synthetic traffic and traces from the SPLASH-2 benchmark suite show reduction in packet latency by up to 77.1 % with upto 39.6 % reduction in average router energy consumption as compared to a state-of-theart baseline packet-switched design. For the same saturation throughput as the baseline network, TFC

Abstract- Sorting is an important technique used in many applications such as visual processing unit (VPU), Digital Signal Processing (DSP), network processing etc. To achieve high throughput rates today's computers perform several operations simultaneously. This paper presents the efficient

provides low latency and simple bypass logic. We propose several caching policies and prefetching strategies and demonstrate the potential of this multiple-banked organization. For instance, we show that a two-level organization degrades IPC by 10% and 2% with respect to a non-pipelined single

for adopting NoC techniques. To facilitate the use of the NoC techniques an efficient design of the network interface (NI) unit that connects the switched network to the IP cores is required. In this paper, we present a new NI architecture for NoC with low latency and jitter constraints. We introduce a new

on the low side by 0 and on the high side by 5 according to systematic consideration of the degree to which each determinant would help or impede its adoption. Let these factors be denoted by ff j (k) for determinants k = 2, …, 8. We will argue that an overall feasibility factor for adaptation (j) should

parameters like utilization, latency and throughput drives the mapping of the inter-module traffic to an efficient communication architecture. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated by the exemplary design of a high performance Network Processing Unit (NPU), which is compared against a commercial

Abstract Modular multilevel converters (M2C) are increasingly used in the high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. The efficiency of M2C is highly related to the modulation technique which determines the switching frequency and capacitor voltage ripple in the converter station. A new approach

of energy efficient sorting capabilities would therefore significantly reduce data center power usage. We propose highly parallel sorting algorithms and mappings using a modular design for a fine-grained many-core system that greatly decreases the amount of energy consumed to perform sorts of arbitrarily

of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), state-ofthe-art designs cannot support large dictionaries without using high-latency external DRAM. We propose a novel Memory efficient Architecture for large-scale String Matching (MASM), based on pipelined binary search tree. With memory efficiency close to 1

A self-organising model of group formation (in three dimensional space) based on simple rules of avoidance, attraction and alignment is used to examine the spatial dynamics of animal groups. We discuss the dierent types of behaviour resulting from this model due to changes in these rules. In particular, the phenomenon of honeybee swarms migrating to a new nesting site is examined. The vast majority of the migrating swarm is uninformed as to the particular location of their new home. A small number of bees (in the swarm) have prior knowledge of the new location and guide the rest of the swarm to the new site. The model investigates a hypothesis of how this guidance procedure occurs. We conclude from the results of the model that one possible way for this process to occur is for the knowledgeable bees to guide the other members of the swarm with spatial cues.
