The Compression of IoT Operational Data Time Series in Automatic Weather Station (AWS)

This project examines compression algorithms for time series data from Automatic Weather Station (AWS). The main goal of the project is to provide a solution using data compression algorithm to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted from AWS to the server. Also to provide information about the comparison of algorithms that are suitable for application in AWS data. By reducing the size of the data, we can decrease the cost of transmission. Four compression algorithms are compared, those are Huffman Code, Arithmetic Coding, Lempel Ziv 7 (LZ77), and Lempel Ziv 4 (LZ4). At the end, the simulation and analysis have been carried out based on the results of experiments that have been done in the laboratory

Vitruvius+: An area-efficient RISC-V decoupled vector coprocessor for high performance computing applications

The maturity level of RISC-V and the availability of domain-specific instruction set extensions, like vector processing, make RISC-V a good candidate for supporting the integration of specialized hardware in processor cores for the High Performance Computing (HPC) application domain. In this article,1 we present Vitruvius+, the vector processing acceleration engine that represents the core of vector instruction execution in the HPC challenge that comes within the EuroHPC initiative. It implements the RISC-V vector extension (RVV) 0.7.1 and can be easily connected to a scalar core using the Open Vector Interface standard. Vitruvius+ natively supports long vectors: 256 double precision floating-point elements in a single vector register. It is composed of a set of identical vector pipelines (lanes), each containing a slice of the Vector Register File and functional units (one integer, one floating point). The vector instruction execution scheme is hybrid in-order/out-of-order and is supported by register renaming and arithmetic/memory instruction decoupling. On a stand-alone synthesis, Vitruvius+ reaches a maximum frequency of 1.4 GHz in typical conditions (TT/0.80V/25°C) using GlobalFoundries 22FDX FD-SOI. The silicon implementation has a total area of 1.3 mm2 and maximum estimated power of ~920 mW for one instance of Vitruvius+ equipped with eight vector lanes.This research has received funding from the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (JU) under Framework Partnership Agreement No 800928 (European Processor Initiative) and Specific Grant Agreement No 101036168 (EPI SGA2).
