomials, computing Padé approximation and the Berlekamp--Massey recurrence coefficients, as well as numerous problems reducible to these. Transition to Toeplitz and Toeplitz-like computations is currently the basis for the design of the parallel randomized NC (RNC) algorithms for these computational problems. Our main result is in constructing nearly optimal randomized parallel algorithms for Toeplitz and Toeplitz-like computations and, consequently, for numerous related computational problems (including the computational problems listed above), where all the input values are integers and all the output values are computed exactly. This includes randomized parallel algorithms for computing the rank, the determinant, and a basis for the null-space of an n &times; n Toeplitz or Toeplitz-like matrix A filled with integers, as well as a solution x to a linear system A x= f if the system is consistent. Our algorithms use O((log n) log (n log |A|)) parallel time and O(n log n) processors, each capable of performing (in unit time) an arithmetic operation, a comparision, or a rounding of a rational number to a closest integer. The cost bounds cover the cost of the verification of the correctness of the output. The computations by these algorithms can be performed with the precision of O(n log |A|) bits, which matches the precision required in order to represent the output, except for the rank computation, where the precision of the computation decreases. The algorithms involve either a single random parameter or at most 2n-1 parameters.The cited processor bounds are less by roughly factor n than ones supported by the known algorithms that run in polylogarithmic arithmetic time and do not use rounding to the closest integers. Technically, we first devise new algorithms supporting our old nearly optimal complexity estimates for parallel computations with general matrices filled with integers. Then we decrease dramatically, by roughly factor n1.376, the processor bounds required in these algorithms in the case where the input matrix is Toeplitz-like. Our algorithms exploit and combine some new techniques (which may be of independent interest, e.g., in the study of parallel and sequential computation of recursive factorization of integer matrices) as well as our earlier techniques of variable diagonal (relating to each other several known algebraic and numerical methods), stream contraction, and the truncation of displacement generators in Toeplitz-like computations; our development and application of these techniques may be of independent
