Large Power transformers, an aging and vulnerable part of our energy infrastructure, are at choke points in the grid and are key to reliability and security. Damage or destruction due to vandalism, misoperation, or other unexpected events is of great concern, given replacement costs upward of $2M and lead time of 12 months. Transient overvoltages can cause great damage and there is much interest in improving computer simulation models to correctly predict and avoid the consequences.

EMTP (the Electromagnetic Transients Program) has been developed for computer simulation of power system transients. Component models for most equipment have been developed and …

With increasing demands for performance by embedded systems, especially by digital signal processing (DSP) applications, embedded processors must increase available instructionlevel parallelism (ILP) within significant constraints on power consumption and chip cost. Unfortunately, supporting a large amount of ILP on a processor while maintaining a single register file increases chip cost and potentially decreases overall performance due to increased cycle time. To address this problem, some modern embedded processors partition the register file into multiple low-ported register files, each directly connected with one or more functional units. These functional unit/register file groups are called clusters.

Clustered VLIW (very long …
