General purpose CPUs (Central Processing Unit) used in High Performance Computing (HPC) support a vector instruction set and an out-of-order engine dedicated to increase the instruction level parallelism. Hence, related optimizations are currently critical to improve the performance of applications requiring numerical computation. Moreover, the use of a Java run-time environment such as the HotSpot ...

Distributed and decentralized systems that rely on self-organizations to achieve a specific goal usually characterized by non-linear dynamics. They usually involve amplification or positive feedback as well as damping or negative feedback along with several cooperative-competitive interactions to evolve and navigate towards its desired state. Due to the non-linearity involved and a great number of ...

Many scientists and engineers do software programming as a (significant) part of their daily job. Either setting up experiments, taking measurements, developing prototypes, testing their designs, embedding software as part of larger systems, or modeling and analyzing the world around them. In this paper, the authors present a graphical programming framework, LabVIEW, and associated language ...

The congestion control algorithms in TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) may incur inferior performance in a lossy network context like wireless networks. Previous works have shown that random linear network coding can improve the throughput of TCP in such networks, although it introduces extra decoding delay at the destination. In this paper, the authors try to ...

Today e-waste is becoming a major problem for the developing countries. E-waste is defined something as a discarded parts of electronic devices which contains most of the times, hazardous chemicals which is deadly for the authors’ environment, example is computer components. Green computing is the study and practice of designing, using, disposing and manufacturing electronic ...

In this paper, the authors give an overview on how Software Defined Networking (SDN) principles can be applied to existing Ethernet merchant silicon considering the requirements modern networks face. They show that existing layer 2 features specified by IEEE 802.1Q support SDN. The bridge architecture supports control plane/data plane split by design and also allows ...

The next generation of 802.11 WLANs is expected to support Multi-User MIMO (MUMIMO) transmission, whereby parallel transmissions can be simultaneously made to multiple stations. This significantly extends the MIMO support introduced by the 802.11n standard and is, for example, included as part of the current draft 802.11ac standard that aims to support wireless data rates ...

Education today is becoming completely associated with the Information Technology on the content delivery, communication and collaboration. The need for servers, storage and software are highly demanding in the universities, colleges and schools. Cloud Computing is an Internet based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information, are provided to computers and devices on-demand, like the ...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are comprised of thousands of sensor nodes, with restricted energy, that co-operate to accomplish a sensing task. Various routing Protocols are designed for transmission in WSNs. In this paper, the authors proposed a hybrid routing protocol: Zonal-Stable Election Protocol (Z-SEP) for heterogeneous WSNs. In this protocol, some nodes transmit data directly ...

The authors consider the problem of removing silent transitions from one-way automata with various kinds of storage. Specifically, they ask for which kinds of storage the real-time and the general version have equal computational power. They consider the computational power of silent transitions in one-way automata with storage. Specifically, they ask which storage mechanisms admit ...
