The new chair, made of mahogany, leather and canvas with brass hardware, folds into a carrying bag, as the originals did, but does not have the straps, buckles and braces of the older models.
Filters are implemented using the field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips and hardware folding technique.
Examples show that a 10-fold reduction in hardware resources is possible compared to using double precision floating point, without loss of closed-loop performance.
Projects such as Folding@home (Beberg et al., 2009) have also accelerated the availability of large datasets of protein folding trajectories as have specialized hardware, such as Anton (Shaw et al., 2007), field-programmable gate-arrays (FPGA; Alam et al., 2007), and GPUs (Harvey et al., 2009).
Reflecting Chief Executive Jonathan Schwartz's mantra that software is Sun's differentiating product, the server vendor's hardware division will be folded into its software division.
A million-fold speed-up is impressive, but hardware and algorithms are only two sides of the iron triangle of programming.
Turn your back on this seemingly flat piece of hardware, and it just might fold itself into a crab and scuttle away.
The scene-stealing star of the city's newly opened, $1.5 million pedestrian plaza project may be its fleet of folding lawn chairs, humble refugees from the Ace Hardware catalog that have colonized the Broadway pavement.
With folding in input data and taps, and reduction in hardware complexity of the input subdata latches and accumulation path, the proposed FIR architecture is demonstrated to have a low hardware complexity.
The 80 butterfly nodes shown in the DFG for N = 32 are folded on to the 16 DFPABFs available in the hardware.
