Analog Vlsi Implementation Of Support Vector Machine Learning And Classification, Sheng-Yu Peng, Bradley Minch, Paul Hasler
Bradley Minch
We propose an analog VLSI approach to implementing the projection neural networks adapted for the supportvector machine with radial-basis kernel functions, which are realized by a proposed floating-gate bump circuit with the adjustable width. Other proposed circuits include simple current mirrors and log-domain Alters. Neither resistors nor amplifiers are employed. Therefore it is suitable for large-scale neural network implementations. We show the measurement results of the bump circuit and verify the resulting analog signal processing system on the transistor level by using a SPICE simulator. The same approach can also be applied to the support vectorregression. With these analog signal …

Designing A Small-Footprint Curriculum In Computer Science, Allen Downey, Lynn Stein
Lynn Andrea Stein
We describe an innovative computing curriculum that combines elements of computer science, engineering and design. Although it is tailored to the constraints we face at Olin College, it contains elements that are applicable to the design of a CS major at a small school, a CS minor, or an interdisciplinary program that includes computing. We present the core courses in the program as well as several courses that are meant to connect the computing curriculum to other fields. We summarize the lessons we have learned from the first few years of this program.

Lachesis: A Job Scheduler For The Cray T3e, Allen B. Downey
Allen B. Downey
This paper presents the design and implementation of Lachesis, a job scheduler for the Cray T3E. Lachesis was developed at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) in an attempt to correct some problems with the scheduling system Cray provides with the T3E.
