Hierarchical conditional dependency graphs as a unifying design representation in the CODESIS high-level synthesis system
Authors: Apostolos A. Kountouris, Christophe Wolinski
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th international symposium on System synthesis (2000)

In high-level hardware synthesis (HLS) there is a gap on the quality of the synthesized results between data-flow and control-flow dominated behavioral descriptions. Heuristics destined for the former usually perform poorly on the latter. To close this gap, the CODESIS interactive HLS tool relies on a unifying intermediate design representation and adapted heuristics that are able to accommodate both types of designs as well as designs of a mixed data-flow and control-flow nature. Preliminary experimental results in mutual exclusiveness detection and in efficiently scheduling conditional behaviors, are encouraging and prompt for more extensive experimentation.
Timing-driven routing for FPGAs based on Lagrangian relaxation
Authors: Seokjin Lee, D. F. Wong
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Physical design (2002)

As interconnection delay plays an important role in determining circuit performance in FPGAs, timing-driven FPGA routing has received much attention recently. In this paper, we present a new timing-driven routing algorithm for FPGAs. The algorithm finds a routing with minimum critical path delay for a given placed circuit using the Lagrangian relaxation technique. Lagrangian multipliers used to relax timing constraints are updated by subgradient method over iterations. Incorporated into the cost function, these multipliers guide the router to construct routing tree for each net. During routing, the exclusivity constraints on each routing resources are also taken care of to route circuits successfully. Experimental results on benchmark circuits show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art VPR router.
COBOL simulation: random number generation for binary and decimal computers
Authors: Francis J. Brewerton, Elias R. Callahan, R. Wayne Gober
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th annual Southeast regional conference (1976)

Although the Common Business Oriented Language was originally designed for use in business data processing, the language is now being employed as a simulation language under certain limiting conditions. Factors influencing the application of the language to simulation studies include its popularity, its self-documenting characteristic, its "believability," and its efficiency in programming the triangular distribution.A necessary requisite in any simulation study is the programming of random number generators to simulate the random occurrence of various events. Several methods of generating random numbers are available, but the technique most frequently used is the power residue method. Since most simulation studies are programmed with FORTRAN (a general purpose language), simulation languages (SIMSCRIPT, GPSS, GASP, etc.), or machine languages, little attention has been devoted to programming the power residue method of random number generation with COBOL.A procedure is presented which describes and discusses COBOL programming of random number generation for the binary computer and the decimal computer utilizing the power residue method. Program excerpts are provided to illustrate the procedure, and comparative differences in COBOL programming for the two computer types are noted. Conditions most favorable to COBOL programming of simulation studies are also discussed, as well as the conditions under which COBOL programming is not recommended.
The CD-ROM Drive: A Brief System Description
Authors: Sorin G. Stan
Venue:  (1998)

:This book is the first to describe all system aspects of the design of a CD-ROM drive, discussing all building blocks, from optics to host interface. The various subsystems of a CD-ROM drive and their functionalities are discussed separately and all relevant aspects are covered, from the mechanical, optical and electrical to the control and information processing properties. In addition, new aspects relating to high- and very high-speed drives are introduced and discussed. The introduction of these aspects, as well as the discussion of issues relating to drive benchmarking and performance, combines to make The CD-ROM Drive a unique contribution to the field. The CD-ROM Drive, although dedicated to the CD-ROM system, is also a very valuable reference for other compact disc systems, like CD-Recordable or Digital Versatile Disc (DVD).

Bisimulation congruences in safe ambients
Authors: Massimo Merro, Matthew Hennessy
Venue: Proceedings of the 29th ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT symposium on Principles of programming languages (2002)

We study a variant of Levi and Sangiorgi's Safe Ambients (SA) enriched with passwords (SAP). In SAP by managing passwords, for example generating new ones and distributing them selectively, an ambient may now program who may migrate into its computation space, and when. Moreover in SAP an ambient may provide different services depending on the passwords exhibited by its incoming clients.We give an lts based operational semantics for SAP and a labelled bisimulation based equivalence which is proved to coincide with barbed congruence.Our notion of bisimulation is used to prove a set of algebraic laws which are subsequently exploited to prove more significant examples.
Efficient hardware controller synthesis for synchronous dataflow graph in system level design
Authors: Hyunuk Jung, Kangnyoung Lee, Soonhoi Ha
Venue: Proceedings of the 13th international symposium on System synthesis (2000)

This paper concerns automatic hardware synthesis from data flow graph (DFG) specification in system level design. In the presented design methodology, each node of a data flow graph represents a hardware library module that contains a synthesizable VHDL code. Our proposed technique automatically synthesizes a clever control structure, cascaded counter controller, that supports asynchronous interaction with outside modules while efficiently implementing the synchronous dataflow semantics of the graph at the same time. Through comparison with previous work with some examples, the novelty of the proposed technique is demonstrated.

Multimodal theater: extending low fidelity paper prototyping to multimodal applications
Authors: Corey D. Chandler, Gloria Lo, Anoop K. Sinha
Venue: CHI '02 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems (2002)

Low-fidelity paper prototyping has proven to be a useful technique for designing graphical user interfaces [1]. Wizard of Oz prototyping for other input modalities, such as speech, also has a long history [2]. Yet to surface are guidelines for low-fidelity prototyping of multimodal applications, those that use multiple and sometimes simultaneous combination of different input types. This paper describes our recent research in low fidelity, multimodal, paper prototyping and suggest guidelines to be used by future designers of multimodal applications.

Structure Theorems for Group Ring Codes with an Application to Self-Dual Codes
Authors: G. Hughes
Venue: Designs, Codes and Cryptography (2001)

Using ideas from the cohomology of finite groups, an isomorphism is established between a group ring and the direct sum of twisted group rings. This gives a decomposition of a group ring code into twisted group ring codes. In the abelian case the twisted group ring codes are (multi-dimensional) constacyclic codes. We use the decomposition to prove that, with respect to the Euclidean inner product, there are no self-dual group ring codes when the group is the direct product of a 2-group and a group of odd order, and the ring is a field of odd characteristic or a certain modular ring. In particular, there are no self-dual abelian codes over the rings indicated. Extensions of these results to non-Euclidean inner products are briefly discussed.

Alternative formulations of the paging problem for cache with read through
Authors: Cathy Jo Linn
Venue: Proceedings of the 17th annual Southeast regional conference (1979)

Cache memory is now widely accepted as a cost effective way of improving system performance. Significant reductions in the average data access time have been achieved using very simplistic paging algorithms, such as LRU, implemented in hardware. In this paper we wish to investigate more sophisticated algorithms for the management of intelligent cache systems.
