Eye Pressure Monitior, Andrea Nella Levy
Eye Pressure Monitior, Andrea Nella Levy
Computer Engineering
The document describes a mobile application that takes information from an attached device which tests eye pressure. The device consists of an IOIO board connected to a custom device that measures the frequency of a given waveform. The device was designed by another student for their senior project, which I am taking over. This device is connected to an IOIO board which is a board designed by a Google employee which works with an android phone in order to create applications that work with embedded systems. The board comes with an API and connects to the phone via a micro-USB. …
The Effect Of Endgame Tablebases On Modern Chess Engines, Christopher D. Peterson
The Effect Of Endgame Tablebases On Modern Chess Engines, Christopher D. Peterson
Computer Engineering
Modern chess engines have the ability to augment their evaluation by using massive tables containing billions of positions and their memorized solutions. This report examines the importance of these tables to better understand the circumstances under which they should be used. The analysis conducted in this paper empirically examines differences in size and speed of memorized positions and their impacts on engine strength. Using this technique, situations where memorized tables improve play (and situations where they do not) are discovered.
