This research presents an innovative approach to evaluating indoor spaces,combining qualitative attributes with numerical architectural metrics. A hypothetical comparative visualization system is introduced, utilizing HDR visual imaging and thermal imaging in 360° field of view across multiple indoor environments. The study aims to provide architectsand occupants with a user-friendly tool informing them about the primary considerations oftheir built spaces, with a specific focus on indoor environmental qualities in remote Arctic regions. Key inquiries delve into the efficacy of the spherical approach and the capacity ofcomparative visualization to offer insights into space quality. Preliminary experiments contrastindoor environments in terms of circadian lighting, thermal uniformity, and view access tooutside in the 360° field of view (VAR360). The resulting visualizations hold significance inintroducing an immersive approach for depicting specific non-visible environmental qualities,particularly in relation to the window characteristics of spaces. It demonstrates the integration of multiple environmental variables, both steady-state and temporal, from central pointswithin spaces, providing a comprehensive view over their non-visible qualities. These resultsshould be useful for researchers and practitioners within building sciences, computer vision,and photobiology, showcasing an out-of-the-box approach for categorizing indoor spaces basedon standards and human-environmental qualifications.

The Barnes-Hut approximation for N-body simulations reduces the time complexity of the naive all-pairs approach from O(N2) to O(N log N) by hierarchically aggregating nearby particles into single entities using a tree data structure. This inherently irregular algorithm poses substantial challenges for performance portable implementations on multi-core CPUs and GPUs. We introduce two portable fully-parallel Barnes-Hut implementation strategies that trade-off different levels of GPU support for performance: an unbalanced concurrent octree, and a balanced bounding volume hierarchy sorted by a Hilbert spacefilling curve. We implement these algorithms in portable ISO C++ using parallel algorithms and concurrency primitives like atomics. The results demonstrate competitive performance on a range of CPUs and GPUs. Additionally, they highlight the effectiveness of the par execution policy for highly concurrent irregular algorithms, outperforming par_unseq on CPUs and GPUs with Independent Thread Scheduling.

A general formula relating the waveform at the output of a CMOS inverter to the waveform at its input is derived. The formula is applied to three cases: a step input, a ramp input, and an exponential input. A one-dimensional functional dependence of the inverter propagation delay and output slew rate on circuit parameters is derived and an inverter macromodel for timing analysis is suggested and experimentally verified.

In the fault-tolerant distributed processing systems some failures may be still considered due to late failure detection and/or to transmission delays. The failures may be caused by both hardware or software. A method is introduced that bufferizes the information before using it and determines where the information may be used. The operation of a telephone system is used to illustrate this method used in duplicate data recovery.

An efficient deterministic BIST scheme based on partial scan chains together with a scan selection algorithm tailored for BIST is presented. The algorithm determines a minimum number of flipflops to be scannable so that the remaining circuit has a pipelinelike structure. Experiments show that scanning less flipflops may even decrease the hardware overhead for the on-chip pattern generator besides the classical advantages of partial scan such as less impact on the system performance and less hardware overhead.
A target structure for implementing fast edge-triggered control units is presented. In many cases, the proposed controller is faster than a one-hot encoded structure as its correct timing does not require master-slave...
