The CUNY Games Network is an organization dedicated to encouraging research, scholarship and teaching in the developing field of games-based learning. We connect educators from every campus and discipline at CUNY and beyond who are interested in digital and non-digital games, simulations, and other forms of interactive teaching and inquiry-based learning. The CUNY Games Conference distills its best cutting-edge interactive presentations into a two-day event to promote and discuss game-based pedagogies in higher education, focusing particularly on non-digital learning activities that faculty can use in the classroom every day. The conference will include workshops lead by CUNY Games Organizers on …

Adaptive Circuits Using Pfet Floating-Gate Devices, Paul Hasler, Bradley Minch, Chris Diorio
Adaptive Circuits Using Pfet Floating-Gate Devices, Paul Hasler, Bradley Minch, Chris Diorio
Bradley Minch
In this paper, we describe our floating-gate pFET device, with its many circuit applications and supporting experimental measurements. We developed these devices in standard double-poly CMOS technologies by utilizing many effects inherent in these processes. We add floating-gate charge by electron tunneling, and we remove floating-gate charge by hot-electron injection. With this floating-gate technology, we cannot only build analog EEPROMs, we can also implement adaptation and learning when we consider floating-gate devices to be circuit elements with important time-domain dynamics. We start by discussing non-adaptive properties of floating-gate devices and we present two representative non-adaptive applications. First, we discuss using …
Optimal Synthesis Of Mite Translinear Loops, Shyam Subramanian, David Anderson, Paul Hasler, Bradley Minch
Optimal Synthesis Of Mite Translinear Loops, Shyam Subramanian, David Anderson, Paul Hasler, Bradley Minch
Bradley Minch
A procedure for synthesizing multiple-input translinear element (MITE) networks that implement a given system of translinear-loop equations (STLE) is presented. The minimum number of MITEs required for implementing the STLE, which is equal to the number of current variables in the STLE, is attained. The number of input gates ofthe MITEs is minimal amongst those MITE networks that satisfy the STLE and have the minimum number of MITEs. The synthesized MITE networks have a unique operating point and, in many cases, the network is guaranteed to be stable in a particular sense. This synthesis procedure exploits the relationship between MITEproduct-of-power-law …
Synthesis Of Dynamic Multiple-Input Translinear Element Networks, Bradley Minch
Synthesis Of Dynamic Multiple-Input Translinear Element Networks, Bradley Minch
Bradley Minch
In this paper, the author discusses an approach to the synthesis of dynamic translinear circuits built from multiple-input translation elements (MITEs). In this method, we realize separately the basic static nonlinearities and dynamic signal-processing functions that when cascaded together, form the system that one wishes to construct. The circuit is then simplified systematically through local transformations that do not alter the behavior of the system. The author illustrates the method by synthesizing a simple nonlinear dynamical system, an RMS-DC converter.
Analog Vlsi Implementation Of Support Vector Machine Learning And Classification, Sheng-Yu Peng, Bradley Minch, Paul Hasler
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 …
A Long-Channel Model For The Asymmetric Double-Gate Mosfet Valid In All Regions Of Operation, Abhishek Kammula, Bradley Minch
A Long-Channel Model For The Asymmetric Double-Gate Mosfet Valid In All Regions Of Operation, Abhishek Kammula, Bradley Minch
Bradley Minch
We present a physically based, continuous analytical model for long-channel double-gate MOSFETs. The model is particularly well suited for implementation in circuit simulators due to the simple expressions for the current andthe continuous nature of the derivatives of the current which improves convergence behavior.
Designing A Small-Footprint Curriculum In Computer Science, Allen Downey, Lynn Stein
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
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.
On The Issue Of Decoupled Decoding Of Codes Derived From Quaternion Orthogonal Designs, Tadeusz Wysocki, Beata Wysocki, Sarah Spence Adams
On The Issue Of Decoupled Decoding Of Codes Derived From Quaternion Orthogonal Designs, Tadeusz Wysocki, Beata Wysocki, Sarah Spence Adams
Sarah Spence Adams
Quaternion orthogonal designs (QODs) have been previously introduced as a basis for orthogonal space-time polarization block codes (OSTPBCs). This note will serve to correct statements concerning the optimality of a decoupled maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding algorithm. It will be shown that when compared to coupled decoding, the decoupled decoding is only optimal in certain cases. This raises several open problems concerning the decoding of OSTPBCs.
