  • A remotely operated, autonomous wave energy converter system

    Creator:
    Lewis, Timothy M.
    Abstract:
    The potential for electric energy generation from ocean waves is substantial and much research is being conducted on the conversion process as a renewable, grid-connected, power source. Some of the same attributes that make wave energy harvesting attractive as a grid-connected source also make it attractive as a remote, or...

  • Power reduction of MPEG video decoding for mobile multimedia systems

    Creator:
    Lewis, James M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to explore methods which can reduce the power dissipation of a mobile system while decoding MPEG video. MPEG decoding is a microprocessor intensive process that makes heavy use of both the L1 and L2 caches as well as main memory. The heavy load placed...

  • Performance monitoring of parallel applications at large grain level

    Creator:
    Yadav, Anil Kumar
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an attempt to create a methodology to analyze the performance of parallel applications on a wide variety of platforms and programming environments. First we determined the monitoring functions required to collect traces for accurate representation of the parallel application. We used the Extended Large Grain Data Flow...

  • Designing a high level microprogramming language

    Creator:
    Malik, Kamran
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to design a high level language (HLL) suitable for microprogramming. A top down design technique has been adopted which makes the language design process simple and accurate. The primitive operations of a high level language for producing emulators is shown to include special purpose...

  • Optimizing the microcode produced by a high level microprogramming language

    Creator:
    Ma, Perng-Yi
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this research is to develop methods to translate a certain machine independent intermediate language (IML) to efficient horizontal microprograms for a class of microprogrammable machines. This IML has been developed by Malik (12) and is compiled directly from a high level microprogramming language used to implement a...

  • Static task scheduling and grain packing in parallel processing systems

    Creator:
    Kruatrachue, Boontee
    Abstract:
    We extend previous results for optimally scheduling concurrent program modules, called tasks, on a fixed, finite number of parallel processors in two fundamental ways: (1) we introduce a new heuristic which considers the time delay imposed by message transmission among concurrently running tasks; and (2) we introduce a second heuristic...

  • A new loop structure for distributed microcomputing systems

    Creator:
    Jafari, Hossein
    Abstract:
    A new modular loop architecture for distributed computer systems has been developed and compared with three of the most prominent loop architectures currently being used. The competitive loops with which the new architecture has been compared are the Newhall loop, the Pierce loop and the DLCN loop. The four loop...

  • Development of a 300 Hp regenerative motor and generator test facility

    Creator:
    Lewis, Timothy M. (Timothy Michael)
    Abstract:
    A 300 hp motor and generator testing facility is being completed at Oregon State University. The testing center is the largest independent testing facility west of the Mississippi River. This regional resource center will incorporate state-of-the-art features that set it apart from other testing facilities. An induction machine with a...

  • Analysis and modeling of coplanar on-chip interconnects on silicon substrates

    Creator:
    Luoh, Yi
    Abstract:
    The electrical behavior of on-chip interconnects has become a dominant factor in silicon-based high speed, RF, and mixed-signal integrated circuits. In particular, the frequency-dependent loss mechanisms in heavily-doped silicon substrates can have a large influence on the transmission characteristics of on-chip interconnects. To optimize the performance of the integrated circuit,...
