Wireless networks-on-chips (WINoCs) hold substantial promise for enhancing multicore integrated circuit performance, by augmenting conventional wired interconnects. As the number of cores per IC grows, intercore communication requirements will also grow, and WINoCs can be used to both save power and reduce latency. In this article, we briefly describe some of the key challenges with WINoC implementation, and also describe our example design, iWISE, which is a scalable wireless interconnect design. We show that the integration of wireless interconnects with wired interconnects in NoCs can reduce overall network power by 34 percent while achieving a speedup of 2.54 on real …


Comprehensive Solution To Scattering By Bianisotropic Objects Of Arbitrary Shape, Chong Mei, Moamer Hasanovic, Jay K. Lee, Ercument Arvas Jun 2012

Comprehensive Solution To Scattering By Bianisotropic Objects Of Arbitrary Shape, Chong Mei, Moamer Hasanovic, Jay K. Lee, Ercument Arvas

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

This paper presents a method of moments (MoM) solution for the problems of electromagnetic scattering by inhomogeneous three- dimensional bianisotropic scatterers of any shape. The electromagnetic response of bianisotropy has been described by the constitutive relations of the most general form composed of four 3 X 3 matrices or tensors. The volume equivalence principle is used to obtain a set of mixed potential formulations for a proper description of the original scattering problem. Here, the total fields are separated into the incident fields and the scattered fields. The scattered fields are related to the electric and magnetic potentials which are …


Generation Of A Wide-Band Response Using Early-Time And Middle-Frequency Data Throught The Use Of Orthogonal Fuctions, Woojin Lee, Tapan Kumar Sarkar, Jinhwan Koh, Hong Sik Moon, Magdalena Salazar Palma Jun 2012

Generation Of A Wide-Band Response Using Early-Time And Middle-Frequency Data Throught The Use Of Orthogonal Fuctions, Woojin Lee, Tapan Kumar Sarkar, Jinhwan Koh, Hong Sik Moon, Magdalena Salazar Palma

Abstract|Generation of a wide-band response using partial information from the time domain (TD) data and frequency domain (FD) data has been accomplished in this paper through the use of three different orthogonal functions, such as the continuous Laguerre functions, the Bessel-Chebyshev functions, and the associate Hermite functions. In this hybrid approach, one can generate the early-time response using the method of marching-on-in-time (MOT) and use the method of moment (MOM) to generate the middle-frequency response, as the low-frequency data may be unstable. Since the early-time and the middle-frequency data are mutually complimentary, they can provide the missing low- and high-frequency …


Investigation Of New Hampshire Hydropower Potential, Maxwell Murray Apr 2012

Investigation Of New Hampshire Hydropower Potential, Maxwell Murray

Honors Theses and Capstones

The popularity of green and renewable energy has risen sharply in recent years, and hydropower has consistently been the most common form of renewable energy in both the US and the state of New Hampshire. As a result of this strong green movement, government organizations have seen increased pressure to produce figures to the public detailing the amount of hydropower potentially available in the country. Often these figures will depict very attractive numbers for the untapped hydropower potential in the country, yet the data do not seem realistic to anyone familiar with hydropower generation. This paper will attempt to de-rate …


On Noise-Enhanced Distributed Inference In The Presence Of Byzantines, Mukul Gagrani, Pranay Sharma, Venkata Sriram Siddhardh Nadendla, Aditya Vempaty, Pramod Varshney Jan 2012

On Noise-Enhanced Distributed Inference In The Presence Of Byzantines, Mukul Gagrani, Pranay Sharma, Venkata Sriram Siddhardh Nadendla, Aditya Vempaty, Pramod Varshney

This paper considers the noise-enhanced distributed detection problem in the presence of Byzantine (malicious) nodes by suitably adding stochastic resonance (SR) noise. We consider two metrics - the minimum number of Byzantines (alpha_blind) needed to blind the fusion center as a security metric and the Kullback- Leibler divergence (DKL) as a detection performance metric. We show that alpha_blind increases when SR noise is added at the honest nodes. When Byzantines also start adding SR noise to their observations, we see no gain in terms of alpha_blind . However, the detection performance of the network does improve with SR. We also …
