Non-Standard Computation by Tino Gramß Pdf

There's never enough computer power for challenging questions. Problems such as the design of turbines consisting of more than 100 parts or the simulation of systems of some 50 interacting particles are far beyond today's computer capacities. Or, how to find the shortest phone line connecting 100 given cities? The most promising answers to such questions come from unconventional technologies. The massive parallelism of molecular computers or the ingenious use of quantum systems by universal quantum computers provide solutions to the dilemma. And as for the phone line problem - genetic algorithms mimick the way nature found its way from the first cells to today's creatures. While relying on conventional computer hardware, they introduce an element of chance on the software level, thus circumventing the disadvantages of traditional deterministic algorithms. A textbook for those shaping the future of computing, this volume is also pure fun.

Handbook Of Unconventional Computing (In 2 Volumes) by Andrew Adamatzky Pdf

Did you know that computation can be implemented with cytoskeleton networks, chemical reactions, liquid marbles, plants, polymers and dozens of other living and inanimate substrates? Do you know what is reversible computing or a DNA microscopy? Are you aware that randomness aids computation? Would you like to make logical circuits from enzymatic reactions? Have you ever tried to implement digital logic with Minecraft? Do you know that eroding sandstones can compute too?This volume reviews most of the key attempts in coming up with an alternative way of computation. In doing so, the authors show that we do not need computers to compute and we do not need computation to infer. It invites readers to rethink the computer and computing, and appeals to computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists and philosophers. The topics are presented in a lively and easily accessible manner and make for ideal supplementary reading across a broad range of subjects.

High-Performance Computing Using FPGAs by Wim Vanderbauwhede,Khaled Benkrid Pdf

High-Performance Computing using FPGA covers the area of high performance reconfigurable computing (HPRC). This book provides an overview of architectures, tools and applications for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing (HPRC). FPGAs offer very high I/O bandwidth and fine-grained, custom and flexible parallelism and with the ever-increasing computational needs coupled with the frequency/power wall, the increasing maturity and capabilities of FPGAs, and the advent of multicore processors which has caused the acceptance of parallel computational models. The Part on architectures will introduce different FPGA-based HPC platforms: attached co-processor HPRC architectures such as the CHREC’s Novo-G and EPCC’s Maxwell systems; tightly coupled HRPC architectures, e.g. the Convey hybrid-core computer; reconfigurably networked HPRC architectures, e.g. the QPACE system, and standalone HPRC architectures such as EPFL’s CONFETTI system. The Part on Tools will focus on high-level programming approaches for HPRC, with chapters on C-to-Gate tools (such as Impulse-C, AutoESL, Handel-C, MORA-C++); Graphical tools (MATLAB-Simulink, NI LabVIEW); Domain-specific languages, languages for heterogeneous computing(for example OpenCL, Microsoft’s Kiwi and Alchemy projects). The part on Applications will present case from several application domains where HPRC has been used successfully, such as Bioinformatics and Computational Biology; Financial Computing; Stencil computations; Information retrieval; Lattice QCD; Astrophysics simulations; Weather and climate modeling.

On the extraction of computational content from noneffective convergence proofs in analysis by Pavol Safarik Pdf

The Fields medalist, Terence Tao, recently emphasized the importance of ''hard'' (or finitary) analysis and connected the finitisation to the methods we will employ in this thesis: ... The main advantage of working in a finitary setting ... is that the underlying dynamical system becomes extremely explicit. ... In proof theory, this finitisation is known as Gödel functional interpretation ... For convergence theorems Tao calls the finitary formulation metastability and the corresponding explicit content its rate(s). In the case of the mean ergodic theorem such a rate can be used to obtain even an effective bound on the number of fluctuations. We introduce effective learnability and three other natural kinds of such finitary information and analyze the corresponding proof-theoretic conditions. Effective learnability not only provides means to know when to expect a bound on the number of fluctuations but also explains a very common pattern in the realizers for strong ergodic theorems. Moreover, we will see how a most natural example for a non-learnable convergence theorem closely relates to a notable exception to this pattern, the strong nonlinear ergodic theorem due to Wittmann. Finally, we show how can computational content be extracted in the context of non-standard analysis.
