Invasive Computing for Mapping Parallel Programs to Many-Core Architectures
Author: Andreas Weichslgartner
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811073562
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
This book provides an overview of and essential insights on invasive computing. Pursuing a comprehensive approach, it addresses proper concepts, invasive language constructs, and the principles of invasive hardware. The main focus is on the important topic of how to map task-parallel applications to future multi-core architectures including 1,000 or more processor units. A special focus today is the question of how applications can be mapped onto such architectures while not only taking into account functional correctness, but also non-functional execution properties such as execution times and security properties. The book provides extensive experimental evaluations, investigating the benefits of applying invasive computing and hybrid application mapping to give guarantees on non-functional properties such as timing, energy, and security. The techniques in this book are presented in a step-by-step manner, supported by examples and figures. All proposed ideas for providing guarantees on performance, energy consumption, and security are enabled by using the concept of invasive computing and the exclusive usage of resources.

Food Wheel
Author: James Brazil
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0359480365
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The Food Wheel is an "urban activator" proposed to be developed as a butterfly building, a light and movable pavilion which may activate temporary public space around the concept of food. It was conceptualized as a response to challenges experienced in connecting food, people and place during the development of the MKTplace project. MKTplace is a community-driven prepared food market and public space project that serves to activate vacant space in underserved neighborhoods by providing inexpensive incubator space for vendors and a venue for community events, arts and culture. Urban Prototyping seeks to adapt a Fabrication Information Modeling into the design and build prototyping of urban interventions. Furthermore, we aim to explore the spatial and urban implications where the role of civic engagement will propose a new method of architectural practice. The goal is to create an associative and collaborative environment that empowers designers to develop integrated fabrication concepts for the public realm.
