Automatic parallelisation for LTI MIMO state space systems using FPGAs. An optimisation for cost & performance

The parallelism attained by the use of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) has shown remarkable potential for accelerating control systems applications. This comes at a time when well established methods based on inherited serial Central Processor Units (CPUs) cannot guarantee solutions for the increasing execution speed demands. However, the transition from serial to parallel architectures represents a tremendous challenge due to overwhelming numbers of unexplored options and conflicting factors. The work presented achieves a parallelisation characterisation for generic MIMO systems using stand-alone FPGA implementations. The main contribution is that a very fine subset of possible serial/parallel implementations is obtained. This is used to achieve a flexible trade-off between cost and performance. Automatic optimisation of latency, occupied FPGA area and execution speed is attained and justified in respect to most of the feasible scenarios.     

Getting closer and experiencing together: Antecedents and consequences of psychological distance in social media-enhanced real-time streaming video

Social media services such as YouTube and Flickr have become online necessities for millions of users worldwide. Social media are online services that enable users to share contents, opinions, and perspectives that support communication with other users. Social media places an emphasis on the shared experience between users, which we call co-experience. However, the online characteristics of social media increase psychological distance between users, which, in turn, results in a decrease in the quality of co-experience. Hence, as the goal of this study, we theoretically modeled and empirically verified the antecedents and user experience-based consequences of psychological distance in a social media-enhanced real-time streaming video service. In order to reduce psychological distance, we introduced two system elements: inhabited space (the degree of being situated in context and in a meaningful place) and isomorph effects (the degree of preserving the structure of a user’s actions). We constructed a social media-enhanced real-time streaming video service prototype and conducted a field experiment with actual social media users. The prototype, which streamed a live baseball game, enabled users to simultaneously view the game from remote locations and to interact with each other through cheering tools. The results indicate that inhabited space and isomorph effects reduce psychological distance between users, and this, in turn, enhances co-experience. This paper ends with theoretical as well as practical implications of the study.     

Efficient solution of a class of partial integro-differential equation in reproducing kernel space

In [Y.l. Wang, T. Chaolu, Z. Chen, Using reproducing kernel for solving a class of singular weakly nonlinear boundary value problems, Int. J. Comput. Math. 87(2) (2010), pp. 367–380], we present three algorithms to solve a class of ordinary differential equations boundary value problems in reproducing kernel space. It is worth noting that our methods can get the solution of partial integro-differential equation. In this note, we use method 2 [M. Dehghan, Solution of a partial integro-differential equation arising from viscoelasticity, Int. J. Comput. Math. 83(1) (2006), pp. 123–129] to solve a class of partial integro-differential equation in reproducing kernel space. Numerical example shows our method is effective and has high accuracy.     

On local convergence of a Newton-type method in Banach space

In this study we are concerned with the local convergence of a Newton-type method introduced by us [I.K. Argyros and D. Chen, On the midpoint iterative method for solving nonlinear equations in Banach spaces, Appl. Math. Lett. 5 (1992), pp. 7–9.] for approximating a solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space setting. This method has also been studied by Homeier [H.H.H. Homeier, A modified Newton method for rootfinding with cubic convergence, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 157 (2003), pp. 227–230.] and Özban [A.Y. Özban, Some new variants of Newton's method, Appl. Math. Lett. 17 (2004), pp. 677–682.] in real or complex space. The benefits of using this method over other methods using the same information have been explained in [I.K. Argyros, Computational theory of iterative methods, in Studies in Computational Mathematics, Vol. 15, C.K. Chui and L. Wuytack, eds., Elsevier Science Inc., New York, USA, 2007.; I.K. Argyros and D. Chen, On the midpoint iterative method for solving nonlinear equations in Banach spaces, Appl. Math. Lett. 5 (1992), pp. 7–9.; H.H.H. Homeier, A modified Newton method for rootfinding with cubic convergence, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 157 (2003), pp. 227–230.; A.Y. Özban, Some new variants of Newton's method, Appl. Math. Lett. 17 (2004), pp. 677–682.]. Here, we give the convergence radii for this method under a type of weak Lipschitz conditions proven to be fruitful by Wang in the case of Newton's method [X. Wang, Convergence of Newton's method and inverse function in Banach space, Math. Comput. 68 (1999), pp. 169–186 and X. Wang, Convergence of Newton's method and uniqueness of the solution of equations in Banach space, IMA J. Numer. Anal. 20 (2000), pp. 123–134.]. Numerical examples are also provided.     

Vanishing point detection using cascaded 1D Hough Transform from single images

Vanishing point detection algorithms based on 2D histogramming techniques have been employed in a variety of computer vision systems. Previous algorithms achieved some good results but still failed to maintain a balanced performance in both accuracy and time. Recent research (Li et al., 2010) shows that, vanishing point detection could be converted to a 1D histogram search problem, which largely accelerates the procedure. In this paper, we further improve this idea and propose a complete scheme for vanishing point detection from images of the so called “Manhattan world”. We test our algorithm and some commonly used vanishing point detection methods on public database YorkUrbanDB and our own implemented database PKUCampusDB. Our algorithm shows significant performance improvements.
