Scratch-pad memory (SPM) has been widely used in embedded systems because it allows software-controlled data placement. By designing data placement strategies, optimal solutions with minimal memory access latency for loops on SPM-DRAM architecture ...

Dynamic symbolic execution is a powerful program analysis technique but is often limited by the path-explosion problem, particularly in the presence of heavily branching loops. In this paper, we introduce sparse symbolic loop execution (SSLE), a novel ...

This assignment helps students gain experience and proficiency with lists, loops, and random number generators. Students will learn how to think through and write branching logic, plot data, and modularize their code. Through this assignment, students ...

A Musikalisches Würfelspiel (musical dice game) is a process for generating music by concatenating a random sequence of precomposed musical fragments. In this programming assignment, students "compose" a Viennese waltz in the style of Mozart by playing a ...

Executing a code segment repeatedly using loops is crucial for human programmers to write complex software. Similarly, in genetic programming, mechanisms that enable the multiple executions of a group of instructions seem to be useful in increasing the ...

This tutorial will give an introduction to a topic that lies at the intersection of distributed computing and networking, and combines asynchronous distributed systems with central control, namely consistent updates in Software-Defined Networks (SDNs). ...

Programming-in a text-based or visual language-is a complex activity that novices find difficult to learn. In this paper, we present an experience report on how novel activities designed for early conceptual exploration can support middle school ...

Loops are a fundamental concept in computing and well known to be difficult for novices. Recent research shows that the open-ended learning approach often used in teaching block-based programming can be insufficient to help young students gain a solid ...

Numerical software, common in scientific computing or embedded systems, inevitably uses a finite-precision approximation of the real arithmetic in which most algorithms are designed. In many applications, the roundoff errors introduced by finite-...

Programming in block-based environments is a key element of introductory computer science (CS) curricula in K-12 settings. Past research conducted in the context of text-based programming points to several challenges related to novice learners' ...

In the cloud computing paradigm, clients outsource computation to professional service providers. However, service providers may be error-prone or otherwise not entirely trustworthy, and therefore oftentimes the returned results need to be thoroughly ...

Loop detectors are widely used on the motorway networks where they provide point speed and traffic volumes. Models have been proposed for temporal and spatial generalization of speed for average travel time estimation. Advancement in technology provides ...

The learning of computer programming is difficult for many students, particularly to learn Iterative Control Structures and Data Structures. In order to improve the understanding of Loops, Strings and Arrays, a tool called COAC# was developed, to show ...

Array privatization, as a program transform to increase the opportunity for loop parallelization, was introduced at a time when numerical programs dominated the parallel computing world. Today, with parallel processors becoming ubiquitous, the computer ...

One of the topics that should be covered in a CS1 course is Iterative Control Structures. This is an important but difficult topic for novice students who, for the first time, are learning a programming language. To improve the understanding of loops, a ...

This paper give a short review on feature extraction technique for Handwritten Marathi Compound Character recognition. The ultimate goal of designing a handwriting recognition system with an accuracy rate of 100% is quite illusionary, because even human ...

There are many legacy Fortran programs still in use today, especially scientific codes which were written decades ago. Many of these codes use explicit DO-loops in programs that tend to clutter the code and make it harder to understand and maintain. ...

We present a set of extensions to Montana's popular Strongly Typed Genetic Programming system that introduce constraints on the structure of program trees. It is demonstrated that these constraints can be used to evolve programs with a naturally ...

Among the many obstacles in efficient and sound program analysis, loops may be the most prevalent. In program analyses that traverse paths, loops introduce a variable, possibly infinite, number of paths. This paper looks at whether loops could be ...

This document defines protocol extensions and procedures for BGP Provider/Customer Edge router iteration in BGP/MPLS IP VPNs. These extensions and procedures have the objective of making the usage of the BGP/MPLS IP VPN transparent to the customer ...
