This paper presents a lightweight AXI DMA controller architecture useful for embedded systems that do not require fully featured DMA controllers. Simulation is accomplished with VUnit, and implementation results are obtained on a Xilinx XC7Z010CLG400-1 FPGA. When compared with Xilinx's AXI DMA controller with the same configuration, the presented controller utilizes between 16 and 82% fewer resources with comparable speed.

The vast array of cloud providers present in today’s market proffer a suite of High-Performance Computing (HPC) services. However, these offerings are characterized by significant variations in execution times and cost structures. Consequently, selecting the optimal cloud provider and configuring the features of the chosen computing instance (e.g. virtual machines) proves to be a challenging task for users intending to execute HPC workloads. This paper introduces a novel component designed for effortless integration with existing HPC scheduling systems. This module’s primary function is to facilitate the selection of the most appropriate cloud provider for each distinct job, thereby empowering dynamic and adaptive cost-minimization strategies. Through the application of data augmentation techniques and the employment of Continuous Machine Learning, the system is endowed with the capability to operate efficiently with cloud providers that have not been previously utilized. Furthermore, it is capable of tracking the evolution of jobs over time. Our results show that this component can achieve consistent economic savings, based on the quality of the data used in the training phase.

In this paper, a novel approach to visual servo control robotic systems is proposed. It is focused on developing a solution using 3D point features without recovering the rigid object’s pose. Pose-free motion is achieved using motion parameterization techniques based on dual numbers and dual vectors. Considering an imposed velocity field over the motion of the 3D point features ensemble, this work proposes a close-form solution to a visual servoing problem. The solution provides stable motion control while preserving the image features in the field of view. However, when some point features leave the field of view, their contribution to the control law is dropped without losing stability. The proposed solution is easy to tune and implement. Various scenarios are used in simulations and real experiments to show how the proposed solution overcomes classic servoing problems.

This work presents the study and development of a high-gain hybrid DC-DC converter with switched capacitor for photovoltaic energy applications. Qualitative analyzes and quantitative values of the converter are proposed. The proposed converter is based on the converter boost integrated into switched capacitive cells with the addition of a small inductor resonant. A mathematical modeling of the converter was developed to determine the value of the resonant inductance, where the converter was analyzed for inductance values of 1uH at 2uH. This proposal presented some advantages: such as extended static gain, reduction of voltage stress in semiconductors and reduction of current peaks in switches. A 200 W prototype was developed and its respective results are presented. Maximum efficiency obtained was 97.1% for a voltage gain of 10.

This paper introduces a novel approach for classifying with the 1D Convolutional Neural Network model for partial discharge patterns, that consists of corona discharge, surface discharge and internal discharge. The PD measuring circuit suggested in IEC 60270:2000 is used to record Partial discharge signals. Independent parameters such as phase and charge of PD patterns were recorded. The Artificial Neural Network for the classification model was constructed. Moreover, 2×1D CNN feature extraction was utilized to reduce the curse of dimensionality in the dense layer of the proposed PD classification model. 80% of the recorded data will be used as a training data and 20% recorded data was used for testing of the classification models. Impacts of neuron numbers and network architecture on the PD classification performance will be observed.

This paper presents an FPGA-based low-power acceleration of sound source localization in HARK, open-source software for robot audition. Due to the massive matrix operations, sound source localization in HARK takes substantial processing time in edge computing devices. To balance processing time and low power consumption, two functions in sound source localization that include many matrix operations are targeted and migrated on an FPGA SoC board called M-KUBOS. Compared to CPU-based computing on ARM Cortex A53, our implementation achieved a 2.0× speedup and 1.7× lower energy consumption.

Having access to a reliable and accurate prediction of the short-term power demand is a fundamental step for the widespread adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs), as their charges may have a significant impact on the power system balancing. In this direction, we propose a short-term load demand predictor, based on distributed Long Short-Term Memory Networks, that employs consensus and fully-decentralized Federated Learning (FL) algorithms to seek cooperation among multiple points of charge without the requirement of sharing any user-related data.

This paper proposes a linear quadratic regulator (LQR)-based controller for a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) with a supercapacitor (SC) system to ensure a smooth transition of control mode when the SC is unavailable (completely charged) during fault operations. The SC improves the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of the PV system by quickly balancing power between the PV system and the grid. When the SC reaches its full charge capacity, the DC-link voltage will be controlled by the inverter’s controller, and the PV system may need to curtail its power generation. During the transition, fluctuations in the DClink voltage can occur which can compromise the stability of the PV system, especially when the control mode switching happens during severe fault operations. The proposed LQR-based controller is validated on a hardware testbed platform to demonstrate its effectiveness in reducing DC-link overvoltage during the control mode transitions. As a result, the PV system can remain compliant with LVRT requirements while maintaining stability during fault operations.
