One vision of dynamic hardware reconfiguration is to deliver virtually unlimited hardware resources to a set of hardware tasks implementing arbitrary functions. By using partial reconfiguration, these tasks can be allocated and de-allocated on the reconfigurable architecture while others continue to operate. However, the exact placement of each task can only be determined during runtime according to the current resource allocation. This requires relocating each task from its original position after place and route to an area of available resources. The process of relocating tasks can result in a major time overhead. In order to solve this problem we have developed the REPLICA2Pro (Relocation per online Configuration Alteration in Virtex-2/-Pro) filter, which is capable of performing task relocations by manipulating the task's bitstream during the regular allocation process without any extra time overhead. The filter architecture, our reconfigurable system approach as well as our design flow and an experimental system setup are presented in this paper. Copyright 2006 ACM.

In relation to the accidents due to bird nests in contact with overhead distribution lines, the authors investigated on deterioration of covered conductor by corona discharge. To simulate the situation where conductive nest material such as wire is in contact with both of an arm and a covered conductor, a copper wire was wound around the covered conductor and was grounded through a resistor which is used to observe corona discharge current waveform. The state of normal operation of 6.6 kV distribution line was considered and A.C. 3.8 kV was applied between the conductor and the ground. Weak corona discharge was observed. In order to carry out the acceleration test, A.C. 6.6 kV was applied. The insulation was punctured after 3760 hours. From the observation of cumulative charge by corona discharge the acceleration factor was estimated about 4. From the acceleration factor estimated, the life of conductor cover will be 627 days.

In this study, we use the strip-bending test to measure the residual stress of a thin film structure. The principle of the strip bending test and the test procedures are described and the analysis of the strip deformation is presented. The explicit formula for estimating the residual stress is given, which requires the initial stress as an input. As an example, the E-beam evaporated Au thin film is chosen, and the residual stress is measured by the present method. The Au thin film structure has a tensile or compressive residual stress depending on the film thickness. The tensile and the compressive residual stresses of Au thin film are successfully measured by the present method.

Current semiconductor technologies have become susceptible to high-energy neutrons from space. Following the trends in smaller transistors, lower supply voltage, and higher clock frequency, current microprocessors are susceptible to soft errors, which constitute the vast majority of hardware failures. Based on these trends, it is expected that the quality with respect to reliability becomes important as well as performance for microprocessors. In light of this, a lot of fault-tolerance microarchitectures are recently proposed. These studies mainly focus on detecting transient faults, and hence almost every previous study evaluated processor performance in the absence of faults. This analysis only presents the performance impact of constraints introduced by fault detection mechanism. One of the reasons why this evaluation methodology is widely selected is that faults are expected to be rare enough that the overall performance is determined by fault-free behavior. However, evaluating recovery cost of fault tolerant execution is also important, because it is predicted that transient hardware faults occur more frequently as semiconductor technology is improved. Therefore, this paper focuses on recovery from faults

This paper proposes an approach to save the energy consumed by a computer's wireless network interface card (WNIC) due to the wireless communication activity in an IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN). The energy efficiency design is considered at the MAC (medium access control) layer, especially in its distributed coordination function (DCF), by reducing automatically the number of retransmissions due to collisions on the wireless channel

In a sensor cluster, a large number of geographically distributed sensor nodes each make local measurements and transmit them toward the clusterhead. The clusterhead may schedule simultaneous transmissions from nodes within the cluster by identifying non-interfering areas in the cluster. Directional antennas that are oriented toward the clusterhead may increase spatial reuse and thus increase the number of simultaneous transmissions. On the other hand, the antennas' narrower coverage areas may reduce connectivity, thus reducing the number of sensors from which data can be collected. In this paper, we investigate this tradeoff between spatial reuse and connectivity in the context of the spatiotemporal sampling rate that can be achieved by the cluster. We also propose a simple analytical approach to optimizing the antennas beam width in order to improve the spatiotemporal sampling rate by maximizing the transport capacity of the network.
