It is widely accepted that use of an Application Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP) in an embedded system can provide a solution which is much more flexible than ASICs and much more efficient than standard processors in terms of performance and power consumption. However a lack of an acceptable design methodology and supporting tools for ASIPs limits their use even today. We present in this paper a methodology for design space exploration of high performance VLIW ASIPs by modeling Application Specific Functional Units in Trimaran Compiler Infrastructure. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our strategy we consider two important applications FFT and Kalman Filter and perform compute intensive operations in these applications via special Functional Units. The results we obtain are very promising with up to 2× speed improvement.
We propose an application of SVD model reduction to the class of RBF neural models for improving performance in contexts such as on-line prediction of time series. The SVD is coupled with QR-cp factorization. It has b...

Aboard current ships, such as the DDG 51, engineering control and damage control activities are manpower intensive. It is anticipated that, for future combatants, the workload demand arising from operation of systems under conditions of normal steaming and during casualty response will need to be markedly reduced via automated monitoring, autonomous control, and other technology initiatives. Current DDG 51 class ships can be considered as a manpower baseline and under Condition III typical engineering control involves seven to eight watchstanders at manned stations in the Central Control Station, the engine rooms and other machinery spaces. In contrast to this manning level, initiatives such as DD 21 and the integrated engineering plant (IEP) envision a partnership between the operator and the automation system, with more and more of the operator's functions being shifted to the automation system as manning levels decrease. This paper describes some human systems integration studies of workload demand reduction and, consequently, manning reduction that can be achieved due to application of several advanced technology concepts. Advanced system concept studies in relation to workload demand are described and reviewed including. Piecemeal applications of diverse automation and remote control technology concepts to selected high driver tasks in current DDG 51 activities. Development of the reduced ship's crew by virtual presence system that will provide automated monitoring and display to operators of machinery health, compartment conditions, and personnel health. The IEP envisions the machinery control system as a provider of resources that are used by various consumers around the ship. Resource needs and consumer priorities are at all times dependent upon the ship's current mission and the availability of equipment pawnbrokers.

This paper analyses the application of multistage classifiers based on the k-NN rule to the automatic classification of handwritten digits. The discriminating capacity of a k-NN classifier increases as the size and dimensionality of the reference pattern set (RPS) increases. This supposes a problem for k-NN classifiers in real applications: the high computational cost required. In order to accelerate the process of calculating the distance to each pattern of the RPS, some authors propose the use of condensing techniques. These methods try to reduce the size of the RPS without losing classification power. Our alternative proposal is based on hierarchical classifiers with rejection techniques and incremental learning that reduce the computational cost of the classifier. We have used 270,000 digits (160,000 digits for training and 110, 000 for the test) of the NIST Special Data Bases 19 and 3 (SD19 and SD3) as experimental data sets. The best non -hierarchical classifier achieves a hit rate of 99.50%. The hierarchical classifier achieves the same hit ratio, but with 24.5 times lower computational cost than best non-hierarchical classifier found in our experimentation and 6 times lower than Hart's Algorithm.

This paper presents an innovative approach to self-adaptation of the structure of a fuzzy controller in real time. Without any off-line pretraining, the algorithm achieves very high control performance through the iteration of a three-stage algorithm. In the first stage, coarse tuning of the fuzzy rules (both rule consequents and membership functions of the premises) is accomplished using the sign of the dependency of the plant output with respect to the control signal and an overall analysis of the main operating regions. In stage two, fine tuning of the fuzzy rules is achieved based on the controller output error using a gradient-based method. Finally, the third stage is responsible of modifying the structure of the fuzzy controller, proposing that input variable which should get a new membership function in order to improve the control policy in an optimum way.

Maintenance and evolution of complex software systems (such as large telecom embedded devices) involve activities such as reverse engineering (RE) and software visualization. Although several RE tools exist, we found their architecture hard to adapt to the domain specific requirements posed by our current practice in Nokia. We present an open architecture which allows easy prototyping of RE data exploration and visualization scenarios for a large range of domain models. We pay special attention to the visual and interactive requirements of the reverse engineering process. The article describes the basic architecture of our toolkit, compares it to the existing RE environments and present several visualizations taken from real cases.
