Priority encoders and arbiters usually drive multiplexers (muxes). Latency optimization of priority encoders and multiplexer trees has usually been handled separately in the literature. However, in some applications with ...

A regular (one-pick) round-robin arbiter circuit picks one active requester (if any) out of n requesters. A two-pick round-robin arbiter selects up to two requesters. An n2n two-pick round-robin arbiter indicates the picked ...

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the problem of decoding complexity in a Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) system based on Space-Time Block Codes (STBCs). We show that there ...

In order to determine the long term durability of friction stir welded joints with ultra-fine grained microstructure, investigation of the mechanical response with specific emphasis on fatigue behaviour is critical. In ...

In SOA, composite services depend on a set of partner services to perform their tasks. These partner services may become unavailable because of system and/or network faults, leading to an increased error rate for the ...

Building energy demand assessment plays a crucial role in designing energy-efficient building stocks. However, most studies adopting a data-driven approach feel the deficiency of datasets with building-specific information ...

Federated learning (FL) has become de facto framework for collaborative learning among edge devices with privacy concern. The core of the FL strategy is the use of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) in a distributed manner. ...
