Fully efficient systolic arrays for the solution of Toeplitz
matrices using Schur algorithm [1] have been obtained. By applying
clustering mapping method [2], the complexity of the algorithm is
0(n) and it requires n/2 processing elements as opposed to n
processing elements developed elsewhere [1].
The motivation of this thesis...
In this dissertation, multi-rate array (MRA) architecture and its synthesis are proposed
and developed. Using multi-coordinate systems (MCS), a unified theory for mapping
algorithms from their original algorithmic specifications onto multi-rate arrays is
developed.
A multi-rate array is a grid of processors in which each interconnection may have its
own...
The fungi that cause mold and stain of freshly sawn lumber result in millions of dollars in losses to the forest products industry. Stain and mold are typically prevented by either kiln drying or by application of a topical fungicide. While these treatments are effective, kiln drying is costly and...
My research has focused on understanding N and C cycling in soils at small scales. Isotope dilution methods commonly used to estimate gross rates of soil chemical transformations assume homogeneous distribution of label. I explored the effects of diffusion limitations on isotope dilution experiments in soil aggregates using spherical diffusion-reaction...
Increased global competition is forcing organizations to increase their use of group decision making today. Computerized group decision support aids (CGDSAs) are being developed to improve the efficiency of these groups and to improve decision quality. Even though the use of CGDSAs has increased, very little research has been done...
Mass transfer processes were evaluated in an artificial, non-uniform porous medium with a power law distribution of diffusion rate coefficients obtained from physical characterization of solute and porous medium. Breakthrough curves of several pulse experiments conducted at different velocities were compared (1) to analytical expressions for concentrations at mass transfer...
