Automatization of Analysis of Performance and Power Consumption

Tato práce se zabývá zvýšením efektivity superpočítačů. Vyšší efektivity lze dosáhnout pomocí snížení frekvence procesoru, pokud to daný algoritmus výrazně nezpomalí. Tato práce představuje sadu skriptů určených ke sledování spotřeby procesoru společně se skripty pro vizualizaci těchto naměřených hodnot. Dále také umožňuje jednoduché ovládání frekvence procesoru. Vytvořené řešení poskytuje uživateli možnost změřit efektivitu a optimalizovat výpočetní výkon počítače specificky pro jeho algoritmus. Díky této práci bude uživatel informován o tom, zda je výhodné provozovat jeho algoritmus na té či oné frekvenci procesoru.This thesis deals with increasing efficiency of supercomputers. Higher efficiency can be achieved by reducing frequency of processor if the algorithm does not slow down significantly. This thesis presents set of scripts designed to monitor consumption of processor along with scripts that visualize these measured values. It also allows easy control of processor frequency. The created solution gives user a capability to measure given algorithm efficiency and optimize computing power of specific computer exactly for the algorithm. Due to this work the user will be informed about whether it is advantageous to run his algorithm on one or other frequency of the processor.

The 2nd NASA Aerospace Pyrotechnic Systems Workshop

This NASA Conference Publication contains the proceedings of the Second NASA Aerospace Pyrotechnics Systems Workshop held at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico, February 8-9, 1994. The papers are grouped by sessions: (1) Session 1 - Laser Initiation and Laser Systems; (2) Session 2 - Electric Initiation; (3) Session 3 - Mechanisms & Explosively Actuated Devices; (4) Session 4 - Analytical Methods and Studies; and (5) Session 5 - Miscellaneous. A sixth session, a panel discussion and open forum, concluded the workshop

Abstracts on Radio Direction Finding (1899 - 1995)

The files on this record represent the various databases that originally composed the CD-ROM issue of "Abstracts on Radio Direction Finding" database, which is now part of the Dudley Knox Library's Abstracts and Selected Full Text Documents on Radio Direction Finding (1899 - 1995) Collection. (See Calhoun record https://calhoun.nps.edu/handle/10945/57364 for further information on this collection and the bibliography). Due to issues of technological obsolescence preventing current and future audiences from accessing the bibliography, DKL exported and converted into the three files on this record the various databases contained in the CD-ROM. The contents of these files are: 1) RDFA_CompleteBibliography_xls.zip [RDFA_CompleteBibliography.xls: Metadata for the complete bibliography, in Excel 97-2003 Workbook format; RDFA_Glossary.xls: Glossary of terms, in Excel 97-2003 Workbookformat; RDFA_Biographies.xls: Biographies of leading figures, in Excel 97-2003 Workbook format]; 2) RDFA_CompleteBibliography_csv.zip [RDFA_CompleteBibliography.TXT: Metadata for the complete bibliography, in CSV format; RDFA_Glossary.TXT: Glossary of terms, in CSV format; RDFA_Biographies.TXT: Biographies of leading figures, in CSV format]; 3) RDFA_CompleteBibliography.pdf: A human readable display of the bibliographic data, as a means of double-checking any possible deviations due to conversion

The teaching of electronics in schools and further education: a case study in curriculum change.

This case study describes the development of Electronics within the curriculum in line with how both (Reid and Walker I975, Case Studies in Curriculum Change) and (Goodson I983, School Subjects and Curriculum Change) discussed changes in terms of theories of curriculum change. Alternative definitions of the term innovation are reviewed and for the purpose of this study a definition is adopted which includes syllabus change and major changes of scale and strategy. The study gives an outline of the major theories of innovation and implementation strategy. Features of centralisation and rationalisation are described insofar as these features led to current educational initiatives. An account Is given of how Electronics developed as a topic within ‘A’ level Physics, a subject within B.E.T.E.C. (previously O.N.C/T.E.C.) and as a separate G.C.E. subject. Data on examination entries In G.C.E. and C.S.E. Electronics are presented. These data are related to the- size of L.E.A.s, the type of centre, and also to explore the viability of G.C.E./G.C.S.E. provision in Electronics. Initiatives such as M.E.P., T.V.E.I., C.P.V.E., S.S.C.R. are described as they are expected to have a significant impact on the growth of Electronics. The position of Electronics within the curriculum and its educational value are discussed. Comment is made on the Systems and Components approaches to Electronics and on the importance of project work. Teacher difficulties with project work are noted and suggestions are made on the use and range of equipment available so that a suitable teaching style may be -developed
