They provide support to the design complexity of embedded systems. MPSoCs will combine several types of processor cores and data memory units of widely different sizes, leading to a very heterogeneous architecture. As the feature size is continuously decreasing and integration density is increasing, interconnections have become a dominating factor in determining the overall quality of a chip. Network on Chip (NoC) is a new paradigm to make the interconnections inside a System on Chip (SoC) system. In traditional solutions interconnections are realized using a bus structure. Due to the limited scalability of system bus, it cannot meet the requirement of current System-on-Chip (SoC) implementations. Bus starts to be narrow and in the worst case it begins to block traffic. In NoC technology the bus structure is replaced with a network which is similar to the Internet. Nowadays NoCs are a well established research topic and several implementations have been proposed. Some techniques are proposed to improve NoC performance in terms of latency and throughput while others are proposed to improve area utilization and power consumption. An important research in NoC design is the trade off between area/power and performance. In order to improve performance some techniques tend to increase the number of buffers, this method increases area and power consumption. This paper introduces new router architecture called the Reconfigurable router, which improves the performance of the overall network using the same amount of available buffers but in more efficient way. Therefore there is no need to increase the size of which cause high power consumption, area overheads, and complex logic.","PeriodicalId":370150,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA)","volume":"14 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132728486","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, we present machine learning approaches to relate the graph topology based characteristics of such bio-inspired WSNs to their network-level robustness in terms of average packet transmission efficiency. In particular, we generate a support vector regression model using the graph metric features as input data.

In several applications like coastal surveillance and harbour defence, source number estimation has to be performed in a shallow ocean environment. In this paper, the Gerschgorin disk estimator (GDE) method of source number estimation in an unbounded medium is extended for operation in a shallow oceanic waveguide. Classical methods of source number estimation such as Akaike information criterion (AIC) and minimum description length (MDL) require (1) good estimates of the eigenvalues of the spectral correlation matrix, and (2) the assumption of white Gaussian noise to be valid. The GDE method does not suffer from these limitations. A theoretical formulation of the GDE method in a shallow ocean is presented in this paper for acoustic vector sensor (AVS) and acoustic pressure sensor (APS) arrays. Simulation results are then presented to illustrate the advantages of the GDE method and the superior performance of the AVS array in a shallow ocean environment.","PeriodicalId":370150,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116806015","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}

Those intersected or overlapped regions are termed as contamination sites. In this paper, we propose a scheme for concurrent routing of multiple droplets with avoidance or minimization in cross-contamination, followed by a wash droplet scheduling operation for residue removal in the contamination sites. The proposed method is based on a hierarchical partitioning method that generates an unbalanced tree structure containing routing nets in the different nodes on the tree. The proposed partitioning technique is guided by the bounding boxes of the routing nets that help in avoiding intersection in routing paths in different partitioned zone/area. During droplet routing, our aim is to optimize resource utilizations, and minimize cross-contamination in a partition. Any cross-contamination site is washed with proper scheduling of wash droplets in the intermediate routing stages, and a shortest path based wash droplet operation is adopted to minimize routing overhead, or total routing completion time. Different observations are made by applying our algorithm on real benchmarks, and experimental results show improvement in many cases.","PeriodicalId":370150,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th International Conference on Intelligent Systems Design and Applications (ISDA)","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117259051","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}
