CAREER: Reinventing Network-on-Chips of GPU-Accelerated Systems

Data management plan for the grant, "CAREER: Reinventing Network-on-Chips of GPU-Accelerated Systems." Research seeking to reinvent on-chip networks for GPU-accelerated systems to remove a communication bottleneck. A major outcome of the project is a set of techniques that enable the development of effective and efficient network-on-chip architectures. Graphics processing units (GPUs) have rapidly evolved to become high-performance accelerators for data-parallel computing. To fully take advantage of the computing power of GPUs, on-chip networks need to provide timely data movement to satisfy the requests of data by the processing cores. Currently, there exists a big gap between the fast-growing processing power of the GPU processing cores and the slow-increasing on-chip network bandwidth. Because of this, GPU-accelerated systems are interconnect-dominated and the on-chip network becomes their performance bottleneck.

MyWear: A Novel Smart Garment for Automatic Continuous Vital Monitoring (open access)

MyWear: A Novel Smart Garment for Automatic Continuous Vital Monitoring

Accepted Manuscript version of an article presenting the design and development of a smart garment called MyWear that continuously monitors and collects physiological data. It can analyze muscle activity, stress levels, and heart rate variations and send all the data to the cloud. With a in-built alert system, it can notify the associated medical officials if necessary. The authors also propose a deep neural network model that classifies heartbeat data into abnormalities with 96.9% accuracy and 97.3% precision.

First principles computation of composition dependent elastic constants of omega in titanium alloys: implications on mechanical behavior (open access)

First principles computation of composition dependent elastic constants of omega in titanium alloys: implications on mechanical behavior

Article on the poor mechanical properties of Ti alloys. The study shows that the elastic properties of the ω-phase can be systematically varied as a function of its composition to enhance both the ductility and strength of the Ti-alloy. Furthermore, that ω precipitates are not intrinsically embrittling and detrimental and that Ti-alloys can be created with both good ductility and strength by tailoring ω precipitates' composition instead of completely eliminating them.

Effect of amorphous cellulose on the deformation behavior of cellulose composites: molecular dynamics simulation (open access)

Effect of amorphous cellulose on the deformation behavior of cellulose composites: molecular dynamics simulation

This article is a study aimed at predicting and enhancing the properties of the blend, as well as exploring the mechanism, of a polylactic acid (PLA)/amorphous cellulose composite system through molecular characterization. The static properties of the amorphous cellulose/PLA blend model and the mechanical response of the material under uniaxial tension were studied by molecular dynamics simulation to establish the structure–property relationship.

Low-Cost Reliable Corrosion Sensors Using ZnO-PVDF Nanocomposite Textiles (open access)

Low-Cost Reliable Corrosion Sensors Using ZnO-PVDF Nanocomposite Textiles

This article investigates the reliability and effectiveness of nonwoven zinc(II) oxide-polyvinylidene fluoride (ZnO-PVDF) nanocomposite fiber textiles as an embedded corrosion sensor using an accelerated thermal cyclic method paired to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results suggest that the flexible sensor is reliable at both monitoring the corrosion and acting as a corrosion barrier.

Weak-Light Image Enhancement Method Based on Adaptive Local Gamma Transform and Color Compensation

This article proposes a correction method for image enhancement models based on an adaptive local gamma transformation and color compensation inspired by the illumination reflection model. It is demonstrated that the proposed method adaptively reduces the influence of uneven illumination to avoid overenhancement and improves the visual effect of low-light images.
