In this era, the requirement of high-performance computing at low power cost can be met by the parallel execution of an application on a large number of programmable cores. Emerging many-core architectures provide dense interconnection fabrics leading to new communication requirements. In particular, the effective exploitation of synchronous and asynchronous channels for fast communication from/to internal cores and external devices is a key issue for these architectures. In this paper, we propose a methodology for clustering sequential commands used for configuring the parallel execution of tasks on a globally asynchronous locally synchronous multi-chip many-core neuromorphic platform. With the purpose of reducing communication costs and maximise the exploitation of the available communication bandwidth, we adapted the Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) algorithm for clustering the unicast streams of packets used for the configuration of each core so as to generate a coherent multicast stream that configures all cores at once. In preliminary experiments, we demonstrate how the proposed method can lead up to a 97% reduction in packet transmission thus positively affecting the overall communication cost.

In this paper, we evaluate a partitioning and placement technique for mapping concurrent applications over a globally asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) multi-core architecture designed for simulating a spiking neural network (SNN) in real-time. We designed a task placement pipeline capable of analysing the network of neurons and producing a placement configuration that enables a reduction of communication between computational nodes. The neuronto-core mapping problem has been formalised as a two phases problem: Partitioning and Placement. The Partitioning phase aims at grouping together the most connected network components, maximising the amount of self-connections within each identified group. For this purpose we used a multilevel k-way graph partitioning strategy capable of generating network-partitions. The Placement phase aims at placing groups of neurons over the chip mesh minimising the communication between computational nodes. For implementing this step, we designed and evaluate the performances of three placement variants. In the results, we point out the importance of using a partitioning algorithm for the SNN graph. We were able to achieve an increase in self-connections of 19% and an improvement of the final overall post-placement synaptic elongation of 29% using the simulated annealing placement technique, compared to 22% obtained without partitioning.

Feature design and selection is one of the first steps towards successful fault detection and diagnosis. Data from different sources can contain complimentary information about a monitored system. Hence methods which fuse features from multiple sources can often detect and diagnose a greater number of fault modes with higher confidence. However, solutions that require data from multiple sensors as inputs can be susceptible to failure if one or more of those sensors cease to function. Optimally a solution will fuse data from a sufficient number of sensors so that the advantages of sensor fusion are realized, while the robustness of the system is retained. In this paper the authors investigate how the best subset of features might differ for fault detection and fault severity diagnosis in a multiphase flow facility case study. ReliefF, which is a K-nearest neighbors-based feature selection filter, is used to rank the features for different problems. The dataset used for the analysis contains data from various operating conditions and induced faults with various severities. It was found that the optimal subset of features varied for different monitoring problems. It was also shown that including features that are ranked as being uninformative into a fault classifier can also impact the robustness of the classifier to sensor failures.

The visual system is the most important sensory organ of human beings. Most of the external information obtained by human beings comes from vision. With the continuous exploration of the natural world by human beings, people always hope to realize the function of human perception through some digital machine and automatically acquire the information of the outside world. The traditional CamShift algorithm needs to manually locate the target during tracking, and it can be used in complex backgrounds such as color interference and occlusion. In this paper, a comfortable and autonomous swimmer tracking algorithm based on Kalman filter with CamShift is proposed. First, we use the Canny edge detection and inter-frame difference method to segment the entire region of the moving swimmer and then use the extracted target region to initialize the CamShift algorithm. The modified search window supports the automatic tracking of the swimmer. When there is similar color interference in the background, or the swimmer is severely impeded, an improved algorithm combined the Kalman filter with the CamShift algorithm for tracking the target accurately. Experimental results confirmed that the enhanced algorithm significantly improves the outcomes and it can still follow the object effectively and steadily under severe occlusion, noisy environment and color interference.

In this paper we propose a pipeline for brain mapping using a decentralized database with a blockchain architecture. We use a two-layer model for a distributed imaging data ledger capable of version control and authoring augmented data. Our platform is capable of direct volume rendering inside a browser window using WebGL. The data visualization pipeline allows for real-time multi-intensity transfer functions and global opacity of a given imaging recording. The platform is intended as a collaboration tool for multiple imaging laboratories and institutes and aims to help in organizing augmented data and multiple level-of-detail recordings used on a wide array of devices. We believe our platform will aid in brain mapping efforts for classification, measurement and visualization of cortical structures trough the aid of virtual reality and a scalable backend based on a standard blockchain technology.
