  • A high power emulation of a wind farm

    Creator:
    Lalla, Chelsea
    Abstract:
    As more wind farms are connected to the grid, the variable nature of wind energy begins to influence grid stability. Energy storage could help smooth the variable nature of wind energy. Laboratory demonstration and exploration of the interaction between different energy storage devices and wind energy could help improve and...

  • Power efficient H.264 video decoding in embedded multiprocessor

    Creator:
    Kim, Jihong
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel methodology that enables power efficient video decoding in an embedded system based on MPSoC (Multiprocessor System on Chip). This methodology is a physical combination of parallel processing which reduces power consumption of processors by exploiting thread-level parallelism and Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS) that allows...

  • An efficient frequency controlled PFM for DC-DC converters

    Creator:
    Pai, Jeff
    Abstract:
    As more features are being integrated into mobile platforms, the demand for long battery life during standby mode has been increasing. Light load efficiency becomes one of essential features in today's DC-DC converter. The most effective method to improve light load efficiency is to operate the DC-DC converter under pulse-frequency-modulation...

  • Offloading of I/O transactions in current CPU architectures

    Creator:
    Larsen, Steen K.
    Abstract:
    IO transactions within a computer system have evolved along with other system components (i.e., CPU, memory, video) from programmed IO (PIO). In current mainstream systems (spanning from HPC to mobile) the IO transactions are CPU-centric descriptor-based DMA transactions. The key benefit is that slower IO devices can DMA write system...

  • Dynamic and Dual Streaming Methods for H.264 Video and Parallel Performance Modeling

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    Traditional approaches to streaming H.264 video over a network typically rely on a single method of transport (i.e., reliable or unreliable) and/or use static values for parameters that can have a significant negative impact on the perceptual quality of the received video. This dissertation presents a dynamic method for wireless...

  • New Families of pseudo-Anosov Homeomorphisms with Vanishing Sah-Arnoux-Fathi Invariant

    Creator:
    Do, Hieu Trung
    Abstract:
    Translation surfaces can be viewed as polygons with parallel and equal sides identified. An affine homeomorphism φ from a translation surface to itself is called pseudo-Anosov when its derivative is a constant matrix in SL₂(R) whose trace is larger than 2 in absolute value. In this setting, the eigendirections of...

  • An inner product on adelic measures

    Creator:
    Oberly, Peter J.
    Abstract:
    We define an inner product on a vector space of adelic measures over a number field $K$. We find that the norm induced by this inner product governs weak convergence at each place of $K$. The canonical adelic measure associated to a rational map is in this vector space, and...

  • The dynamic speculation and performance prediction of parallel loops

    Creator:
    Zier, David A.
    Abstract:
    General purpose computer systems have seen increased performance potential through the parallel processing capabilities of multicore processors. Yet this potential performance can only be attained through parallel applications, thus forcing software developers to rethink how everyday applications are designed. The most readily form of Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) within any...

  • Single-level dynamic register caching architecture for high-performance superscalar processors

    Creator:
    Liebert, John A.
    Abstract:
    The amount of instruction level parallelism (ILP) that can be exploited depends greatly on the size of the instruction window and the number of in-flight instructions the processor can support. However, this requires a register file with a large set of physical registers for renaming and multiple ports to provide...

  • Applications of Holographic Optical Tweezers: Multiplexed Fluorescence Spectroscopy and the Micromechanics of Type-I Collagen

    Creator:
    Cibula, Matthew A.
    Abstract:
    The development and some applications of holographic optical tweezers (HOT) are presented. Our HOT system uses a spatial light modulator (SLM) to control the location and properties of the optical trap. We have developed a method for optimizing the diffraction efficiency of a SLM that can be applied in situ...
