In this paper we choose to compare three popular modifications of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) using the recent CEC'15 benchmark set. Three different approaches for PSO modification are compared: the heterogeneous swarm, diversity-guided swarm and orthogonal learning based approach. The goal is to provide up-to date comparison of the performance of these methods on a state-of-art benchmark set and highlight the differences in performance on different types of fitness functions. The experiments were carried out according to CEC benchmark rules and statistically evaluated.

Networks-on-Chips (NoCs) are meeting the growing inter-tile communication needs of multicore chips. However, achieving system scalability by utilizing hundreds of cores on-chip requires high performance, yet energy-efficient on-chip interconnects. As electrical interconnects are marred by high energy-to-bandwidth costs, threatening multicore scalability, on-chip nanophotonics, which offer high throughput, yet energy-efficient communication, are an alternative attractive solution. In this paper we consider silicon nanophotonic components that are embedded completely within the silica (SiO 2 ) substrate as opposed to prior-art that utilizes die on-surface silicon nanophotonics. As nanophotonic components now reside in the silica substrate's subsurface, a greater portion of a chip's real estate can be utilized by cores and routers, while non-obstructive interconnect geometries offering higher network throughput can be implemented. First, we show using detailed simulations based on commercial tools that such silicon-in-silica (SiS) structures are feasible, and then demonstrate our proof of concept by utilizing a hybrid SiS-based photonic mesh-diagonal links topology that provides both higher effective throughput and throughput-to-power ratio versus prior-art.

This study interviewed 33 students from four different institutions in a variety of engineering and computer science majors in order to understand how and why students study the way they do. The institutions involved in this research include two types of Carnegie 2010 Classifications (Master's L and RU-VH), geographical locations in the northwest, northeast, and midwest, both public and private institutions, and enrollments varying from 3,500 to 29,000 students (total undergraduates among all majors). Although this interview pool does not provide a large sample size, and thus results must be interpreted qualitatively and with caution, we found that a majority of students begin their studying alone and seek help only later when they run into trouble with their coursework. Despite the fact that this Start alone, End together model for studying was the predominant approach among interviewees, the reasons for choosing this mode of studying vary. For example, students at the small Women's college in this study reported easy accessibility to faculty as a reason to refrain from studying in groups, while students at the large research university reported a need to focus properly, learn fully, and make the most efficient use of limited time as the prevalent reason for beginning their study alone. Furthermore, when asked how they prefer to study, many students shift from a Start alone, End together model to a Start alone, End alone model, suggesting that students may have unrealistic expectations of being able to complete assignments and study on their own. Still other students, while making the best of Start alone, End together, expressed that they would much rather work in a group from start to finish. The results of our student interviews suggest the need for a larger study that investigates how prevalent the Start alone, End together model of studying is among a large, representative sample of engineering and computer science students and if it is an arrangement that stud
