This work presents a computational modeling framework (CMF) for the algorithm formulation of timefrequency tools used in the signal characterization of wireless channels. The work centers on two important original contributions: the development of the CMF itself, which is based on group harmonic analysis and signal algebra operator theory, and the use of Kronecker products algebra (KPA) as an implementation tool-aid in the algorithm mapping of the timefrequency distributions to multicore computational structures. Performance evaluation results are presented which describe the scalability and extensibility attributes the KPA-based algorithm formulations. Implementation performance speed ups are also presented with respect to a PC-based cluster architecture used as a preliminary computational structure. Finally, the work demonstrates how time-frequency methods are instrumental in mapping one-dimensional impulse response functions of wireless channel links in a MIMO system into two-dimensional energy distributions through the use of time-frequency tools.

The purpose of this work is to develop a time-frequency signal analysis system to detect and recognize different kinds of power quality events or disturbances. To achieve our goal, design of computational signal processing methods is being addressed developing time-frequency tools based on signal algebra operators. The use of signal algebra operators permits the formulation of time-frequency algorithms in a computational framework setting, allowing the search for efficient hardware implementations. Time-frequency formulations are being implemented for embedded system applications using Digital Signal processing (DSP) and field programmable gate array (FPGA) units. Voltage disturbances are responsible for many disruptions in industrial, commercial and residential power supply systems, causing time and monetary losses. It is necessary to identify fast methods of determining when these disturbances are occurring in order to make correct power quality decisions. Automated information processing systems are needed to assess existing problems. Although a lot of work has been done on power line disturbance assessment, new techniques are desired to address new challenging power quality issues, specially in the area of physical security. Time-frequency signal analysis is a well known tool used in fields such as speech, sonar, and radar processing and is now finding its being in power quality assessment. A time-frequency representation is a two-dimensional representation that shows how the spectral content of a given signal changes with time. There is a genuine interest in this kind of representations for the field of power quality signal analysis systems since they provide more information than the typical one dimensional analysis. To achieve the goals of this work an environment is being created using MATLAB to simulate power line signal disturbances such as swells, sags, harmonic distortions, and outages. This environment computes desired time-frequency representations of

With recent improvements in single CPU performance, several issues become more important in multiprocessor design. Two of these are interprocessor communication and locality. In parallel systems with fast CPUs, locality is vital to performance. However, traditional parallel programming models such as shared memory or message passing do not naturally lead to programs that exhibit locality. In the paper, the Seamless model for interprocessor communication is presented which is based on locality and that allows the programmer to explicitly manipulate a program's locality to optimize performance. Additionally, this model can support latency tolerance with proper hardware support. Extensions to the C programming language that support this model are also presented. Finally, a parallel program utilizing this model is provided to illustrate the paradigm.< >
