This is a 32-bit 5-stage pipelined RISC-V CPU that supports basic instructions and some vector arithmetic. In order to tape out, gate level synthesis and APR are done as well. The simulation was done ...

Abstract: In the development and verification of safety-critical and safety-related Instrumentation and Control (I&C) systems, it is essential to ensure there is no deviation from the requirements of ...

Abstract: A method for model-based test generation of safety-critical embedded applications using Programmable Logic Controllers and implemented in a programming language such as Function Block ...

If you are an electronic enthusiast like me who wants to tweak around with different electronic circuits, having a decent Function Generator sometimes becomes mandatory. But owning one is a problem ...

Deep learning methods, which can predict the binding affinity of a drug–target protein interaction, reduce the time and cost of drug discovery. In this study, we propose a novel deep convolutional ...

This is a cooler physics problem than I initially realized. It goes something like this. A block has a mass of 1 kg and is placed on a vertical wall such that the coefficient of static friction is 0.5 ...

Under physiological conditions, the brain consumes over 20% of the whole body energy supply. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) allows dynamic interactions between blood capillaries and the neuronal ...

Spring brings new growth, new possibilities, and, best of all, a new spaghetti diagram from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) at the Department of Energy. Every year, LLNL produces a new ...

The IEC 61131 standard has been widely accepted in the industrial automation domain. However, it is claimed that the standard does not address today the new requirements of complex industrial systems, ...
