High Definition video streaming over WLANs faces many challenges because video data requires not only data integrity but also frames have strict playout deadline. Traditional streaming methods that rely solely on either UDP or TCP have difficulties meeting both requirements because UDP incurs packet loss while TCP incurs delay. This...
Achieving sharpened (enhanced detail) features of a multi-dimensional data source using the linear prediction (LP) bandwidth extrapolation (BWE) technique in the transform domain is the main objective of this research. The evolution of sensor technology has provided acquisition scenarios in which the data format is inherently multi-dimensional, including hyperspectral imaging...
The rapid population growth in large urban cities has led to an unprecedented increase in both the number and the diversity of wireless devices and applications with varying quality of service requirements in terms of latency and data rates. LinkNYC is an example of an urban communication network infrastructure, which...
Until a few years ago, wireless-capable laptops were considered novelties by many. It is now hard to find a laptop or a hand-held computing device that is not wireless-ready. As wireless devices are becoming commodities, they have also become an indispensable part of the modern society. Not surprisingly, research in...
The Discrete Cosine Transform is used in many image and video compression
standards. Many methods have been developed for efficiently computing the Discrete
Cosine Transform including flowgraph algorithms, distributed arithmetic and
two-dimensional decompositions.
A new architecture based on distributed arithmetic is presented for computing
the Discrete Cosine Transform and it's...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based distributed storage systems have gain much popularity in recent years. These systems rely greatly on the data redundancy to be robust under network dynamics, i.e., the dynamics of peer entering and departing the network. Hence, it is important to implement mechanisms for maintaining a certain level of...
In recent years, RF (Radio Frequency) device fingerprinting using deep learning has emerged as a method of identifying devices solely by their RF transmissions. Conventional approaches to this type of device fingerprinting are not portable to different domains. That is, if a model for this purpose is trained on data...
Machine learning applied to computer architecture has rapidly transitioned from a theoretical novelty to being a driving force behind design, control, and simulation in practically all components. These machine-learning-based methodologies are further notable for their scalability to increasingly complex design challenges, which has allowed these methodologies to surpass the prior...
We present the results of embedding a multigrid solver for Poisson's equation
into the parallel 3D Monte Carlo device simulator, PMC-3D. First we compare
the sequential multigrid implementation to the sequential Successive Overrelaxation
(SOR) Monte Carlo code used previously in PMC-3D. Depending on the convergence
threshold, we obtain significant speedups...
This work presents a new energy saving technique for modern digital designs. We propose Time Interleaved Multi-Rail (TIMR) - a method for providing two dynamic supply rails to a circuit. This technique uses the first supply rail to mask the transition delay while changing the voltage of the second rail....
