Abstract:

A number of special-purpose computers (SPC’s) have been built in the last two decades, and more are under construction. In parallel with the evolution of generalpurpose computers, the capacity of the fastest SPC’s has grown considerably in this period. The increase of speed is partly due to the availability of faster components, but even more important is the introduction of new architectures using pipelining and parallel processing. Apart from becoming faster on the average, a pronounced diversification has taken place in SPC’s which does not only affect their speed but also their versatility and, of course, their cost. An evaluation of SPC performances and costs in comparison with general-purpose supercomputers shows that, under certain circumstances, SPC’s can play a very useful role. They enable calculations that would not be feasible otherwise, because of excessive costs. However, the effort needed to build even a relatively simple SPC can easily be underestimated.

Abstract:

The Supercomputer Toolkit is a family of hardware modules (processors, memory, interconnect, and input-output devices) and a collection of software modules (compilers, simulators, scientific libraries, and high-level front ends) from which high-performance special-purpose computers can be easily configured and programmed. Although there are many examples of special-purpose computers (see Ref. 4), the Toolkit approach is different in that our aim is to construct these machines from standard, reusable parts. These are combined by means of a user-reconfigurable, static interconnect technology. The Toolkit’s software support, based on novel compilation techniques, produces extremely high-performance numerical code from high-level language input. We have completed fabrication of the Toolkit processor module, and several critical software modules. An eight-processor configuration is running at MIT. We have used the prototype Toolkit to perform a breakthrough computation of scientific importance—an integration of the motion of the Solar System that extends previous results by nearly two orders of magnitude. While the Toolkit project is not complete, we believe our results show evidence that generating special-purpose computers from standard modules can be an important method of performing intensive scientific computing. This paper briefly describes the Toolkit’s hardware and software modules, the Solar System simulation, conclusions and future plans.

Abstract:

For many years 2D machine vision has been used to perform automated inspection and measuring in the manufacturing environment. A strong drive to automate manufacturing has meant improvements in robotics and sensor technologies. So has machine vision seen a steady movement away from 2D and towards 3D. It is necessary to research and develop software that can use these new 3D sensing equipment in novel and useful ways. One task that is particularly useful, for a variety of situations is object recognition. It was hypothesised that it should be possible to train artificial neural networks to recognise 3D objects. For this purpose a 3D laser scanner was developed. This scanner and its software was developed and tested first in a virtual environment and what was learned there was then used to implemented an actual scanner. This scanner served the purpose of verifying what was done in the virtual environment. Neural networks of different sized were trained to establish whether they are a feasible classifier for the task of object recognition. Testing showed that, with the correct preprocessing, it is possible to perform 3D object recognition on simple geometric shapes by means of artificial neural networks.

Abstract:

Real-Time Systems are computer systems with constraints on the timing of actions. To ease the development and maintenance of application software, Real-time Systems often make use of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). Its main task is scheduling of application processes (tasks). Other functions can be interprocess communication, interrupt handling, memory management etc. Sometimes it is hard (or even impossible) to meet the time constraints specified for a real-time system, resulting in an incorrectly functioning application. A possible remedy is to redesign the system by upgrading the processor and/or remove functionality, etc. An alternative solution could be the use of a special purpose hardware accelerated RTOS. The aim of such an accelerator is to speedup RTOS functions that impose big overhead i.e. to reduce the kernel overhead by offloading the application processor. Accordingly, the processor gets more time for executing application software, and hopefully the time constraints can be met. The main drawback is the cost of extra hardware. This thesis presents results from implementing RTOS functions in hardware, especially interprocess communication (IPC) functions. The types of systems considered are uniprocessor and shared memory multiprocessor real-time systems. IPC is used in systems with co-operating processes. The operating systems on the market support a large variation of IPC mechanisms. We will here present and evaluate three different IPC implementations. The first is an extended message queue mechanism that is used in commercial robot control applications. The second is the signal mechanism in OSE, a commercial RTOS predominantly used in telecommunication control applications, and the third is the semaphore and message queue mechanisms supported by the leading commercial RTOS VxWorks. All the implementations are based on a pre-emptive priority-based hardware real-time kernel accelerator. We show that it is not optimal, practical or desirable to implement every kernel function into hardware, regarding systems in the scope of this thesis. However, an accelerator allows new functionality to be implemented. We illustrate this by implementing a message queue mechanism that supports priority inheritance for message arrival in hardware, which is too expensive to implement in software. Also, we show that substantial speedups are possible, and that a crucial mechanism in achieving speedup is the accelerator-processor interconnect. We further note that application speedups are possible, even in cases with an IPC-mechanism slow-down. The main reasons for this is that the accelerator can off-load the processor by handling the RTOS timing mechanism (clock-ticks), reducing the RTOS code to be executed on the processor, and handling interrupts.

