Expected Values For Cache Miss Rates For A Single Trace (Technical Summary), Russell W. Quong Jul 1993

Expected Values For Cache Miss Rates For A Single Trace (Technical Summary), Russell W. Quong

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The standard trace-driven cache simulation evaluates the miss rate of cache C on an address trace T for program P running on input data I with object-code address map M for P. We note that the measured miss rate depends significantly on the address mapping M set arbitrarily by the compiler and linker. In this paper, we remove the effect of the address-mapping on the miss rate by analyzing a symbolic trace T of basic blocks. By assuming each basic block has an equal probability of ending up anywhere in the cache,'we determine the average miss rate over all possible …


The Use Of Predicates In Ll(K) And Lr(K) Parser Generators (Technical Summary) , T. J. Parr, R. W. Quong, H. G. Dietz Jul 1993

The Use Of Predicates In Ll(K) And Lr(K) Parser Generators (Technical Summary) , T. J. Parr, R. W. Quong, H. G. Dietz

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Although existing LR(1) or U(1) parser generators suffice for many language recognition problems, writing a straightforward grammar to translate a complicated language, such as C++ or even C, remains a non-trivial task. We have often found that adding translation actions to the grammar is harder than writing the grammar itself. Part of the problem is that many languages are context-sensitive. Simple, natural descriptions of these languages escape current language tool technology because they were not designed to handle semantic information. In this paper, we introduce predicated LR (k) and LL (k) parsers as a solution. Predicates provide a general, practical …

Register Allocation Via Weighted Graph Coloring (Technical Summary), Russell W. Quong, Shu-Ching Chen Jun 1993

Register Allocation Via Weighted Graph Coloring (Technical Summary), Russell W. Quong, Shu-Ching Chen

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Register allocation by coloring an interference graph is a common technique. We introduce the weighted interference graph (WIG) which improves upon previous approaches in the following ways: (i) the cost of a coloring accurately models the cost of the register assignment, (ii) arbitrary register spills are handled naturally, as the coloring implicitly determines when and what registers to spill, and (iii) the allocation granularity is freely scalable from an instruction level to a per variable level. In particular, at any granularity, a WIG models the degree of interference between two vertices, which improves upon the traditional interference graph. The weights …


Pns Modules For The Synthesis Of Parallel Self-Organizing Hierarchical Neural Networks, Faramarz Valafar, Okan K. Ersoy Jun 1993

Pns Modules For The Synthesis Of Parallel Self-Organizing Hierarchical Neural Networks, Faramarz Valafar, Okan K. Ersoy

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The PNS module is discussed as the building block for the synthesis of parallel, selforganizing, hierarchical, neural networks (PSHNN). The PNS consists of a prerejector (P-unit), a neural network (N-unit) and a statistical analysis unit (S-unit). The last two units together are also referred to as the NS unit. The P- and NS-units are fractile in nature, meaning that each such unit may itself consist of a number of parallel PNS modules. Through a mechanism of statistical acceptance or rejection of input vectors for classification, the sample space is divided into a number of subspaces. The input vectors belonging to …

A Neural Network Approach To Stationary Target Discrimination, Douglas J. Munro, Okan K. Ersoy May 1993

A Neural Network Approach To Stationary Target Discrimination, Douglas J. Munro, Okan K. Ersoy

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The problem which motivated this research was that of stationary target identification (STI) with millimeter wave seekers in a heavy clutter environment. While investigating the use of neural networks to perform target discrimination phase for ST1 problem, we began to search for a method to reduce the computational overhead associated with training a neural network to recognize low probability events. Our search yielded the development of a likelihood ratio weighting function (LRWF), which is very similar to the weighting function used in importance sampling techniques employed in the simulation of digital communication systems. By incorporating the LRWF into the backpropagation …

Laboratory Study On Properties Of Rubber-Soils, Imtiaz Ahmed May 1993

Laboratory Study On Properties Of Rubber-Soils, Imtiaz Ahmed

JTRP Technical Reports

The waste tire problem in the United States is of great magnitude and has far reaching environmental and economic implications. This study investigates the feasibility of using tire chips, alone and mixed with soils, as lightweight material in highway embankments . The report contains: synthesis of all available information and results from laboratory testing of tire chips, rubber-Ottawa sand, and rubber-Crosby till. It is found that rubber-sand with chip/mix ratios of 33% or less exhibits excellent engineering properties: easy to compact; low dry density; low compressibility; high strength; and excellent drainage characteristics. On the whole, the rubber-Crosby till mixes do …


On A Quantitative Model Of Dynamic System Reconfiguration Due To A Fault, Gene Saghi, Howard Jay Siegel, Jose A. B. Fortes Apr 1993

On A Quantitative Model Of Dynamic System Reconfiguration Due To A Fault, Gene Saghi, Howard Jay Siegel, Jose A. B. Fortes

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

The use of dynamic reconfiguration has been proposed to tolerate faults in large-scale partitionable parallel processing systems. If a processor develops a permanent fault during the execution of a task on a submachine A, three recovery options are migration of the task to another submachine, task migration to a subdivision of A, and redistribution of the task among the fault-free processors in A. Quantitative models of these reconfiguration schemes are developed to consider what information is needed to make a choice among these methods for a practical implementation. It is pointed out that in certain situations collecting precise values for …

Rate Equations From The Keldysh Formalism Applied To The Phonon Peak In Resonant-Tunneling Diodes, Roger Lake, Gerhard Klimeck, Supriyo Datta Mar 1993

Rate Equations From The Keldysh Formalism Applied To The Phonon Peak In Resonant-Tunneling Diodes, Roger Lake, Gerhard Klimeck, Supriyo Datta

Birck and NCN Publications

Starting from the Keldysh formalism, general analytical expressions are derived for the current and the occupation of the well in the presence of inelastic scattering, both at the main peak and at the pho- non peak. These expressions are then evaluated from a continuous coordinate representation of a double-barrier potential profile and also from a tight-binding model of a weakly coupled central site. The resulting expressions are similar, and the analytical expressions derived from the continuous coordi- nate representation compare well with the results obtained from numerical simulations. The analytical expressions and the numerical results show that unlike the main …

Characterization Of Dual-Gated Fully-Depleted So1 Mosfets That Utilize Silicon Selective Epitaxial Growth, Suresh Venkatesan, Gerold W. Neudeck Feb 1993

Characterization Of Dual-Gated Fully-Depleted So1 Mosfets That Utilize Silicon Selective Epitaxial Growth, Suresh Venkatesan, Gerold W. Neudeck

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

Fully-depleted single-gated and dual-gated SOI MOSFETs are fabricated using both Epitaxial Lateral Overgrowth (ELO) and Confined Lateral Selective Epitaxial Growth (CLSEG). SOI MOSFETs and diodes are fabricated in thin (= 1500A) CLSEG films grown in pre-defined 2500A, thick cavities for the first time. In addition to the SOI MOSFETs fabricated using selective epitaxial growth, thin-film SO1 MOSFETs were also fabricated on SIMOX wafers. The one to one comparison between the two SOI technologies proves that the EL0 and CLSEG material is of at least as good if not better quality than that of SIMOX. Effective hole mobilities in the excess …
