Using FXML in Javafx
JavaFX and FXML How to use FXML to define the components in a user interface. FXML FXML is an XML format text file that describes an interface for a JavaFX application. You can define components, layouts, styles, and properties in FXML instead of writing code. <GridPane fx:id="root" hgap="10.0" vgap="5.0" xmlns="..."> <children> <Label fx:id="topMessage" GridPane.halignment="CENTER"/> <TextField fx:id="inputField" width="80.0" /> <Button fx:id="submitButton" onAction="#handleGuess" /> <!-- more components --> </children> </GridPane> Creating a UI from FXML The FXMLLoader class reads an FXML file and creates a scene graph for the UI (not the window or Stage). It creates objects for Buttons, Labels, Panes, etc. and performs layout according to the fxml file. creates FXMLLoader reads game.fxml Code to Provide Behavior The FXML scene define components, layouts, and property values, but no behavior or event handlers. You write a Java class called a Controller to provide behavior, including event handlers: class GameController { private TextField inputField; private Button submitButton; /** event handler */ void handleGuess(ActionEvent e)... Connecting References to Objects The FXML scene contains objects for Button, TextField, ... The Controller contains references to the objects, and methods to supply behavior. How to Connect Objects to References? class GameController { private TextField inputField; private Button submitButton; /** event handler */ void handleGuess(ActionEvent e)... fx:id and @FXML In the FXML file, you assign objects an "fx:id". The fx:id is the name of a variable in the Controller class annotated with @FXML. You can annotate methods, too. fx:id="inputField" class GameController { @FXML private TextField inputField; @FXML private Button submitButton; /** event handler */ @FXML void handleGuess(ActionEvent e) The fxml "code" You can use ScaneBuilder to create the fxml file. -

Improving Resource Utilization in Heterogeneous CPU-GPU Systems
Improving Resource Utilization in Heterogeneous CPU-GPU Systems A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the School of Engineering and Applied Science University of Virginia In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Engineering) by Michael Boyer May 2013 c 2013 Michael Boyer Abstract Graphics processing units (GPUs) have attracted enormous interest over the past decade due to substantial increases in both performance and programmability. Programmers can potentially leverage GPUs for substantial performance gains, but at the cost of significant software engineering effort. In practice, most GPU applications do not effectively utilize all of the available resources in a system: they either fail to use use a resource at all or use a resource to less than its full potential. This underutilization can hurt both performance and energy efficiency. In this dissertation, we address the underutilization of resources in heterogeneous CPU-GPU systems in three different contexts. First, we address the underutilization of a single GPU by reducing CPU-GPU interaction to improve performance. We use as a case study a computationally-intensive video-tracking application from systems biology. Because of the high cost of CPU-GPU coordination, our initial, straightforward attempts to accelerate this application failed to effectively utilize the GPU. By leveraging some non-obvious optimization strategies, we significantly decreased the amount of CPU-GPU interaction and improved the performance of the GPU implementation by 26x relative to the best CPU implementation. Based on the lessons we learned, we present general guidelines for optimizing GPU applications as well as recommendations for system-level changes that would simplify the development of high-performance GPU applications. -

