Bidirectional barrel shifters are used in a variety of algorithms because they can rotate a bit as many times as desired within a single cycle. However, as the number of input bits increases, the number of stages required increases and, accordingly, the hardware cost increases exponentially. In this paper, we propose a dynamic logic-based barrel shifter with customized domino logic for efficient hardware design. the proposed bidirectional barrel shifter has been implemented with 28nm CMOS technology, and in 32-bit configuration, power, performance, and area are improved by 36%, 19%, and 37%, respectively, compared to the conventional domino logic based approach.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have witnessed high interest lately due to different environmental, socio-political, and economic factors. the chargers of EVs are categorized into three levels;L1 and L2. these chargers have different power ratings and prices. On the other hand, many houses started to add distributed energy resources such as photovoltaic (PV) to their existing power service. this paper investigates the optimal level of an EV charger for a residential building with renewable energy. the optimization aims to reduce the energy cost during the lifetime of the EV battery. the optimization constraints include the EV state of charge, the charging/discharging power limits of the EV, the EV expected availability, the house service size, and the EV maximum number of cycles. the study also investigates the feasibility of conducting a power service upgrade while keeping a power reserve for future load uncertainty. the problem is formulated as a non-convex optimization problem utilizing the Gurobi solver. the optimization problem is solved for different scenarios presenting different loads, PV power, and EV availability scenarios. Case studies are conducted using household data in Los Angeles, CA. the studies evaluated the energy cost saving for different levels of the chargers in the case of various PV sizes and energy tariffs. this research is a collaboration result between three commonwealth campuses in Pennsylvania State University.

Efficiency is essential to support responsiveness w.r.t. ever-growing datasets, especially for Deep Learning (DL) systems. DL frameworks have traditionally embraced deferred execution-style DL code that supports symbolic, graph-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) computation. While scalable, such development tends to produce DL code that is error-prone, non-intuitive, and difficult to debug. Consequently, more natural, less error-prone imperative DL frameworks encouraging eager execution have emerged at the expense of run-time performance. While hybrid approaches aim for the "best of both worlds," the challenges in applying them in the real world are largely unknown. We conduct a data-driven analysis of challenges-and resultant bugs-involved in writing reliable yet performant imperative DL code by studying 250 open-source projects, consisting of 19.7 MLOC, along with 470 and 446 manually examined code patches and bug reports, respectively. the results indicate that hybridization: (i) is prone to API misuse, (ii) can result in performance degradation-the opposite of its intention, and (iii) has limited application due to execution mode incompatibility. We put forth several recommendations, best practices, and anti-patterns for effectively hybridizing imperative DL code, potentially benefiting DL practitioners, API designers, tool developers, and educators.

Supply chain (SC) risk management is influenced by both spatial and temporal attributes of different entities (suppliers, retailers, and customers). Each entity has given capacity and lead time for processing and transporting products to downstream entities. Under disruptive events, lead time and capacities may vary, which affects the overall SC performance. there have been many studies on SC disruption mitigation, but often without considering lead time and the magnitude of lateness. In this paper, we formulate a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model to optimize SC operations via a routing and scheduling approach, to model the delivery time of products at different entities as they flow throughout the SC network. We minimize a weighted sum of multiple objectives involving costs related to transportation, shortage, and delivery lateness. We also develop a discrete-event simulation framework to evaluate the performance of solutions to the MIP model under lead time uncertainty. Via extensive numerical studies, we show how the attributes of SC entities affect the performance, so that we can improve SC design and operations under various uncertainties.

Cyber Physical Production Systems (CPPS) operate for a long time and face continuous and incremental changes to follow up varying requirements. Interdisciplinary engineering of CPPS is often subject to delay and cost overrun;and quality control may even fail due to the lack of efficient information exchange between multiple involved actors. We propose to integrate a formal requirement specification approach, namely Generalized Test Tables including tool support, into industrial workflows and present the approach through extended notations of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), namely BPMN++*, withthe tool-coupling aspect. the suggested tooling enables automation engineers to follow the defined workflow systematically and communicate easier through the formally represented change requirement. the approach is demonstrated by two typical use cases of changing a CPPS' control software and showing the result by means of an extended BPMN++ model exemplarily.

Floor planning is an important and difficult task in architecture. When planning office buildings, rooms that belong to the same organisational unit should be placed close to each other. this leads to the following NP-hard mathematical optimization problem. Given the outline of each floor, a list of room sizes, and, for each room, the unit to which it belongs, the aim is to compute floor plans such that each room is placed on some floor and the total distance of the rooms within each unit is minimized. the problem can be formulated as an integer linear program (ILP). Commercial ILP solvers exist, but due to the difficulty of the problem, only small to medium instances can be solved to (near-) optimality. For solving larger instances, we propose to split the problem into two subproblems;floor assignment and planning single floors. We formulate both subproblems as ILPs and solve realistic problem instances. Our experimental study shows that splitting the problem helps to reduce the computation time considerably. Where we were able to compute the global optimum, the solution cost of the combined approach increased very little.

Diagnosis of faults in logic circuit is essential to improve the yield of semiconductor circuit production. However, accurate diagnosis of adjacent multiple faults is difficult. In this paper, an idea for diagnosis of logic circuit faults using deep learning is proposed. In the proposed diagnosis idea, two adjacent faults can be accurately diagnosed using three deep learning modules. Once the modules are trained with data processed from fault simulation, the number of faults and the location of the faults are predicted by the modules from test responses of logic circuit. Experimental results of the proposed fault diagnosis idea show more than 96.4% diagnostic accuracy.

this work is devoted to the determination of influence of the internal forces on the propagation of the waves in electromechanical systems. the task is simplified to an inverse problem for the third order hyperbolic equation withthe integral overdetermination condition and withthe unknown function in the right-hand side of the equation. Some numerical results are presented for viscoelastic medium and for liquid like water with solid parameters. the presented method gives us opportunity to find the precise analytical solutions to the mathematical problems that simulate the wave propagation.
