Abstract

With the growing popularity of the Semantic Web, more and more semantic data and data sources become available and accessible for everyone. By establishing semantic links between the data, answers to (complex) queries can be evaluated based on the data on multiple providers instead of just one. This book motivates, introduces, and details techniques for processing heterogeneous structured data on the Web by providing a comprehensive overview for database researchers and practitioners about this new publishing paradigm on the web, and show how the abundance of data published as Linked Data can serve as a fertile ground for database research and experimentation--

Abstract

This book provides embedded software developers with techniques for programmingheterogeneous Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs), capable of executing multiple applications simultaneously. It describes a set of algorithms and methodologies to narrow the software productivity gap, as well as an in-depth description of the underlying problems and challenges of today’s programming practices. The authors present four different tool flows: A parallelism extraction flow for applications writtenusing the C programming language, a mapping and scheduling flow for parallel applications, a special mapping flow for baseband applications in the context of Software Defined Radio (SDR) and a final flow for analyzing multiple applications at design time. The tool flows are evaluated on Virtual Platforms (VPs), which mimic different characteristics of state-of-the-art heterogeneous MPSoCs.   • Provides a novel set of algorithms and methodologies for programming heterogeneous Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs); • Equips embedded software developers with a unified presentation of sequential and parallel programming; • Focuses on industry-relevant methodologies and uses real case studies to demonstrate techniques; • Enables solution of multi-application problems, with generalized and unified programming models.

Abstract

Sensor networks are increasingly being deployed in a diverse range of applications. Within many of these networks wired sensors, wireless sensors and wired backbone nodes coexist, forming a heterogeneous programmable distributed system. This unique text/reference presents a thorough examination of the middleware that can be used on top of the operating system to configure and operate heterogeneous node platforms and whole sensor networks. The book opens with a review of the application scenarios where networked control systems with wireless sensors may be used, before comparing and analysing the middleware requirements for this set of scenarios. The text then defines middleware architecture for configuration and operation, describing how the proposed mechanisms were integrated in an approach demonstrated live in an oil and gas refinery. The testing and evaluation of this implementation with different hardware and software platforms is also reported. Topics and features: Presents a thorough introduction to the major concepts behind wireless sensor networks Reviews the various application scenarios and existing middleware solutions for wireless sensor networks Discusses the middleware mechanisms necessary for heterogeneous wireless sensor networks Provides a detailed examination of platform-agnostic middleware architecture, including important implementation details for each part of the architecture Investigates the programming paradigms for wireless sensor networks, and for heterogeneous sensor networks in general Describes the results of extensive experimentation and testing, demonstrating that the generic architecture is viable for implementation on multiple platforms Providing helpful insights for students and researchers alike, this book is ideally suitable for use as a reference in both introductory and advanced courses on embedded devices. Practitioners seeking to learn more about how these systems work will also benefit from the in-depth coverage.

Abstract

Numerical programs often use parallel programming techniques such as OpenMP to compute the program's output values as efficient as possible. In addition, derivative values of these output values with respect to certain input values play a crucial role. To achieve code that computes not only the output values simultaneously but also the derivative values, this work introduces several source-to-source transformation rules. These rules are based on a technique called algorithmic differentiation. The main focus of this work lies on the important reverse mode of algorithmic differentiation. The inherent data-flow reversal of the reverse mode must be handled properly during the transformation. The first part of the work examines the transformations in a very general way since pragma-based parallel regions occur in many different kinds such as OpenMP, OpenACC, and Intel Phi. The second part describes the transformation rules of the most important OpenMP constructs. Contents Introduction with Examples from Numerical Optimization Algorithmic Differentiation by Source Transformation Transformation rules for Parallel Code Regions (e.g. OpenMP 3.1) Static Program Analysis Target Groups Lecturers and students of computer science Computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians and numerical analysts The Author Michael Förster is currently Research Associate of the Institute Software and Tools for Computational Engineering, RWTH Aachen University.
