OPTIMAL AREA AND PERFORMANCE MAPPING OF K-LUT BASED FPGAS

FPGA circuits are increasingly used in many fields: for rapid prototyping of new products (including fast ASIC implementation), for logic emulation, for producing a small number of a device, or if a device should be reconfigurable in use (reconfigurable computing). Determining if an arbitrary, given wide, function can be implemented by a programmable logic block, unfortunately, it is generally, a very difficult problem. This problem is called the Boolean matching problem. This paper introduces a new implemented algorithm able to map, both for area and performance, combinational networks using k-LUT based FPGAs.k-LUT based FPGAs, combinational circuits, performance-driven mapping.

OPTIMIZING LARGE COMBINATIONAL NETWORKS FOR K-LUT BASED FPGA MAPPING

Optimizing by partitioning is a central problem in VLSI design automation, addressing circuit’s manufacturability. Circuit partitioning has multiple applications in VLSI design. One of the most common is that of dividing combinational circuits (usually large ones) that will not fit on a single package among a number of packages. Partitioning is of practical importance for k-LUT based FPGA circuit implementation. In this work is presented multilevel a multi-resource partitioning algorithm for partitioning large combinational circuits in order to efficiently use existing and commercially available FPGAs packagestwo-way partitioning, multi-way partitioning, recursive partitioning, flat partitioning, critical path, cutting cones, bottom-up clusters, top-down min-cut

On Process Modelling Using Physical Oriented And Phenomena Based Principles

This work presents a modelling framework based on phenomena description of the process. The approach is taken to easy understand and construct process model in heterogeneous possible distributed modelling and simulation environments. A simplified case study of a heat exchanger is considered and Modelica modelling language to check the proposed concept. The partial results are promising and the research effort will be extended in a computer aided modelling environment based on phenomena

Criza valorilor în România si reprezentarea culturală a mitocăniei in Atlas de Mitocănie Urbană

After December 1989, Romania entered a long dark period of transition, that from communism to capitalism and democracy. Unfortunately, it seems that this intermediary stage has not ended yet (Pleşu 1996; Pasti 1995), and has turned into a carnival where every one of us is inevitably trapped into a mask-game, groping our way in the darkness of social, cultural, economic and political crises. Our paper takes special interest in the cultural crisis censured by the recent national campaign against urban rudeness initiated by Propaganda Agency and Guerilla Radio, between March 15 and May 15 2009, interactively engaging diversified media activism: radio broadcasting, print, TV, cinema, and even online. The media campaign aimed at denouncing the major types of “urban fauna” circumscribing the label of urban rudeness, with its female and male subtypes tagged in slang, although the language describing them is tele-encyclopaedic. We intend to address questions related to why the collection of “urban species” was printed in the format of an Atlas of Urban Rudeness, reasons why the collection itself forms an atlas, or why the species described form the contemporary urban “fauna”. We will also analyse the sources for launching such negative generalizations, the criteria taken into consideration when systematizing the species or the goals of cultural criticism.In the first part of our paper we briefly refer to the Romanian crisis of cultural values in the so-called period of transition and post-transition. The next step entails some theoretical considerations regarding categorization, stereotyping and generalization with both positive and negative ideological implications for social groups. The portrayal of rudeness is also considered, having in view its definitions through the ages, from Ion L. Caragiale’s hero to the type populating the contemporary Romanian society. The last part of the article attempts to answer questions related to the linguistic level of the articles from the Atlas, looking into the type of journalistic text, metaphorization processes, the linguistic instantiation of the forms without foundation/substance theory, or the sources of humour. Stereotypes are embedded in culture, so the media campaign, by way of its sharp moral penalty, called for cultural agency that would gradually substitute moral degradation with moral worthiness

INTELLIGENT LOW-POWER SMART HOME ARCHITECTURE

The Smart Home technology is a house that implements a variety of physical and digital well-integrated technologies, providing a number of functionalities like control of lighting, temperature, multimedia devices, flammable gas leakage, automatic plant irrigation or alarms security using a set of hardware components connected to a development board that can be accessed remotely through an Android application. First, is presented the context and a state-of-the-art for such of applications. Second, is made a description for the architecture hardware and software of a smart home application like custom. Finally, results are highlighted and some edifying conclusions
