The model of a flexible aluminum link with torque actuation (DC motor) at its hub is considered in modal coordinates, and a previously introduced time-optimal torque law for this system that can be implemented in real time is used. A sliding-mode controller for the DC motor is designed so that the torque generated by the motor converges to the desired time-optimal torque law. Computer simulations are included in this paper to illustrate the design idea.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122170133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, dynamic branch prediction techniques are investigated and methods to increase branch prediction accuracy are explored. A result of this analysis has been the development of several dynamic branch prediction architectures that combine promising aspects of accurate branch prediction methods currently implemented. The objective of this research was to provide an advanced high performance branch prediction architecture that can easily be incorporated into existing architectures without instruction set modification. Development of a hybrid branch prediction architecture that uses both global and local branch histories is presented and shown to have significant performance advantages. Several branch architectures are presented for performance.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129445606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An object-oriented model is proposed by the author which is derived from the AND/OR graph model. The goal of this paper is to prove the equivalence of these two models by showing that the result of an operation performed on either model will lead to the same state, provided that the system is in the same state in both the models before the operation is performed.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"301 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129315469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, controllers are designed for example systems to demonstrate the use of the method. The method is shown to yield smaller gain vectors than a previous method, and may be expanded to address more complicated design problems.","PeriodicalId":135973,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 28th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130440212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
