Neurosim: Naturally Extensible, Unique Risc Operation Simulator, David Eric Mcneil
Neurosim: Naturally Extensible, Unique Risc Operation Simulator, David Eric Mcneil
Graduate Theses - Electrical and Computer Engineering
The NEUROSim framework consists of a compiler, assembler, and cycle-accurate processor simulator to facilitate computer architecture research. This framework provides a core instruction set common to many applications and a simulated datapath capable of executing these instructions. However, the core contribution of NEUROSim is its exible and extensible design allowing for the addition of instructions and architecture changes which target aspecic application. The NEUROSim framework is presented through the analysis of many system design decisions including execution forwarding, control change detection, FPU configuration, loop unrolling, recursive functions, self modifying code, branch predictors, and cache architectures. To demonstrate its exible nature, …
A Translation And Rotation Independent Fingerprint Identification Approach, Hongyu Wang
A Translation And Rotation Independent Fingerprint Identification Approach, Hongyu Wang
Graduate Theses - Electrical and Computer Engineering
This thesis describes a new approach for fingerprint identification that will be shift and rotation independent. Detailed descriptions of directional filtering, foreground and background segmentation, feature extraction, and matching based on structural correlation are the main topics of this thesis. The fingerprint identification system consists of image preprocessing, feature extraction, and matching which run on a PC platform. The preprocessing step includes histogram equalization, block-based directional filtering, thinning, and adaptive thresholding to enhance the original images for successful feature extraction. The features extracted will be stored in the database for matching. The matching algorithm presented is a modification and improvement …
Digital Model Of A Generic Infrared Tracker, James Michael Brown
Digital Model Of A Generic Infrared Tracker, James Michael Brown
Graduate Theses - Electrical and Computer Engineering
Personal computer based simulations are popular because of the wide availability of personal computers. In this thesis, a simple simulation model of a generic infrared tracker is developed for the personal computer. This thesis first centers on the definition of a generic infrared tracker and the development of a tracker model. The remainder of this thesis is a description of the personal computer based computer simulation model, and a discussion of results of simulation runs to characterize the tracker model response. The conclusion of this thesis is that the simple simulation model serves both as a prototype for developing a …
