A Unified Approach To Mixed-Mode Simulation, Roger D. Chamberlain, Mark A. Franklin
A Unified Approach To Mixed-Mode Simulation, Roger D. Chamberlain, Mark A. Franklin
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
This paper presents a unified approach to mixed-mode simulation. It investigates the algorithms for both logic and circuit simulation, considering their similarities and differences, and a general framework is presented for integrating the two algorithms in uniform manner. The time advance mechanisms and component functional evaluations of the algorithms are show to be similar in nature, and mechanisms for the translation of information represented uniquely in the two algorithms are given. The resulting integrated algorithms is capable of performing mixed-mode simulation, where a circuit is partitioned into discrete and continuous regions, and each region is simulated at the appropriate level. …
A Compiler For A Two-Dimensional Programming Language, Julie Wing Kam Choi
A Compiler For A Two-Dimensional Programming Language, Julie Wing Kam Choi
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
A visual programming language is presented. This language uses interactive graphics to convey notion such as subroutine, recursion, block structure, parallel and serial processing to school children. Currently the system is interpreter based. To overcome the inefficiency of the interpreter based system, a compiler is implemented for this language. This report gives an overview of the compiler and the details about the parser, semantic analyzer and the code generator. Finally, a performance comparison between the interpreter based system and the compiler based system is given.
Progressive Coding And Transmission Of Digital Diagnostic Pictures, Sharaf E. Elnahas, Kou-Hu Tsou, Jerome R. Cox, Rexford L. Hill, R. Gilbert Jost
Progressive Coding And Transmission Of Digital Diagnostic Pictures, Sharaf E. Elnahas, Kou-Hu Tsou, Jerome R. Cox, Rexford L. Hill, R. Gilbert Jost

In radiology, as a result if the increased utilization of digital imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), over a third of the images produced in a typical radiology department are currently in digital form, and this percentage is steadily increasing, Image compression provides a means for the economical storage and efficient transmission of these diagnostic pictures. The level of coding distortion than can be accepted for clinical diagnosis purposes is not yet well-defined. In this paper we introduce some constraints on the design of existing transform codes in order to achieve progressive image transmission …
Show And Tell User's Manual, Peter Mclain, Takayuki Dan Kimura
Show And Tell User's Manual, Peter Mclain, Takayuki Dan Kimura
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
The purpose of this report is to introduce essential features of the Show and Tell Language system to those computer users who are already familiar with some high-level programming language such as FORTRAN, BASIC or PASCAL. This manual is not intended for school children. Some familiarity with the Macintosh user interface and the MacPaint application program is assumed. It is also assumed that the Show and Tell application program disk and the Sample program are available to the reader. The basic programming concepts in Show and Tell are introduced in Chapter Three. The reader may find it easer to start …
A Systolic Parsing Algorithm For A Visual Programming Language, Adam W. Bojanczyk, Takayuki Dan Kimura
A Systolic Parsing Algorithm For A Visual Programming Language, Adam W. Bojanczyk, Takayuki Dan Kimura
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
In this paper we consider a problem of parsing a two-dimensional visual programming language Show and Tell on a two-dimensional array of processors. A program in Show and Tell is a bit-mapped, two-dimensional pattern satisfying a certain set of grammatical rules. The pattern consists of partially ordered set of rectilinear boxes and arrows distributed over the space of nxn pixel area. The corresponding directed graph, the box graph, where boxes are nodes and arrows are directed edges, may not have a cycle in a Show and Tell program. The cycle detection is the most computationally intensive stage of the parsing …
Lsim User Manual, Roger D. Chamberlain
Lsim User Manual, Roger D. Chamberlain
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Lsim is a gate/switch level digital logic similar. It enables users to model digital circuits both at the gate and switch level and incorporates features that support investigation of the simulation task itself. This user's manual describes the procedures used to specify a circuit to lsim and control the simulation of the circuit (i.e., specifying inputs vectors, running the simulation, and monitoring output signals).
