A Compact Pattern Reconfigurable Antenna Employing Shorted Quarterwave Patch Antennas, Feza Turgay Çeli̇k, Lale Alatan, Hati̇ce Özlem Aydin Çi̇vi̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, a compact pattern reconfigurable antenna structure is proposed. The proposed antenna is a half-wave square microstrip patch antenna divided into two quarter-wave antenna portions by a conducting wall. This wall forces potential zero at the connection point; therefore, it separates the antenna into two independent quarter-wave portions. Pattern reconfiguration is achieved by separate feeding of the quarter-wave portions. Phase difference between excitations of antenna ports result in variation at the maximum beam direction. Hence, pattern reconfiguration is achieved. Within such a compact antenna, beam steering up to 400 is achieved

Using A Static Naming Approach To Implement Remote Scope Promotion, Ayşe Yilmazer Jul 2022

Using A Static Naming Approach To Implement Remote Scope Promotion, Ayşe Yilmazer

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

GPUs employ simple coherence mechanisms and require explicit use of costly synchronization operations for data integrity. Local-scoped synchronization can be utilized to lower the performance penalty of synchronization when sharing is within a subgroup of threads. Unfortunately, in asymmetric sharing (which is an important dynamic sharing pattern), it is necessary to use global-scoped synchronization due to possible accesses by remote sharers. Remote Scope Promotion (RSP) was introduced to take advantage of local-scoped synchronization at regular accesses while using scope promotion at occasional remote accesses. First implementation of RSP makes use of a simple approach that performs costly cache operations on …