Abstract:

Free Software offers people the freedom to share or change the software. By accessing the source code, people can adapt or modify the software to meet their special needs. This facilitates research, education and business. However, adding special purpose functions to Free Software is still a big challenge for developers. Though some software packages provide functions that have potential utility for certain needs, these functions might not be directly used or are very difficult to use, especially by students. This thesis aimed to provide developers with some feasible approaches to assisting novice users. It attempts to add forecasting functionality and easy-to-use user interface to different types of software packages, such as R and Scilab. Several example interfaces are implemented in multiple programming languages (such as Perl, JavaScript and HTML) on the Windows and Linux platforms. We conducted analyses on the attempts made and the lessons learned in these implementations. This provides prototypes and caveats for further efforts, which may have relevance to effectively exploiting Free Software, especially for online teaching.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: We present DEADLINER, a special-purpose search engine that indexes conference and workshop announcements, and which extracts a range of academic information from the Web. SVMs provide an efficient and highly accurate mechanism for obtaining relevant web documents. DEADLINER currently extracts speakers, locations (e.g. countries), dates, paper submission (and other) deadlines, topics, program committees, abstracts, and affiliations. Complex and detailed searches are possible on these fields. The niche search engine was constructed by employing a methodology for rapid implementation of specialised search engines. Bayesian integration of simple extractors provides this methodology, that avoids complex hand-tuned text extraction methods. The simple extractors exploit loose formatting and keyword conventions. The Bayesian framework further produces a search engine where each user can control each fields false alarm rate in an intuitive and rigorous fashion, thus providing easy-to-use metadata.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ons stel DEADLINER bekend: 'n soekmasjien wat konferensie en werkvergaderingsaankondigings katalogiseer en wat uiteindelik 'n wye reeks akademiese byeenkomsmateriaal sal monitor en onttrek uit die Web. DEAD LINER herken en onttrek tans sprekers, plekke (bv. landname), datums, o.a. sperdatums vir die inlewering van akademiese verrigtings, onderwerpe, programkomiteë, oorsigte of opsommings, en affiliasies. 'n Grondige soek is moontlik oor en deur hierdie velde. Die nissoekmasjien is gebou deur gebruik te maak van 'n metodologie vir die vinnige oprigting van spesialiteitsoekmasjiene. Die metodologie vermy komplekse instelling m.b.v. hande-arbeid van die teksuittreksels deur gebruik te maak van Bayesiese integrering van eenvoudige ontsluiters. Die ontsluiters buit dan styl- en gewoonte-sleutelwoorde uit. Die Bayesiese raamwerk skep hierdeur 'n soekmasjien wat gebruikers toelaat om elke veld se kans om verkeerd te kies op 'n intuïtiewe en deeglike manier te beheer.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the potential of wafer-scale integration (WSI) for the implementation of low-cost fine-grain parallel processing computer systems. As WSI is a relatively new subject, there was little work on which to base investigations. Indeed, most WSI architectures existed only as untried and sometimes vague proposals. Accordingly, the research strategy approached this problem by identifying a representative WSI structure and architecture on which to base investigations. An analysis of architectural proposals identified associative memory to be general purpose parallel processing component used in a wide range of WSI architectures. Furthermore, this analysis provided a set of WSI-level design requirements to evaluate the sustainability of different architectures as research vehicles. The WSI-ASP (WASP) device, which has a large associative memory as its main component is shown to meet these requirements and hence was chosen as the research vehicle. Consequently, this thesis addresses WSI potential through an in-depth investigation into the feasibility of implementing a large associative memory for the WASP device that meets the demanding technological constraints of WSI. Overall, the thesis concludes that WSI offers significant potential for the implementation of low-cost fine-grain parallel processing computer systems. However, due to the dual constraints of thermal management and the area required for the power distribution network, power density is a major design constraint in WSI. Indeed, it is shown that WSI power densities need to be an order of magnitude lower than VLSI power densities. The thesis demonstrates that for associative memories at least, VLSI designs are unsuited to implementation in WSI. Rather, it is shown that WSI circuits must be closely matched to the operational environment to assure suitable power densities. These circuits are significantly larger than their VLSI equivalents. Nonetheless, the thesis demonstrates that by concentrating on the most power intensive circuits, it is possible to achieve acceptable power densities with only a modest increase in area overheads.

