Abstract— The design of robotic systems involves contributions from several areas of science and engineering. Electrical, mechanical and software components must be integrated to...
The parallel packet switch (PPS) extends the inverse multiplexing architecture, and is extensively used as the core of contemporary commercial switches. A key factor in the perfor...
Modern architectures implement relaxed memory models which may reorder memory operations or execute them non-atomically. Special instructions called memory fences are provided, al...
— Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are an indispensable tool for marine scientists to study the world’s oceans. The Slocum glider is a buoyancy driven AUV designed for mis...
Consumer electronics today such as cell phones often have one or more low-power FPGAs to assist with energyintensive operations in order to reduce overall energy consumption and i...
