A survey of architecture design rationale

Journal of Systems and Software, 2006
Many claims have been made about the consequences of not documenting design rationale. The general perception is that designers and architects usually do not fully understand the critical role of systematic use and capture of design rationale. However, there is to date little empirical evidence available on what design rationale mean to practitioners ...

Architectural Perspectives Survey

2014
This paper deals with the problem of surveying Architectural Perspectives, generally painted in a 1:1 scale, which represent illusory spaces, enlarging the hosting real spaces. In particular, we intend to propose a method of survey, applicable to the case of painted surfaces in general; this method allows us to achieve high-resolution images with a ...

Stochastic hardware architectures: A survey

2012 International Conference on Energy Aware Computing, 2012
Many emerging computer applications may be classified into recognition, mining, and synthesis (RMS) applications, or into stream-based media applications. One interesting and useful property of such applications is that they are tolerant to errors. In fact, these applications allow discrepancies in intermediate computations, but nevertheless are able ...

A survey of architectures for volume rendering

IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, 1990
Five hardware architectures for volume rendering, which requires efficiently handling a huge amount of volumetric data, are surveyed, categorized, and compared. They are Cube, Insight, PARCUM, Voxel Processor, and 3DP. General-purpose graphics systems that exploit their surface-based geometry engine to reduce the computational burden of the rendering ...

Architectures for wavelet transforms: A survey

Journal of VLSI signal processing systems for signal, image and video technology, 1996
Wavelet transforms have proven to be useful tools for several applications, including signal analysis, signal compression and numerical analysis. This paper surveys the VLSI architectures that have been proposed for computing the Discrete and Continuous Wavelet Transforms for 1-D and 2-D signals. The architectures are based upon on-line versions of the

Reconfigurable Multithreading Architectures: A Survey

2009
This paper provides a survey on the existing proposals in the field of reconfigurable multithreading (ρ MT) architectures. Until now, the reconfigurable architectures have been classified according to implementation or architectural criteria, but never based on their ρ MT capabilities.

Survey of ATM switch architectures

Computer Networks and ISDN Systems, 1995
For reasons of economy and flexibility, BISDN (Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network) is expected to replace existing application-oriented communication networks. ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) is a high-speed packet-switching technique that has emerged as the most promising technology for BISDN.

Combating architectural degeneration: a survey

Information and Software Technology, 2005
As software systems evolve over time, they invariably undergo changes that can lead to a degeneration of the architecture. Left unchecked, degeneration may reach a level where a complete redesign is necessary, a task that requires significant effort. In this paper, we present a survey of technologies developed by researchers that can be used to combat ...

FPGA architectural research: a survey

IEEE Design & Test of Computers, 1996
A recent article by S. Brown and J. Rose (see ibid., vol.13, no.2, p.42-57, 1996) summarized the classes of field programmable devices currently available and described many of the most important commercial devices. We describe current research studies, evaluating the enhancements to FPGA architecture each recommends and how these architectures affect ...

A survey of reconfigurable computing architectures

1998
In this paper, a survey of reconfigurable computing is presented. There have been other surveys in this field, but none as exhaustive as this one tries to be. The main goal of this paper is to consider a large variety of different approaches to the field of reconfigurable computing, and to make a thorough classification. This classification is aimed at
