Run-time generation of partial FPGA configurations

This paper presents and evaluates a method of generating partial bitstreams at run-time for dynamic reconfiguration of sections of an FPGA. The method is intended for use in adaptive embedded systems that employ run-time reconfiguration to achieve high flexibility and performance. The proposed approach combines partial bitstreams of coarse-grained components to produce a new partial bitstream implementing a given circuit netlist. Topological sorting of the netlist is used to determine the initial positions of individual components, whose placement is then improved by simulated annealing. Connection routing is done by a breadth-first search of the reconfigurable area based on a simplified resource model of the reconfigurable fabric. The desired partial bitstream is constructed by merging together the default bitstream of the reconfigurable area, the relocated partial bitstreams of the components, and the configurations of the switch matrices used for routing. The approach is embodied in a code library that applications can use to create new bitstreams at run-time. For the members of a set of 29 benchmarks (both synthetic and application-derived) having between five and 41 components, the complete process of bitstream generation takes between 8 s and 35 s when running on an embedded PowerPC 405 microprocessor clocked at 300 MHz.     

A parallel micro evolutionary algorithm for heterogeneous computing and grid scheduling

This work presents a novel parallel micro evolutionary algorithm for scheduling tasks in distributed heterogeneous computing and grid environments. The scheduling problem in heterogeneous environments is NP-hard, so a significant effort has been made in order to develop an efficient method to provide good schedules in reduced execution times. The parallel micro evolutionary algorithm is implemented using MALLBA, a general-purpose library for combinatorial optimization. Efficient numerical results are reported in the experimental analysis performed on both well-known problem instances and large instances that model medium-sized grid environments. The comparative study of traditional methods and evolutionary algorithms shows that the parallel micro evolutionary algorithm achieves a high problem solving efficacy, outperforming previous results already reported in the related literature, and also showing a good scalability behavior when facing high dimension problem instances.     

Discrete cost optimization of composite floor system using social harmony search model

This paper presents a social harmony search algorithm model for the cost optimization of composite floor system with discrete variables. The total cost function includes the costs of concrete, steel beam and shear studs. The design is based on AISC load and resistance factor design specifications and plastic design concepts. Here, six decision variables are considered for the objective function. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed model in optimizing composite floor system designs, two design examples taken from the literature are studied. It is shown that use of the presented model results in significant cost saving. Hence, it can be of practical value to structural designers. Also the proposed model is compared to the original harmony search, its recently developed variants, and other meta-heuristic algorithms to illustrate the superiority of the present method in convergence and leading to better solutions. In order to investigate the effects of beam spans and loadings on the cost optimization of composite floor system a parametric study is also conducted.     

From ethnographic record to system design

This paper explores the issues involved in moving from ethnographic explorations of work in context to a practical contribution to system design. It does so using the example of an interdisciplinary research project involving sociologists and computer scientists in the domain of air traffic control systems. It forms a pair with another paper (Sommerville et al., 1992) exploring these questions from the perspective of our computer science partners. We characterise ethnography as a research method, and consider the differences between undertaking it for strictly sociological or anthropological purposes by contrast with interdisciplinary and design purposes. We summarise some of our results in ethnographic explications of the work of air traffic controllers, and the sociality which it manifests. We describe the dialogues involved in rendering these observations informative for systems design, and the mutual translations implied in attempting to reconcile sociological with software engineering questions about supporting the work. We conclude by specifying some features of cooperative work which an engineering approach is in danger of overlooking; the ways, and limits, in which ethnographers can form a bridge between users and designers; and some of the conflicts of interest entrained in generating technical change.The research is funded by the UK MRC/SERC/ESRC Cognitive Science/HCI Initiative with the title Social Analysis of Control Systems for HCI Design, grant number SPG 8931598. The computer science partners are Professor Ian Sommerville, Dr Tom Rodden, Dr Pete Sawyer and Mr Richard Bentley.
