FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Array. It is an integrated circuit that can be configured by the user in order to implement digital logic functions of varying complexities. This report concerns FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). The basic FPGA blocks, I/O, CLBs (Combinational Logic Blocks), and architecture, the advantages of FPGAs are discussed to impart a basic understanding of FPGA operation. Digital signal processing is an important area where FPGAs have found many applications in recent years. Interest in high-level synthesis tools for FPGAs is intensifying as FPGAs and their applications grow larger and more complex. Prospective users want to understand how well high-level synthesis tools work, both in terms of usability and quality of results. To meet this need, I have prepared this paper that presents a brief introduction to the FPGA.
Midterm research paper for my Adaptive Robotics class at Swarthmore College. Uses the NEAT evolutionary algorithm (http://www.cs.ucf.edu/~kstanley/neat.html) on two robot populations to compete more effectively against each other in a simulated version of capture the flag.
Data warehouse and online analytical processing (OLAP) both are core component for decision making and support which had become focus of attraction in the data base management industry. By increasing demand of these two thing in data base there are now there is much these type of products in commercial and user base and as well as this type of services are available in market as well as to the vendors of data base management systems has offered in these area. Whereas the decision making support have some different requirement in database technology as we can compare with traditional online transaction processing application. In this literature survey data warehousing and OLAP technologies have been gathered with new requirement. The literature survey I have also described about the back end tools which are used for extraction, cleaning and loading into data warehouse and making multidimensional data models typically of the OLAP. Where as in the front end client tools are of the query execution and it also include data analysis where as the server extension are efficient in query processing also in other type of tools for metadata management as well but also for the managing that data ware house.
