This paper presents a novel method called SPC-Indexed Indirect Branch Hardware Cache Redirecting (SPCIC) technique. SPCIC utilizes specialized branch instruction to represent indirect branches from guest programs while frequently-used target addresses are cached in a customized hardware mapping table. When translating an indirect branch, SPCIC queries the jump target cache first to achieve a fast redirection unless the destination address is not cached. Besides, SPCIC merely falls back to the software-based remapping approach when the query fails, improving the translation efficiency to the greatest extent. SPCIC is implemented on the QEMU platform to accelerate the translation of ARM payloads into RISC-V. Experiments are carried on SPEC2006 to demonstrate the effectiveness of SPCIC for reducing the runtime overhead of indirect branch translation.

To overcome this limitation, we propose an algorithm based on multi-scale CNNs, which capture features at different levels by introducing convolutional kernels of different scales into the convolutional layer. In this study, we first designed a multi-scale convolutional layer consisting of multiple convolutional kernels of different scales to extract multi-scale features of the image. To further enhance classification performance, we introduced a multi-scale feature fusion module that can effectively fuse features of different scales and classify them through a fully connected layer. Then we conducted extensive experiments on several commonly used image classification datasets. The experimental results show that this network can not only effectively identify and locate hyperspectral image targets in different scenarios, but also reduce missed detections and false positives during the detection process. The average accuracy of the improved model has been improved, and the recognition accuracy of some small markers affected by external factors such as occlusion and lighting has also been improved. In addition, by comparing the detection effect of a single image, the progressiveness and anti-leakage ability of the improved model are proved.

Different from existing fixed window LC-ADCs, which use a 1-bit DAC or scaler and two reference levels to move the input signal to the comparison window, a simplified scheme is proposed in which the DAC or scaler is removed and a single-reference level is used to create the comparison window. The proposed LC-ADC utilizes a single-reference comparator, which leads to a simplified implementation and significant reduction in power consumption and circuit area.

The WBAN plays a vital role in monitoring the physiological parameters of the human body with sensors. The sensors are small in size, and it has a small-sized battery with limited life. Hence, the energy is limited in the multi-hop routing process. The patient data is collected by the sensor, and the data are transmitted with high energy consumption. It causes failure in the data transmission path. To avoid this, the data transmission process should be optimized. This paper presents an advanced authentication and energy-efficient routing protocol (AAERP) for optimal routing paths in WBAN. Patients’ data are aggregated from the WBAN through the IoMT devices in the initial stage. To secure the patient’s private data, a hybrid mechanism of the elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC) and Paillier cryptosystem is proposed for the data encryption process. Data security is improved by authenticating the data before transmission using an encryption algorithm. Before the routing process, the data encryption approach converts the original plain text data into ciphertext data. This encryption approach assists in avoiding intrusions in the network system. The encrypted data are optimally routed with the help of the teamwork optimization algorithm (TOA) approach. The optimal path selection using this optimization technique improves the effectiveness and robustness of the system. The experimental setup is performed by using Python software.

First, engine torque, thrust eccentricity and initial stop angle are taken into full consideration. A six-degree-of-freedom nonlinear model is formulated for small UAVs, concerning both ground taxiing and air flight status. Then, the model was linearized using the principle of small disturbances. The linearized model expressions for both ground taxiing and air flight were provided. In addition, radial basis function neural networks are used for online approximation to address the nonlinearity and uncertainty caused by changes in aircraft aerodynamic parameters. At the same time, to compensate for the external disturbance and the approximation error of the neural network, the system robustness is improved by selecting reasonable design parameters. This helps the whole flight control system obtain better tracking control performance. At last, some simulation experiments are carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed mathematical modeling framework. The simulation results show that the proposal has stronger convergence ability, smaller prediction error, and better performance. Thus, proper proactivity can be acknowledged.</p>","PeriodicalId":54866,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Circuits Systems and Computers","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140151356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
