  • The Perception of the “English Element” in Croatian ICT Magazines with Undergraduate and Graduate Computer Science Students
    The perception of the “English element” in Croatian ICT magazines with undergraduate and graduate computer science students Daniela Matić University of Split (Croatia) [email protected] Abstract This paper focuses on the results of a questionnaire distributed to a group of undergraduate computer science students at a Croatian university who had English in computer science 1 and 2 as ESP mandatory courses and then to a group of graduate computer science students who used to have these English courses. The central part of the questionnaire focused on the “English element” - language borrowings at various levels of orthographical, phonological and morphological adaptation to Croatian and unadapted expressions collected from Croatian information and communications technology (ICT) magazines. The main aim was to establish whether the students from both age groups found the “English element” acceptable in the standard Croatian language of journalistic register and to what extent. The results showed that the “English element” was perceived as predominantly acceptable, and the more adapted the terms were to Croatian, the less acceptable they were, regardless of the students’ age and personal and professional development. Keywords: language contacts, ESP, acceptability, English element, Croatian ICT students. Resumen La percepción del “elemento inglés” en las revistas croatas de TIC en los estudiantes de grados y posgrados de informática Este artículo se centra en los resultados de un cuestionario distribuido a un grupo de estudiantes de informática en una universidad croata que cursaron los Ibérica 35 (2018) : 201-226 201 ISSN: 1139-7241 / e-ISSN: 2340-2784 Daniela Matić cursos Inglés para Informática 1 y 2 como cursos obligatorios de inglés específico y a un grupo de estudiantes de posgrado que cursaron estos cursos de inglés.

  • ARM® Cortex® -M3 & M4 MCU Architecture
    ARM® Cortex ® -M3 & M4 MCU Architecture Introduction Many embedded developers are familiar with the ARM Cortex processor architecture, but few have the opportunity to become intimately acquainted enough of this popular architecture to take full advantage of its unique features and capabilities. This is especially true for the new ARM Cortex-M4 processor, which boasts an improved architecture, native digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities and an optional floating-point accelerator, which a savvy programmer or hardware engineer can exploit to their ad- vantage. Let’s take a closer look at some of the more interesting (and often-overlooked) features found in Cortex-M3 based microcontrollers (MCUs) as well as new M4 variants. Since many target applications for Cortex-M based MCUs are portable and derive their power from bat- teries or energy harvesting systems, most of the ideas we will explore involve techniques for reducing a design’s overall energy consumption. In many cases, however, these energy conservation techniques are also helpful tools for designing processor-optimized applications that provide: • More cost-effective solutions • More processing margin available for upgrades and new features • Performance and features that help products stand out in crowded markets. ARM Cortex Basics Much like the original 16-bit processor cores created by Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) in the 1980s, the ARM Cortex series is based on a Harvard-style RISC machine with a modest silicon footprint that en- ables high performance as well as code

  • Android Y Open Handset Alliance Santiago Diaz Peña
    Android y Open Handset Alliance Santiago Diaz Peña Trabajo Práctico TAI2 2010 Ing. Juan de Urraza Ingeniería Informática Universidad Católica “Nuestra Señora de la Asunción” Asunción, Paraguay 1 Introducción En el 2005, Google adquirió Android, una pequeña compañía que recién comenzaba. Los fundadores de Android fueron a trabajar a Google. En ese entonces, era poco lo que se conocía sobre Android, solo que desarrollaban software para teléfonos móviles. Esto genero rumores de que Google estaba planeando entrar en el mercado de la telefonía móvil. En Google, un equipo desarrolló una plataforma para dispositivos móviles basado en el kernel de Linux los cuales fueron promocionados a los fabricantes y prestadores de servicios móviles a partir de la premisa de aportar una sistema flexible y fácilmente actualizable. La Open Handset Alliance fue creada a finales de 2007, liderado por Google con 34 miembros más, incluyendo fabricantes de dispositivos móviles, desarrolladores de aplicación, algunos prestadores de servicios de telefonía móvil y fabricantes de semi-conductores. Android, el software insignia de la alianza, es creado a partir de una licencia de open source y compite contra otras plataformas móviles propietario de Apple, Microsoft, Nokia, Palm, Symbian. El primer teléfono móvil corriendo Android comercialmente disponible es el T-Mobile G1, también conocido como el HTC Dream. Fue aprobado por la FCC en agosto del 2008, estuvo finalmente disponible a finales de octubre. Android nació a partir de la necesidad de crear un plataforma abierta y libre, que pueda ser actualizada, mejorada, modificada para cualquier tipo de teléfono móvil especifico con sus problemas de heterogeneidad por la comunidad de software libre, completa, es decir que tenga todas las funcionalidades que tiene cualquier otra plataforma propietario.

  • Demand-Based Scheduling Using Noc Probes
    Demand-based Scheduling using NoC Probes Kurt Shuler Jonah Probell Monica Tang Arteris, Inc. Sunnyvale, CA, USA www.arteris.com ABSTRACT Contention for shared resources, such as memory in a system-on-chip, is inefficient. It limits performance and requires initiator IPs, such as CPUs, to stay powered up and run at clock speeds higher than they would otherwise. When a system runs multiple tasks simultaneously, contention will vary depending on each task’s demand for shared resources. Scheduling in a conventional system does not consider how much each task will demand shared resources. Proposed is a demand-based method of scheduling tasks that have diverse demand for shared resources in a multi- processor system-on-chip. Tasks with extremes of high and low demand are scheduled to run simultaneously. Where tasks in a system are cyclical, knowledge of period, duty cycle, phase, and magnitude are considered in the scheduling algorithm. Using demand-based scheduling, the time variation of aggregate demand is reduced, as might be its maximum. The average access latency and resulting idle clock cycles are reduced. This allows initiator IPs to run at lower clock frequencies, finish their tasks sooner, and spend more time in powered down modes. Use of probes within a network-on-chip to gather demand statistics, application-specific algorithm considerations, operating system thread scheduler integration, and heterogeneous system middleware integration are discussed.