Abstract:

Cette thèse concerne l'étude de différentes techniques modernes de génie logiciel qui peuvent être mises en ¦uvre pour développer des systèmes de Traitement Automatique des Langues Naturelles de façon générique et extensible. La première partie fait le point sur l'état de l'art en TALN à propos des Langages Spécialisés pour la Programmation Linguistique et permet d'identifier l'intégrabilité, l'extensibilité et la généricité comme trois qualités qu'il est souhaitable de fournir aux systèmes de TALN. La définition d'un modèle à objets (LEAF) et l'affinage d'un modèle d'architecture (tableau blanc) constituent deux premiers éléments de réponse au problème de l'intégration. Une première approche de la généricité et de l'extensibilité est également présentée avec une expérience de réingéniérie du langage LT. La seconde partie approfondit les problèmes de généricité et les illustre avec la définition d'un langage original de représentation linguistique (DECOR). L'introduction de protocoles internes et externes permet de rendre ce langage particulièrement générique et dynamique. La troisième partie fait état de la réingériérie de deux langages spécialisés (ATEF et ROBRA). Cette expérience permet d'introduire une grande extensibilité dans les moteurs de ces langages par une programmation par objets et protocoles. Une question transverse à ces trois parties concerne l'identification des limites et des écueils liés à la recherche de l'intégrabilité, de l'extensibilité et de la généricité. Ces difficultés viennent principalement de la complexité croissante des protocoles adéquats, dont la maîtrise pourrait rapidement échapper au développeur si l'on n'y prend garde.

Abstract:

Recongurable computing technology has progressed to a stage where it is now possible to achieve orders of magnitude performance and power eciency gains over conventional computer architectures for a subset of high performance computing applications. In this thesis, we investigate the potential of recongurable computers to accelerate genomic sequence alignment specically for genome sequencing applications. We present a highly optimized implementation of a parallel sequence alignment algorithm for the Berkeley Emulation Engine (BEE2) recongurable computer, allowing a single BEE2 to align simultaneously hundreds of sequences. For each recongurable processor (FPGA), we demonstrate a 61X speedup versus a state-of-the-art implementation on a modern conventional CPU core, and a 56X improvement in performance-per-Watt. We also show that our implementation is highly scalable and we provide performance results from a cluster implementation using 32 FPGAs. We conclude that recongurable computers provide an excellent platform on which to run sequence alignment, and that clusters of recongurable computers will be able to cope far more easily with the vast quantities of data produced by new ultra-high-throughput sequencers.

Abstract:

This dissertation builds upon the ideas introduced by Liben-Nowell and Kleinberg in The Link Prediction Problem for Social Networks [42]. Link prediction is the problem of predicting between which unconnected nodes in a graph a link will form next, based on the current structure of the graph. The following research contributions are made: • Highlighting the difference between the link prediction and link detection problems, which have been implicitly regarded as identical in current research. Despite hidden links and forming links having very highly significant differing metric values, they could not be distinguished from each other by a machine learning system using traditional metrics in an initial experiment. However, they could be distinguished from each other in a "simple" network (one where traditional metrics can be used for prediction successfully) using a combination of new graph analysis approaches. • Defining temporal metric statistics by combining traditional statistical measures with measures commonly employed in financial analysis and traditional social network analysis. These metrics are calculated over time for a sequence of sociograms. It is shown that some of the temporal extensions of traditional metrics increase the accuracy of link prediction. • Defining traditional metrics using different radii to those at which they are normally calculated. It is shown that this approach can increase the individual prediction accuracy of certain metrics, marginally increase the accuracy of a group of metrics, and greatly increase metric computation speed without sacrificing information content by computing metrics using smaller radii. It also solves the “distance-three task” (that common neighbour metrics cannot predict links between nodes at a distance greater than three). • Showing that the combination of local and temporal approaches to link prediction can lead to very high prediction accuracies. Furthermore in “complex” networks (ones where traditional metrics cannot be used for prediction successfully) local and temporal metrics become even more useful.

Abstract:

Abstract There have been widespread interests in the development and application of World Wide Web (WWW) to support decision-making activities in product design and manufacture. An increasing number of web applications are emerging and a large number of practitioners are keen on trying these web-based decision support systems. In the meanwhile, it becomes increasingly difficult to surf for appropriate web applications on the Internet with general-purpose search engines. This paper describes a web site, WAPIP, that has been developed specifically to support new product introduction activities. It provides databases for software vendors and researchers to register their web applications with the “wapip” search engine. It also provides facilities to support practitioners in product design and manufacture to search rapidly for the right web applications suitable for solving their problems. This paper discusses the various issues regarding the design, development and operation of this “wapip” search engine.

