A direct-execution parallel architecture for the Advanced Continuous Simulation Language (ACSL)

A direct-execution parallel architecture for the Advanced Continuous Simulation Language (ACSL) is presented which overcomes the traditional disadvantages of simulations executed on a digital computer. The incorporation of parallel processing allows the mapping of simulations into a digital computer to be done in the same inherently parallel manner as they are currently mapped onto an analog computer. The direct-execution format maximizes the efficiency of the executed code since the need for a high level language compiler is eliminated. Resolution is greatly increased over that which is available with an analog computer without the sacrifice in execution speed normally expected with digitial computer simulations. Although this report covers all aspects of the new architecture, key emphasis is placed on the processing element configuration and the microprogramming of the ACLS constructs. The execution times for all ACLS constructs are computed using a model of a processing element based on the AMD 29000 CPU and the AMD 29027 FPU. The increase in execution speed provided by parallel processing is exemplified by comparing the derived execution times of two ACSL programs with the execution times for the same programs executed on a similar sequential architecture

Efficient parallel architecture for highly coupled real-time linear system applications

A systematic procedure is developed for exploiting the parallel constructs of computation in a highly coupled, linear system application. An overall top-down design approach is adopted. Differential equations governing the application under consideration are partitioned into subtasks on the basis of a data flow analysis. The interconnected task units constitute a task graph which has to be computed in every update interval. Multiprocessing concepts utilizing parallel integration algorithms are then applied for efficient task graph execution. A simple scheduling routine is developed to handle task allocation while in the multiprocessor mode. Results of simulation and scheduling are compared on the basis of standard performance indices. Processor timing diagrams are developed on the basis of program output accruing to an optimal set of processors. Basic architectural attributes for implementing the system are discussed together with suggestions for processing element design. Emphasis is placed on flexible architectures capable of accommodating widely varying application specifics

An intelligent processing environment for real-time simulation

The development of a highly efficient and thus truly intelligent processing environment for real-time general purpose simulation of continuous systems is described. Such an environment can be created by mapping the simulation process directly onto the University of Alamba's OPERA architecture. To facilitate this effort, the field of continuous simulation is explored, highlighting areas in which efficiency can be improved. Areas in which parallel processing can be applied are also identified, and several general OPERA type hardware configurations that support improved simulation are investigated. Three direct execution parallel processing environments are introduced, each of which greatly improves efficiency by exploiting distinct areas of the simulation process. These suggested environments are candidate architectures around which a highly intelligent real-time simulation configuration can be developed

Blunt Injuries of the Abdomen

Management of closed abdominal injuries, produced by blunt violence, is one of the most challenging problems that the surgeon has to meet. It is usually made difficult by presence of associated injuries of the head, chest, or extremities, and the obvious severity of these may largely or completely mask the early evidences of abdominal visceral injury. It should be emphasized that, in general, injuries of the head and chest take precedence over those of the abdomen, and it is in the multipleinjury cases that intra-abdominal injuries are most frequently overlooked or undertreated. Blows to the abdomen received in sports or industrial accidents are promptly recognized and the patient carefully observed. It is those sustained in a serious automobile crash, a fall from a height, or a blast that present the diagnostic problem

The Kaleidoscope of Masks Used During Pandemic

Student generated description: FALL 2020 COVID-19 ARCHIVE PROJECT Mary “Connie” Chester Student #007250679 California State University San Bernardino 12/3/2020 Numerous topics have come to mind as something interesting to note for posterity. The “unsure-of-what-day-it-is-and-do-I-really-have-to-get-dressed?-ness” of COVID-19 restrictions, the pervasive social isolation and its myriad affects and effects, people’s confusion, anger, and politicization of the pandemic, yet another assault on the global economy, and personal efforts to “flatten the curve,” resulting in “fattening our curves.” Quite literally, nearly everyone I know has gained weight during this pandemic. However, I would like to write about the huge variation of face masks and how people seem to convey a kaleidoscope of art, emotion and fashion design via this personal protective equipment. I have attached some pictures for which I had permission to take, plus a few personal ones. I have observed such a huge variety of designs, conveying many emotions, including anger, submission, emojis (happy/sad faces, etc.), I have also noticed color-coordination to the person’s outfit, with a face covering for every mood, season, fashion design and taste. I have seen folks “glam-it-up” with various bling of sequins and beads (many are hand-sewn with hyper-acute detail). I have enjoyed wearers displaying hobbies and/or love of certain creatures/things. Example: Carrie, my hard-core-equestrian-devotee friend has made several with horses galloping across her lower face. Requirements for masking have aided many small businesses and cottage industry seamsters/seamstresses to fill the need for reusable masks, thus generating revenue. Also, it has sparked many folks to donate time and materials to make masks for charity. My friend, Donna, has literally made thousands of masks to donate to her church. Thank you for allowing my submission to this important project
