The Anthropology of Emotions

Interest in has burgeoned in the last decade, not only in anthropology, but in psychology (e.g. 5, 77,113, 141), sociology (e.g. 72, 81), philosophy (e.g. 153, 177), history (e.g. 180), and feminist studies (e.g. 176). A concern to understa...

Using the complement of the cosine to compute trigonometric functions

Abstract The computation of the sine and cosine functions is required in devices ranging from application-specific signal processors to general purpose floating-point units. Even in the latter case, the required functionality can be reduced...

Improving Income from Coconut Cultivation through Farm Level Value Addition – An Analysis

Coconut cultivation in India is mostly in small and marginal land holdings. Farm level coconut processing for value addition is one of the options for risk reduction and improving the income from such holdings. This study was conducted duri...

Industrial robots and robotics

This book discusses the study of robotics. It provides information of hardware, software, applications and economics. Eleven chapters examine the following: Minicomputers, Microcomputers, and Microprocessors; The Servo-Control System; The A...

Quantum communication and quantum computing

Summary form only given. Quantum mechanics offers the information scientist a new rich resource, which is only recently being tapped to allow for secure communication in the form of quantum cryptography, and for tremendous parallelism in qu...

Universal terminal for cloud quantum computing

Abstract To bring the quantum computing capacities to the personal edge devices, the optimum approach is to have simple non-error-corrected personal devices that offload the computational tasks to scalable quantum computers via edge servers...

Recall Performance for Content-Addressable Memory Using Adiabatic Quantum Optimization

A content-addressable memory (CAM) stores key-value associations such that the key is recalled by providing its associated value. While CAM recall is traditionally performed using recurrent neural network models, we show how to solve this p...

Cloud Quantum Computing of an Atomic Nucleus

We report a quantum simulation of the deuteron binding energy on quantum processors accessed via cloud servers. We use a Hamiltonian from pionless effective field theory at leading order. We design a low-depth version of the unitary coupled...

The Path to Scalable Distributed Quantum Computing

Researchers are fabricating quantum processors powerful enough to execute small instances of quantum algorithms. Scalability concerns are motivating distributed-memory multicomputer architectures, and experimental efforts have demonstrated ...

Distributed quantum computing: A survey

Nowadays, quantum computing has reached the engineering phase, with fully-functional quantum processors integrating hundreds of noisy qubits. Yet – to fully unveil the potential of quantum computing out of the labs into the business reality...

Evidence for the utility of quantum computing before fault tolerance

Abstract Quantum computing promises to offer substantial speed-ups over its classical counterpart for certain problems. However, the greatest impediment to realizing its full potential is noise that is inherent to these systems. The widely ...

Clock synchronization in distributed systems

Clock inaccuracies cause serious problems and troublesome in distributed systems. The clocks of different processors need to be synchronized to limit errors. This is to have an efficient communication or resource sharing. Hence the clocks n...

Load balancing in homogeneous broadcast distributed systems

Three different load balancing algorithms for distributed systems that consist of a number of identical processors and a CSMA communication system are presented in this paper. Some of the properties of a multi-resource system and the balanc...

Distributed Systems

This chapter demystifies computing systems consisting of multiple CPUs, shared and distributed memory, and different types of I/O in the form of multiprocessors and multicomputers that eventually gave rise to distributed computing systems a...

Dynamic Thermal Management for Distributed Systems

In modern data centers, the impact on the thermal properties by increased scale and power densities is enormous and poses new challenges on the designers of both computing as well as cooling systems. Controltheoretic techniques have proven ...

DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM-A TOOL FOR BUILDING DEPENDABLE DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM

Physically, a Distributed System consists of a set of processors, with a collection of local storage mechanisms associated with each processor. A processor is able to execute programs that access and manipulate the local storage, where the ...

Heuristic algorithms for task assignment in distributed systems

Investigate the problem of static task assignment in distributed computing systems, i.e. given a set of k communicating tasks to be executed on a distributed system of n processors, to which processor should each task be assigned? The autho...

A Fault-Tolerant Communication Architecture for Distributed Systems

A communication architecture for distributed processors is presented here. This architecture is based on a new topolgy we have developed, one which interconnects n nodes by using rn links where the maximum internode distance is logrn, and w...

Distributed Systems

Multiple processor systems may be divided into two general categories: parallel processors (multiprocessors) and distributed systems (multicomputers). The distributed simulations, that is, simulations implemented over distributed systems. P...