Differentiation Rules (Differential Calculus)
Differentiation Rules (Differential Calculus) 1. Notation The derivative of a function f with respect to one independent variable (usually x or t) is a function that will be denoted by D f . Note that f (x) and (D f )(x) are the values of these functions at x. 2. Alternate Notations for (D f )(x) d d f (x) d f 0 (1) For functions f in one variable, x, alternate notations are: Dx f (x), dx f (x), dx , dx (x), f (x), f (x). The “(x)” part might be dropped although technically this changes the meaning: f is the name of a function, dy 0 whereas f (x) is the value of it at x. If y = f (x), then Dxy, dx , y , etc. can be used. If the variable t represents time then Dt f can be written f˙. The differential, “d f ”, and the change in f ,“D f ”, are related to the derivative but have special meanings and are never used to indicate ordinary differentiation. dy 0 Historical note: Newton used y,˙ while Leibniz used dx . About a century later Lagrange introduced y and Arbogast introduced the operator notation D. 3. Domains The domain of D f is always a subset of the domain of f . The conventional domain of f , if f (x) is given by an algebraic expression, is all values of x for which the expression is defined and results in a real number. If f has the conventional domain, then D f usually, but not always, has conventional domain. Exceptions are noted below. -
Analysis and Optimization of Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling for AVX Workloads Using a Software-Based Reimplementation
Analysis and Optimization of Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling for AVX Workloads Using a Software-Based Reimplementation Bachelor’s Thesis submitted by cand. inform. Yussuf Khalil to the KIT Department of Informatics Reviewer: Prof. Dr. Frank Bellosa Second Reviewer: Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Karl Advisor: Mathias Gottschlag, M.Sc. May 03 – September 02, 2019 KIT – The Research University in the Helmholtz Association www.kit.edu I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is entirely my own and that I did not use any source or auxiliary means other than these referenced. This thesis was carried out in accordance with the Rules for Safeguarding Good Scientic Practice at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Karlsruhe, September 2, 2019 Abstract While using the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) on current Intel x86 pro- cessors allows for great performance improvements in programs that can be parallelized by using vectorization, many heterogeneous workloads that use both vector and scalar instructions expose degraded throughput when mak- ing use of AVX2 or AVX-512. This eect is caused by processor frequency reductions that are required to maintain system stability while executing AVX code. Due to the delays incurred by frequency switches, reduced clock speeds are attained for some additional time after the last demanding instruction has retired, causing code in scalar phases directly following AVX phases to be executed at a slower rate than theoretically possible. We present an analysis of the precise frequency switching behavior of an Intel Syklake (Server) CPU when AVX instructions are used. Based on the obtained results, we propose avxfreq, a software reimplementation of the AVX frequency selection mechanism. -

Drmos King of Power-Saving
Insist on DrMOS King of Power-saving Confidential Eric van Beurden / Feb 2009 /Page v1.0 1 EU MSI King of Power-saving What are the power-saving components and technologies from MSI? 1. DrMOS 2. APS 3. GreenPower design 4. Hi-c CAP Why should I care about power-saving? 1. Better earth (Think about it! You can be a hero saving it !) 2. Save $$ on the electricity bill 3. Cool running boards 4. Better overclocking Confidential Page 2 MSI King of Power-saving Is DrMOS the name of a MSI heatpipe? No! DrMOS is the cool secret below the heatpipe, not the heatpipe itself. Part of the heatpipe covers the PWM where the DrMOS chips are located. (PWM? That is technical stuff, right ? Now you really lost me ) Tell me, should I write DRMOS, Dr. MOS or Doctor Mos? The name comes from Driver MOSFET. There is only one correct way to write it; “DrMOS”. Confidential Page 3 MSI King of Power-saving So DrMOS is a chip below the heatpipe? Yes, DrMOS is the 2nd generation 3-in-1 integrated Driver MOSFET. It combines 3 PWM components in one. (Like triple core…) 1. Driver IC 2. Bottom-MOSFET 3. Top-MOSFET Confidential Page 4 MSI King of Power-saving Is MSI the first to use DrMOS on it’s products? DrMOS is an integrated MOSFET design proposed by Intel in 2004. The first to use a 1st generation Driver Mosfet on a 8-Phase was Asus Blitz Extreme. This 1st generation had some problems and disadvantages. These are all solved in the 2nd generation DrMOS which we use exclusive on MSI products. -

Hardware Monitoring
HARDWARE MONITORING SECTION 7 HARDWARE MONITORING Walt Kester INTRODUCTION Today's computers require that hardware as well as software operate properly, in spite of the many things that can cause a system crash or lockup. The purpose of hardware monitoring is to monitor the critical items in a computing system and take corrective action should problems occur. Microprocessor supply voltage and temperature are two critical parameters. If the supply voltage drops below a specified minimum level, further operations should be halted until the voltage returns to acceptable levels. In some cases, it is desirable to reset the microprocessor under "brownout" conditions. It is also common practice to reset the microprocessor on power-up or power-down. Switching to a battery backup may be required if the supply voltage is low. Under low voltage conditions it is mandatory to inhibit the microprocessor from writing to external CMOS memory by inhibiting the Chip Enable signal to the external memory. Many microprocessors can be programmed to periodically output a "watchdog" signal. Monitoring this signal gives an indication that the processor and its software are functioning properly and that the processor is not stuck in an endless loop. The need for hardware monitoring has resulted in a number of ICs, traditionally called "microprocessor supervisory products," which perform some or all of the above functions. These devices range from simple manual reset generators (with debouncing) to complete microcontroller-based monitoring sub-systems with on-chip temperature sensors and ADCs. The ADM8691-series (see Figures 7.1 and 7.2) are examples of traditional microprocessor supervisory circuits.
