Dynamic scheduling of parallel tasks is one of the efficient techniques to achieve high performance in multicore systems. Most existing algorithms for dynamic task scheduling assume that a task runs on one of the multiple cores or a fixed number of cores. Existing researches on dynamic task scheduling methods have evaluated their methods in different experimental environments and models. In this paper, the dynamic task scheduling methods are systematically rearranged and evaluated.

When transmitting the data in digital communication, it is well desired that the transmitting data bits should be as minimal as possible, so many techniques are used to compress the data. In this paper, a Lempel-Ziv algorithm for data compression was implemented through VHDL coding. One of the most lossless data compression algorithms commonly used is Lempel-Ziv. The work in this paper is devoted to improve the compression rate, space-saving, and utilization of the Lempel-Ziv algorithm using a systolic array approach. The developed design is validated with VHDL simulations using Xilinx ISE 14.5 and synthesized on Virtex-6 FPGA chip. The results show that our design is efficient in providing high compression rates and space-saving percentage as well as improved utilization. The Throughput is increased by 50% and the design area is decreased by more than 23% with a high compression ratio compared to comparable previous designs.

The electric vehicle is seen as a possible replacement for current-generation automobiles and to address the rising pollution. In electrical drives, Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) modules deliver power to the motor generate a lot of heat during switching. However, heat generation in IGBT hinders the performance of the electric vehicle. The foremost existing techniques analyze the heat however does not control the heat production in the IGBT module, and also high heat density leads to failing components. Thus to reduce the heat generated in the IGBT module, the work proposed an amalgam illogical controller that handles nonlinearity and provides a quick response. This controller is further tuned by Amended Moth System (AMS) to reduce heat consumption in the IGBT module with electrical parameters. Furthermore, the IGBT is complex to excessive voltage and excessive temperature therefore the current and voltage harmonics in the inverter are reduced by a seamless genuine adaptive filter that detects and suppresses the specified harmonics in the estimated back-EMF, consequently reducing the harmonic position error in the estimated rotor position. Even though there is a problem with a wide range of frequency in the electric motor. To reduce the switching frequency supremacy harm checker is incorporated which is forced to choose active and zero voltage vectors alternatively, to decrease the variation in the switching frequency. Thus the proposed outcomes efficiently tackle the issues in EV and greatly reduce heat consumption in the IGBT module.The electric vehicle is seen as a possible replacement for current-generationautomobiles and to address the rising pollution.

Face recognition is the biometric application to recognise the identity. Face recognition application holds a set of images which are called databases stored by the user at cloud database. Cloud computing environment, database can be stored in the cloud environment to achieve huge data storage area. The problem with these data storages are that because of that huge size processing on this storage takes too much of compiling time. This paper aims to develop face recognition in mobile cloud environment by exploiting data or task parallelism in existing face recognition algorithms. To design and develop parallel PCA based face recognition algorithm. The parallel PCA face recognition algorithm has been deployed in the cloud server for performing PCA by request of user. It matches the image on the cloud server and gives response back to the user in the fewer amounts of time and with reduced latency. The developed Parallel PCA face recognition algorithm has minimized the overall response time for the face recognition algorithm. The performance of the developed system is tested and analysed on real face images. To analyse the developed system, a centralized and distributed based server methods are developed and comparison is being carried out. The conclusion drawn that the distributed server improves the efficiency as well as the computing power as compared with centralized server system. The comparison of centralized and distributed based servers is carried out by observing the time taken while varying the number of images in the training dataset.

System-on-chip (SoC) embedded computing platforms can support a wide range of next generation embedded artificial intelligence and other computationally intensive applications. These platforms require cost effective interconnection network. Network-on-chip has been widely used today for on-chip interconnection. However, it is still considered expensive for large system sizes. As full bus-based interconnection has high number of bus connections, reduced bus connections might offer considerable implementation economies with relatively small design cost for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) based embedded platforms. In this paper, we propose a cost efficient generalized reconfigurable bus-based interconnection for many-core system with reduced number of bus connections. We generalize the system with b =min {n,m}/k number of interconnect buses in which where n is the number of processor cores, m is the number of memory-modules and k is the general bus reduction factor. We present four geometrical interconnect configurations and provide their characterization in terms of memory bandwidth, cost per bandwidth and bus fault tolerance for various system sizes. Our results show that these configurations provide reduced cost per bandwidth and can achieve higher system throughput with bus cache.

Real-time brain internet of thing (IoT) frameworks are expensive. But, creating a cheaper framework has been quickened incredibly by the superior investigation that's being done on virtual brain. The passing of an imperative individual on a mystery mission is considered delicate data and must be taken care of with as much security as conceivable. By guaranteeing this discreteness, the time taken for the message of their passing to reach the pertinent specialist is expanded to up to a few days. The time taken to provide the message is as well. These days, the advancements in equipment expanding the capacities of the virtual brain and of the wearable brain IoT sensors have made the advancement of various unused program systems conceivable for engineers to make valuable applications that combine the human brain with IoT. Different tactile pathways are too empowered for communications of the human brain with bigger measured data. The fundamental point of this extend is to transfer secret records onto the clouds safely.
