Abstract:
The new emission regulations for new trucks was made to decrease the CO2 emissions by 30% from 2020 to 2030. One of the solutions is hybridizing the truck powertrain with 48V or 600V that can recover brake energy with electrical machines and batteries. The control of this hybrid powertrain is key to increase fuel efficiency. The idea behind this approach is to combine two different power sources, an internal combustion engine and a battery driven electric machine, and use both to provide tractive forces to the vehicle. This approach requires a HEV controller to operate the power flow within th

Abstract:
The design of a processor is an iterative process, with many cycles of simulation, performance analysis and subsequent changes. The inputs to these cycles of simulations are generally a selected subset of standard benchmarks. To aid in reducing the number of cycles involved in design, one can characterize these selected benchmarks and use those characteristics to hit at a good initial design that will converge faster. Methods and systems to characterize benchmarks for normal processors are designed and implemented. This thesis extends these approaches and defines an abstract system to characte

This thesis develops a practicable benchmark VAT that bridges the gap between theory and practice in VAT design and provides concrete guidance for countries to evaluate, assess, and, where appropriate, reform their VATs. The potential use of the practicable benchmark in devising a reform agenda is illustrated by means of a case study based on the Chinese VAT, a tax that is at odds with the theoretical model in many respects. Experience has shown that real-world VATs most often deviate substantially from the theoretical VAT model, revealing the disconnect between the theoretical model based pri

An important objective in statistical risk assessment is estimation of minimum exposure levels, called Benchmark Doses (BMDs) that induce a pre-specified Benchmark Response (BMR) in a target population.

Abstract:
With the future of high performance computing quickly moving towards a higher and higher count of CPU cores, the need for efficient memory coherence models is becoming more and more prevalent. Strict memory models, while convenient for the programmer, limit the scalability and overall performance of multi- and manycore systems. For this reason, relaxed memory models are looked into, both in academia and in the industry. Applications written for stronger memory models often contain data races, which cause unexpected behaviour in more relaxed models, many of which rely on data race free code to

Abstract:
Um dado por si só não possui valor algum, a menos que ele seja interpretado, contextualizado e agregado com outros dados, para então possuir valor, tornando-o uma informação. Em algumas classes de aplicações o valor não está apenas na informação, mas também na velocidade com que essa informação é obtida. As negociações de alta frequência (NAF) são um bom exemplo onde a lucratividade é diretamente proporcional a latência (LOVELESS; STOIKOV; WAEBER, 2013). Com a evolução do hardware e de ferramentas de processamento de dados diversas aplicações que antes levavam horas para produzir resultados, h

Abstract:
L'étude de la charge d'un système, de ses performances et de ses algorithmes de base s'appuie fortement sur l'application d'outils mathématiques. En ce qui concerne les Systemes de Gestion de Base de Données Relationnels (SGBDR), l'analyse des données fournit des outils qui s'avèrent très importants dans l'évolution de telles études. À partir de l'application des méthodes de classification aux attributs appartenant aux relations du schéma d'une base, la charge du SGBDR (due à cette base) est définie en fonction des représentations des opérandes (attributs, groupes d'attributs, relations) compo

Abstract:
This thesis deals with the development of benchmark application for the OpenGL ES 3.0 devices using the realistic real-time rendering of 3D scenes. The first part covers the history and new features of the OpenGL ES 3.0 graphics library. Next part briefly describes selected algorithms for the realistic real-time rendering of 3D scenes which can be implemented using the new features of the discussed library. The design of benchmark application is covered next, including the design of online result database containing detailed device specifications. The last part covers implementation on Android
