The communication latency problem is presented with special emphasis on RISC (reduced instruction set computer) based multiprocessors. An interprocessor communication model for parallel programs based on locality is presented. This model enables the programmer to manipulate locality at the language level and to take advantage of currently available system hardware to reduce latency. A hardware node architecture for a latency-tolerant RISC-based multiprocessor, called Seamless, that supports this model, is presented. The Seamless architecture includes the addition of a hardware locality manager to each processing element, as well as an integral runtime environment and compiler.< >

The optical properties of thin film microcrystalline silicon (μc-Si:H) prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) have been studied by real time spectroscopie ellipsometry in the nucleation regime as isolated crystalline particles increase in size. A simple geometric model of nucleation allows us to remove the dominant effect of voids and extract the dielectric functions of the crystallites themselves. We find that the results can be understood in terms of a classical size effect whereby limitations on the electron mean free path by scattering at crystallite surfaces control the absorption onset from 2.0 to 3.0 eV. Finally, we describe how well-ordered, continuous 15 Å c-Si films can be prepared on metal substrates.

This paper focuses on the upper bounds for both the mean delay and the probability of cell loss that bursty arrivals incur in a finite capacity multiqueue system with nonexhaustive cyclic service. We compute the upper bounds for this system by considering a cell multiplexer with the same arrival processes and equal queue capacity. Under the ATM environment, the mean delay obtained from this multiplexer cannot only serve as an upper bound but also render a fairly accurate estimation for the mean delay of the polling system. For the cell loss probability, we consider a multiple urn model with uniform occupancy distribution which will guarantee the upper bound. A heuristic method is proposed to give better estimates for cases which have medium to high cell loss rate.

A mathematical framework for the solution of statistical inference problems on a class of random sets is proposed. It is based on a new definition of expected pattern. The least-mean-difference estimator (restoration filter) is proved, under certain conditions, to be equivalent to the minimization of the measure of size (area) of the set-difference between the original pattern and the expected pattern of the estimated (restored) pattern. Consequently, it is proved that, under certain conditions, if the estimator (restoration filter) is unbiased, then it is the least mean difference estimator (restoration filter).< >

An algorithm for converting relay ladder logic (RLL) programs for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) into sequential function chart (SFC) programs is introduced. Since an SFC (a standardization of Grafcet) better represents the sequential flow of control logic, it is considerably easier to understand and modify SFC programs. Existing RLL programs are converted into SFC programs by recovering the underlying sequential control logic. This conversion of the program representation is referred to as design recovery. A basic design recovery algorithm is presented and applied to a simple RLL program for one stage of a batch chemical process. Several fundamental issues in discrete control logic representation and analysis are also identified as fertile areas for future research.< >

Sub-100 nm P+/N junctions are fabricated by implanting wafers in the plasma immersion ion implantation system (PIII). Ions from SiF4 and BF3 plasmas are implanted at energies from 4-6 keV and 2 keV, respectively. The amorphous region formed by SiF4 im-plantion is shown to be effective in slowing B diffusion during a 10 sec, 1060°C rapid thermal anneal step. Channeling and transmission electron microscopy studies show the recrys-tallized amorphous region is comparable in quality to an unprocessed Si wafer, and the implantation and annealing sequence has no detrimental effects on the physical or electrical characteristics of fabricated devices. Diodes have forward ideality factors of 1.05 to 1.06 and reverse leakage as low as 2 nA/cm2 in the diode bulk at -5 V applied bias.
The fabrication procedure of heterostructure field-effect transistors (HFETs) such as modulation-doped field-effect transistors (MODFETs) typically includes two important etching steps. The first is the mesa etch for ...

Presents two recursive-in-order least squares algorithms for parameter estimation of 2D Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) models. Algorithm I implements the recursive computation by introducing auxiliary variables without changing the structure of the model, while algorithm II realizes the recursive computation by replacing the noncausal symmetric GMRF model by an equivalent causal nonsymmetric model. The concept of recursive path, which is used to increase the speed of computation of the model parameters and accomplish the choice of the optimal model support, is proposed. The computational complexity of both algorithms is O(M/sup 2/m) multiplications per order, where m is the total number of parameters and M/sup 2/ is the size of a sample image.< >
