JTEC Panel report on electronic manufacturing and packaging in Japan

This report summarizes the status of electronic manufacturing and packaging technology in Japan in comparison to that in the United States, and its impact on competition in electronic manufacturing in general. In addition to electronic manufacturing technologies, the report covers technology and manufacturing infrastructure, electronics manufacturing and assembly, quality assurance and reliability in the Japanese electronics industry, and successful product realization strategies. The panel found that Japan leads the United States in almost every electronics packaging technology. Japan clearly has achieved a strategic advantage in electronics production and process technologies. Panel members believe that Japanese competitors could be leading U.S. firms by as much as a decade in some electronics process technologies

tlCell: a software transactional memory for the cell broadband engine architecture

Dissertação apresentada na Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa para a obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Engenharia InformáticaOs computadores evoluíram exponencialmente na ultima década. A performance tem sido o principal objectivo resultando no aumento do frequência dos processadores, situação que já não é fazível devido ao consumo de energia exagerado dos processadores actuais. A arquitectura Cell Broadband Engine começou com o objectivo de providenciar alta capacidade computacional com um baixo consumo energético. O resultado é uma arquitectura com multiprocessadores heterogéneos e uma distribuição de memória única com vista a alto desempenho e redução da complexidade do hardware para reduzir o custo de produção. Espera-se que as técnicas de concorrência e paralelismo aumentem a performance desta arquitectura, no entanto as soluções de alto desempenho apresentadas s˜ao sempre muito especificas e devido à sua arquitectura e distribuição de memória inovadora ´e ainda difícil apresentar ferramentas passíveis de explorar concorrência e paralelismo como um camada de abstracção. Memória Transaccional por Software é um modelo de programação que propõe este nível de abstracção e tem vindo a ganhar popularidade existindo já variadas implementações com performance perto de soluções específicas de grão fino. A possibilidade de usar Memória Transaccional por Software nesta arquitectura inovadora, desenvolvendo uma ferramenta capaz de abstrair o programador da consistência e gestão de memória é apelativo. Neste documento especifica-se uma plataforma deffered-update de Memória Transactional por Software para a arquitectura Cell Broadband Engine que tira partido da capacidade computacional dos Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs) usando locks em commit-time. São propostos dois modelos diferentes, fully local e multi-buffered de forma a poder estudar as implicações das escolhas feitas no desenho da plataforma

Development of integrated sensor network for agro-meteorological data collection in Tanzania

A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master’s in Information and Communication Science and Engineering of the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and TechnologyGenerally, the variation of meteorological conditions has a significant influence on the agriculture sector. In Tanzania, most of the existing automatic meteorological stations are not working, and during the data collection the surveyed manual meteorological stations record meteorological data in the cards daily, but cards are sent in a month to month time interval to the respective organs, this makes the concept of early warning difficult. Therefore, having near-real-time meteorological data will enable crop monitoring and forecasting systems to monitor crop development and provide early warning to the farmers and the government. The advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) offers possibilities for developing an integrated sensors network to collect meteorological data on a near real-time basis. In his study, the developed integrated sensor network includes sensors, which record remote meteorological data such as rainfall, humidity and temperature, a communication network, and a web application that enhance data visualisation in both graphical and tabular format. In the communication system, the LoRa technology was used, which is preferable compared to other Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN), technologies such as NB-IoT and SigFox for this application. The developed system uses the LoRa Gateway Operating system which provides capabilities to build a private network, and make it more cost-efficient by reducing the operation cost for account subscription, in online platforms such as The Things Network (TTN), ThingPark, ThingSpeak, and Loriot to avoid free accounts limitations. Moreover, the developed system can work in remote areas with limited Internet access as the meteorological stations can communicate with the gateway at a distance of up to 25 km
