A Type-System for describing System-on-a-Chip Architectures – Jan De Muijnck-Hughes

ya8 |

Title: A Type-System for describing System-on-a-Chip Architectures Abstract: The protocols that describe the interactions between IP Cores on System-on-a-Chip (SoC) architectures are well-documented. These protocols described not only the structural properties of the physical interfaces but also the behaviour of the emanating signals. However, there is a disconnect between the design of SoC architectures, their … A Type-System for describing System-on-a-Chip Architectures – Jan De Muijnck-Hughes

Old French Bible Project

Mark-Jan |

A project funded by the Undergraduate Research Assistant Scheme has successfully completed the first stage of interdisciplinary work, between the Institute of Mediaeval Studies and the School of Computer Science.  The long-term aim is to digitise and analyse early French bibles. In this pilot project, undergraduate student Gregor Haywood, under the supervision of Prof. Clive Sneddon … Old French Bible Project

Diderot: A Parallel Domain-Specific Language for Image Analysis and Visualization – John Reppy

ya8 |

Diderot: A Parallel Domain-Specific Language for Image Analysis and Visualization Abstract: The analysis of structure in three-dimensional images is increasingly valuable for biomedical research and computational science. At the same time, the computational burden of processing images is increasing as devices produce images of higher resolution (e.g., typical CT scans have gone from 128^3 to … Diderot: A Parallel Domain-Specific Language for Image Analysis and Visualization – John Reppy

SRG Seminar: “On Engineering Unikernels” by Ward Jaradat

csblog |

We have explored data coordination techniques that permit distributed systems to be constructed by interconnecting services. In such systems the network latency is often a problem. For example, large data volumes might have to be transmitted across the network if computation cannot be co-located close to data sources. One solution to this problem is the … SRG Seminar: “On Engineering Unikernels” by Ward Jaradat

Funding success for characterizing the adoption of ORCID ID in academic communities

lisa |

Alex Voss from the School of Computer Science and Anna Clements and Eva Borger from the University Library have been awarded funding by OCLC for a 1-year project titled “Characterizing the adoption of ORCID ID in academic communities”. ORCID iDs are persistent digital identifiers that distinguish researchers and, through integration in key research workflows such … Funding success for characterizing the adoption of ORCID ID in academic communities
