SmartCore System for Dependable Many-core Processor with Multifunction Router...Shinya Takamaeda-Y
The document proposes the SmartCore system for dependable many-core processors. The SmartCore system uses redundant cores and multifunction routers to enable error detection via network-on-chip-based double modular redundancy (NoC-based DMR). The multifunction routers can copy packets, change packet destinations, and wait to compare packets from paired cores, allowing detection of errors between core outputs. An evaluation shows the SmartCore approach incurs low performance overhead of up to 4% and hardware implementation was demonstrated on an FPGA prototyping system.

Pragmatic optimization in modern programming - modern computer architecture c...Marina Kolpakova
There are three key aspects of computer architecture: instruction set architecture, microarchitecture, and hardware design. Modern architectures aim to either hide latency or maximize throughput. Reduced instruction set computers (RISC) became popular due to simpler decoding and pipelining allowing higher clock speeds. While complex instruction set computers (CISC) focused on code density, RISC architectures are now dominant due to their efficiency. Very long instruction word (VLIW) and vector processors targeted specialized workloads but their concepts influence modern designs. Load-store RISC architectures with fixed-width instructions and minimal addressing modes provide an optimal balance between performance and efficiency.

This encryption method is versatile used for military applications. The same key is used for decryption to recover the original 128 bit plain text. For high speed applications, the Non LUT based implementation of AES S-box and inverse S-box is preferred. Development of physical design of AES-128 bit is done using cadence SoC encounter.

The document describes a technique for automated data acquisition from an X-band microwave bench. A personal computer uses a stepper motor to move a plunger in a liquid cell, and an analog-to-digital converter card interfaces with the microwave bench detector to measure the reflected power at different plunger positions. Software controls the stepper motor and records the measurements, allowing accurate determination of dielectric properties without manual operation. Table 1 shows example data collected, listing the plunger position in mm and corresponding detected microwave power for an air-filled liquid cell. This automated process provides more precise measurements than the traditional manual method.

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
