Distributed Memory Parallel Architecture Based on Modular Linear Arrays for 2-D Separable Transforms Computation
Authors: José Fridman, Elias S. Manolakos
Venue: Journal of VLSI Signal Processing Systems (2001)

A framework for mapping systematically 2-dimensional (2-D) separable transforms into a parallel architecture consisting of fully pipelined linear array stages is presented. The resulting model architecture is characterized by its generality, high degree of modularity, high throughput, and the exclusive use of distributed memory and control. There is no central shared memory block to facilitate the transposition of intermediate results, as it is commonly the case in row-column image processing architectures. Avoiding shared central memory has positive implications for speed, area, power dissipation and scalability of the architecture. The architecture presented here may be used to realize any separable 2-D transform by only changing the coefficients stored in the processing elements. Pipelined linear arrays for computing the 2-D Discrete Fourier Transform and 2-D separable convolution are presented as examples and their performance is evaluated.

The operating system kernel as a secure programmable machine
Authors: Dawson Engler, M. Frans Kaashoek, James O'Toole
Venue: Proceedings of the 6th workshop on ACM SIGOPS European workshop: Matching operating systems to application needs (1994)

Operating systems should provide only minimal embedded kernel functionality. Exokernels achieve this minimalist goal by presenting to applications the features supported by the underlying hardware resources. Applications customize the operating system by extending the exokernel interface. Code inspection, inlined cross-domain procedure calls, and secure languages are used to allow programmable yet safe additions to the supervisor-mode execution environment. These additions enable applications to benefit from full hardware functionality and performance. To test and evaluate exokernels and their customization techniques a prototype system, Aegis, is being developed.

Technology Funding for Schools with Disk, 1st edition
Authors: David G. Bauer
Venue:  (2000)

:"In these days of shrinking education dollars, this book provides a wealth of funding sources. A 'must have' for all dynamic administrators who will lead their schools through the new century!"--Frances J. Sills, former principal, Cedar Grove High School, New Jersey, and educational consultantUsing computers and getting "wired" have become priorities for educators and parents. But most schools lack the funds to fulfill their technological dreams. And many schools make the mistake of framing their proposals as equipment requests rather than showing how technology can facilitate better educational outcomes for students. This practical book-and-disk kit shows how to develop more effective technology funding proposals. It helps schools to identify the issues that can be resolved more efficiently through technology and then details how to effectively articulate what they need, why they need it, how they will use it, and who will benefit from the technological enhancements.Grants expert David G. Bauer arms the grantseeker with a deeper understanding of the funding landscape--from individual and corporate to foundation and government sources. He also provides a wealth of strategic tools, including worksheets, sample letters and forms, checklists, charts, spreadsheets, and Web links to additional funding sources. And for easy access and customization, many of the hands-on resources are available on the accompanying disk. Technology Funding for Schools is a complete grantseeking toolkit for administrators, teachers, parents, and policymakers.

Test patterns for fault-tolerant logic circuits using block design concepts
Authors: Ahmed E. Barbour
Venue: Proceedings of the 30th annual Southeast regional conference (1992)

Fault-tolerant logic circuits have been considered untestable due to the redundancy introduced into the logic circuits to mask faults. Recently, the block design concepts have been used to construct system and gate level fault-tolerant logic circuits and to find a minimal design. Conditions have been established to construct testable fault-tolerant circuits. This paper investigates the use of the block design concepts to generate test patterns for fault-tolerant logic circuits designed according to certain criteria. Algorithms are developed to construct fault-tolerant circuits and to generate minimal test patterns directly from the block design representation of the circuits.
