Power‐Efficient Computing: Experiences from the COSA Project
Scientific Programming, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Energy consumption is today one of the most relevant issues in operating HPC systems for scientific applications. The use of unconventional computing systems is therefore of great interest for several scientific communities looking for a better tradeoff between time‐to‐solution and energy‐to‐solution.

High‐Level Synthesis of In‐Circuit Assertions for Verification, Debugging, and Timing Analysis
International Journal of Reconfigurable Computing, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 Despite significant performance and power advantages compared to microprocessors, widespread usage of FPGAs has been limited by increased design complexity. High‐level synthesis (HLS) tools have reduced design complexity but provide limited support for verification, debugging, and timing analysis.

The Potential for a GPU‐Like Overlay Architecture for FPGAs
International Journal of Reconfigurable Computing, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 We propose a soft processor programming model and architecture inspired by graphics processing units (GPUs) that are well‐matched to the strengths of FPGAs, namely, highly parallel and pipelinable computation. In particular, our soft processor architecture exploits multithreading, vector operations, and predication to supply a floating‐point pipeline ...

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010 The Rapid Eye Mount (REM) is a 60 cm robotic telescope located at La Silla, Chile. Its Observing Software (REMOS) is constituted by a set of distributed intercommunicating processes organized around a central manager. Together they grant the system safety, automatically schedule and perform observations with two simultaneous cameras of user‐defined ...

C to O-O Translation: Beyond the Easy Stuff [PDF]
Proceedings of the 19th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering
(WCRE'12). Pgg. 19--28, IEEE Computer Society, October 2012, 2012 Can we reuse some of the huge code-base developed in C to take advantage of modern programming language features such as type safety, object-orientation, and contracts? This paper presents a source-to-source translation of C code into Eiffel, a modern object-oriented programming language, and the supporting tool C2Eif.

A Message‐Passing Hardware/Software CosimulationEnvironment for Reconfigurable Computing Systems
International Journal of Reconfigurable Computing, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009 High‐performance reconfigurable computers (HPRCs) provide a mix of standard processors and FPGAs to collectively accelerate applications. This introduces new design challenges, such as the need for portable programming models across HPRCs and system‐level verification tools.

SOLNP+: A Derivative-Free Solver for Constrained Nonlinear Optimization [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 SOLNP+ is a derivative-free solver for constrained nonlinear optimization. It starts from SOLNP proposed in 1989 by Ye Ye with the main idea that uses finite difference to approximate the gradient. We incorporate the techniques of implicit filtering, new restart mechanism and modern quadratic programming solver into this new version with an ANSI C ...

Experiential Learning in Vehicle Dynamics Education via Motion Simulation and Interactive Gaming
International Journal of Computer Games Technology, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009 Creating active, student‐centered learning situations in postsecondary education is an ongoing challenge for engineering educators. Contemporary students familiar with visually engaging and fast‐paced games can find traditional classroom methods of lecture and guided laboratory experiments limiting.
