  • Multithreaded virtual processor on DSM

    Creator:
    An, Ho Seok
    Abstract:
    Modern superscalar processors exploit instruction-level parallelism (ILP) by issuing multiple instructions in a single cycle because of increasing demand for higher performance in computing. However, stalls due to cache misses severely degrade the performance by disturbing the exploitation of ILP. Multiprocessors also greatly exacerbate the memory latency problem. In SMPs,...

  • A resource-constrained scheduling scheme that considers resources operating at multiple voltages and register assignment

    Creator:
    Lee, Chee
    Abstract:
    Power and timing requirements are becoming more and more stringent as applications move from less mobile devices to more mobile ones. As such, it is important to optimize these applications as much as possible in order to provide the best solution that is low power and low latency. Although there...

  • Modeling and experimental verification of electric and magnetic fields generated by undersea power transmission cables

    Creator:
    York, Charles E.
    Abstract:
    As interest grows in developing devices to harvest energy from ocean waves, tidal currents, and offshore wind, concerns over possible environmental effects from such devices also grow. One such concern is over the induced electric fields and the generated magnetic fields from generators and their associated submarine power cables in...

  • Investigation of the Effect of Pulsed Direct Current on Methane Conversion and Reforming in a Point-to-Point Plasma Discharge Microreactor

    Creator:
    Shareghi, Adam E. L.
    Abstract:
    Stranded natural gas and biogas comprise a vast energy resource that is mostly wasted via flaring. This represents an opportunity to investigate novel ways to harness this resource. Nonthermal plasmas consist of excited electrons, ions and neutral atoms/molecules that have the ability to disrupt chemical bonds at ambient temperatures and...

  • Solution-based Chalcogenide Thin Film Deposition

    Creator:
    Pan, Changqing
    Abstract:
    As a group of promising semiconductor materials, metal chalcogenides in thin film form have been widely used in electronics and optoelectronics applications, such as solar cell devices and photon sensors. Unfortunately, the film size and product throughput are limited by the current vacuum-based thin film deposition techniques. Solution-based thin film...

  • Detection of actinides via nuclear isomer de-excitation

    Creator:
    Francy, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    The detection of illicit weapons-grade nuclear material is a significant technical challenge receiving a great deal of attention in the nuclear community. A proposed solution is to actively bombard the material under investigation with neutrons, populating nuclear isomers in any potential fissile material. These isomers decay quickly, releasing gamma rays...
