The document discusses the importance of innovation for organizations and provides guidance on developing an innovative mindset and culture. It outlines three types of innovation - product/service, process, and business model/strategy. Innovation can occur at different levels from incremental to semi-radical to radical. The document encourages embracing creativity, strategic thinking, and transformation. It also provides tips for innovating such as asking questions, thinking laterally, and cooperating across teams.
Accelerating Real-Time LiDAR Data Processing Using GPUsVivek Venugopalan
This document discusses accelerating real-time LiDAR data processing using GPUs. It summarizes that LiDAR sensors are being considered for unmanned vehicles but require faster processing. The authors developed GPU-based algorithms to optimize LiDAR intersection calculations for increased speed. Testing showed the optimized shared memory GPU implementation provided a 10x speedup over CPU and up to 179x faster than the unoptimized GPU method. This allows for improved sense-and-avoid capabilities needed for unmanned vehicle integration.
The document discusses five key mechanisms of the NEC3 Option C contract:
1) Disallowed costs which refers to costs that the project manager can disallow and deduct, including rework, unnecessary work, and repairing damage.
2) Compensation events which provide a contractual remedy for changes that affect time and money, such as damages. The contractor must quote compensation events and the project manager assesses if the quotes are correct.
3) Time management which involves start and finish dates, key dates, maintaining a regularly updated accepted program, and adjusting the completion date due to compensation events.
4) Communications which must be in accordance with the contract and facilitate cooperation between parties.
5) Defects

More From the Less of Design. Game and Level Design with the 80/20 Principle - by Ivan Beram. The updated and extended presentation delves into the use of this principle, or an expression of it, within the context of game development in way of game and level design; using the author\'s experiences working in the industry, with examples taken from his own CS map and also from credited titles: Far Cry and Fallout Tactics.

Vivek Venugopal (National Solar Observatory): Real-time control for the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (20 minutes)
Real-time processing for Adaptive Optics (AO) systems is challenging as the motion vectors have to be computed to properly actuate the mirrors before the wavefront information has become obsolete. The four meter Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) will provide unprecedented resolution for solar observation due to its larger aperture. The ATST AO system with 2 kHz frame rate camera, 1750 sub-apertures and 1900 actuators requires massive parallel processing and this increased demand in computational horsepower is far from being manageable by conventional processors. Hardware accelerators such as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) are better equipped to harness the the parallel processing requirements of such a system. We investigate the implementation of the data processing architecture for Shack-Hartmann correlation and the wavefront reconstruction using FPGAs and GPUs. We benchmark the AO algorithm implemented using FPGAs and GPUs and compare it with the existing legacy FPGA-Digital Signal Processing (DSP) based hardware system used in the 76cm Dunn Solar Telescope(DST).
Accelerating Particle Image Velocimetry using Hybrid ArchitecturesVivek Venugopalan
High Performance Computing (HPC) applications are mapped to a cluster of multi-core processors communicating using high speed interconnects. More computational power is harnessed with the addition of hardware accelerators such as Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) cards and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is an embarrassingly parallel application that can benefit from acceleration using hybrid architectures. The PIV application is mapped to a Nvidia GPU system, resulting in 3x speedup over a dual quad-core Intel processor implementation. The design methodology used to implement the PIV application on a specialized FPGA platform under development is described in brief and the resulting performance benefit is analyzed.

The document discusses developing ecommerce abilities and provides information on ecommerce methods and elements. It outlines why businesses need ecommerce to generate additional revenue and allow online purchasing. It describes ecommerce functionality including selecting products/services and payment options. Finally, it outlines secure platinum and gold ecommerce processes for businesses with and without merchant accounts to receive online payments.
This document discusses synchronization synthesis for large-scale parallel streaming applications. It introduces a proposed design flow called PRO-PART that uses a streaming application flow graph representation and configurable communication cores to map streaming applications to a multi-FPGA architecture in a way that guarantees overall synchronization. The contributions are mapping streaming applications to globally asynchronous locally synchronous architectures, the streaming application flow graph model, the PRO-PART design methodology, and ensuring synchronization by meeting input/output clock rates while hiding low-level communication details.
This document provides a guide to creating a green office and reducing costs through various sustainability measures. It discusses how offices use large amounts of energy, paper, and other resources, and presents strategies for improving efficiency. These include reducing paper usage, conducting energy audits, installing efficient lighting and appliances, improving heating and cooling systems, and recycling programs. Payback periods are provided for different initiatives, with many seeing returns within 2-6 years. The goal is to help offices lower costs while reducing environmental impacts.

1) The narrator uses their Kakuna against Falkner's Hoothoot in a gym battle.
2) Despite taking damage from Hoothoot's attacks, Kakuna is able to stall by using Harden and survives long enough for Hoothoot to faint from poison damage.
3) After defeating Hoothoot, Kakuna evolves into Beedrill during the battle. Beedrill is then defeated by Falkner's Pidgeotto, leaving the narrator to use Aipom for the final battle.