Abstract:

Abstract A software package MenuCAD has been developed for the general need of designing menu-driven, user-friendly CAD computer programs. The main menu is formatted similar to the major contents in the final report of the design project including Contents, Analysis, Sample Design Cases, Illustrations and Tables, References, and Program Listings. Sub-menus are further divided into items delineating the steps involved in the design. Screen help messages are provided for design of the main menu and sub-menus interactively and for applying the arrow keys on the keyboard to select a sub-menus and a particular item in the sub-menu in order to execute a desired design step. MenuCAD builds the framework, its user has to supplement with a subroutine ExecItem for describing the special features and for directing how each design step should be executed in the project. A CAD design of four-bar linkage project is presented as a sample application of this package.

Abstract:

A method for cutting non-circular holes on a bent thick plate is proposed. Generally, in order to cut holes on large plates, a special-purpose 5-axis machine is needed. However, such a machine is unavailable in most machine shops. This paper provides a description of a method that utilizes a general-purpose 5-axis water-jet machine in place of the special-purpose machine: First, the bent piece is transformed into a flat plate, where the shape of the holes is reconstructed by considering deformation during bending. Then, after 5-axis NC data is generated, the holes on the flat plate are cut using the 5-axis water-jet machine. In the final step, the desired shape of the piece is obtained by bending the plate with its newly-cut holes. Some illustrations are provided in order to show the validity of the proposed method.

Abstract:

We describe a sketch-based interface designed to provide engineers with a computer environment similar to pen and paper. With our interface, users can construct functional engineering models simply by drawing sketches on a computer screen. Unlike paper sketches, however, our interface allows users to interact with their sketches in real time to modify existing objects and add new ones. To demonstrate the utility of our system, we have developed a sketch-based interface for designing and analyzing simple vibratory mechanical systems. The technical contributions of our work include: (1) a sketch parsing method for automatically locating the distinct graphical symbols in a sketch, (2) a general-purpose, trainable symbol recognizer, and (3) special purpose prerecognizers that consider shape information and make use of drawing conventions.

Abstract:

This paper presents design for a finger mechanism that has evolved from the stringent requirement of ruggedness and reliability in an industrial application. The paper initially describes the need for a special purpose end effector to operate in a constrained environment and then takes through the various stages of design modifications that were required to ensure safety and reliability. This resulted into a rigid link finger design, which is adaptive to different shapes and operated by a single actuator providing up to 3 degrees of freedom to the finger. A number of such finger mechanisms can be assembled together in different configurations to design special purpose end effectors. This paper covers two such designs and briefly discusses the grasping and control issues associated with the limited number of actuators built into the end effector, and evaluates their suitability in industrial environments. The design overcomes limitations of majority of existing tendon based end effectors requiring a large number of actuators to be controlled thus meeting the space and safety requirements for constrained industrial applications.

Abstract:

Abstract The paper presents a mathematical formulation for determining the relative motion of independent particles over oscillating transport planes considering Coulomb friction. This study addresses particles in continuous contact with the transport planes (without jumps). The particle dynamic behaviour is obtained by numerically integrating the equation of motion by using a special purpose computer program and a computer program commercially available and marketed by ALGOR called Dyna Pak. Both methods give comparable results.

Abstract:

In this study, general purpose multibody dynamics codes AutoDyn7 (AUTOmobile DYNamics in G7) and CADyna (the NT version of the AutoDyn7) are introduced for the application to education in multibody dynamics. In the Auto-Dyn7 program, an efficient and systematic formulation for rigid and flexible bodies is derived using the velocity transformation technique. The Rapid-App for GUI (Graphic User Interface) builder and the Open Inventor for 3D graphic library have been employed to develop these programs in Silicon Graphics workstation. Several special purpose modules of the AutoDyn7 program are introduced to analyze vehicle dynamic characteristics. The NT version of the AutoDyn7, named CADyna, is also developed. The pre-processor for user input is developed with Visual C++ and the post-processor is developed with OpenGL and TeeChart for animation and graph.

Abstract:

Abstract By the coupling of the existing knowledge of experts, the numerical results and the experimental data with the help of some special automatic learning and optimization techniques, it is now possible to propose a very simple tool to design materials. The purpose of this paper is to show its particular application to the very difficult design of woven composites where it is necessary to adjust the mechanical properties, the electromagnetic properties and taking care of the price too.
