A computer structure was proposed for the Navier-Stokes Solver (NSS), now called the Flow Model Processor (FMP), along with technological and system approaches. Before such a system can enter an intensive design investigation phase several tasks must be accomplished to establish uniformity and control over the remaining design steps, as well as clarifying and amplifying certain portions of the conclusions drawn in Phase 1. In order of priority these were seen as: 1. Establishing a structure and format for documenting the design and implementation of the FMP facility. 2. Developing 'a complete, practically engineered design that would perform as claimed in the Phase 1 report. 3. Creating a design verification tool for NASA analysts, using a computerized simulation system.

  • Techniques and Challenges in Speech Synthesis Final Report for ELEC4840B
    Techniques and Challenges in Speech Synthesis Final Report for ELEC4840B David Ferris - 3109837 04/11/2016 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering at The University of Newcastle, Australia. Abstract The aim of this project was to develop and implement an English language Text-to-Speech synthesis system. This first involved an extensive study of the mechanisms of human speech production, a review of modern techniques in speech synthesis, and analysis of tests used to evaluate the effectiveness of synthesized speech. It was determined that a diphone synthesis system was the most effective choice for the scope of this project. A diphone synthesis system operates by concatenating sections of recorded human speech, with each section containing exactly one phonetic transition. By using a database that contains recordings of all possible phonetic transitions within a language, or diphones, a diphone synthesis system can produce any word by concatenating the correct diphone sequence. A method of automatically identifying and extracting diphones from prompted speech was designed, allowing for the creation of a diphone database by a speaker in less than 40 minutes. The Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary, or CMUdict, was used to determine the pronunciation of known words. A system for smoothing the transitions between diphone recordings was designed and implemented. CMUdict was then used to train a maximum-likelihood prediction system to determine the correct pronunciation of unknown English language alphabetic words. Using this, the system was able to find an identical or reasonably similar pronunciation for over 76% of the training set.

  • Design Mistakes in Node Ryan Dahl JS Conf Berlin June 2018 Background
    Design Mistakes in Node Ryan Dahl JS Conf Berlin June 2018 Background ● I created and managed Node through its initial development. ● My goal was heavily focused on programming event driven HTTP servers. ● That focus turned out to be crucial for Server-Side JavaScript at the time. It wasn't obvious then but server-side JS required an event loop to succeed. Background When I left in 2012, I felt Node had (more or less) achieved my goals for a user friendly non-blocking framework: ○ Core supported many protocols: HTTP, SSL, ... ○ Worked on Windows (using IOCP) Linux (epoll) and Mac (kqueue). ○ A relatively small core with a somewhat stable API. ○ A growing ecosystem of external modules via NPM. But I was quite wrong - there was so much left to do... Critical work has kept Node growing since. ● npm (AKA "Isaac") decoupled the core Node library and allowed the ecosystem to be distributed. ● N-API is beautifully designed binding API ● Ben Noordhuis and Bert Belder built the libuv. ● Mikeal Rogers organized the governance and community. ● Fedor Indutny has had a massive influence across the code base, particularly in crypto. ● And many others: TJ Fontaine, Rod Vagg, Myles Borins, Nathan Rajlich, Dave Pacheco, Robert Mustacchi, Bryan Cantrill, Igor Zinkovsky, Aria Stewart, Paul Querna, Felix Geisendörfer, Tim Caswell, Guillermo Rauch, Charlie Robbins, Matt Ranney, Rich Trott, Michael Dawson, James Snell I have only started using Node again in the last 6 months. These days my goals are different. Dynamic languages are the right tool for scientific computing, where often you do quick one-off calculations.

  • Detecting Incorrect Build Rules
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Detecting Incorrect Build Rules Nandor´ Licker, Andrew Rice Department of Computer Science and Technology University of Cambridge Cambridge, UK fnl364, [email protected] Abstract—Automated build systems are routinely used by graphs. Instead of manually specifying arguments to compiler software engineers to minimize the number of objects that need invocations in the macro languages of tools like GNU Make to be recompiled after incremental changes to the source files of [1] or Ninja [2], developers provide brief definitions to build a project. In order to achieve efficient and correct builds, devel- opers must provide the build tools with dependency information file generators such as CMake [3], Autotools [4], and SCons between the files and modules of a project, usually expressed in [5], describing the high-level structure of a project. Build files a macro language specific to each build tool. Most build systems are generated out of these definitions, along with dependency offer good support for well-known languages and compilers, but information extracted by partially parsing the source code as projects grow larger, engineers tend to include source files of languages known to the build system generator. Such generated using custom tools. In order to guarantee correctness, the authors of these tools are responsible for enumerating all generators also permit the integration of custom tools, but the files whose contents an output depends on. Unfortunately, require developers to manually enumerate dependencies. this is a tedious process and not all dependencies are captured When engineers write build definitions manually or integrate in practice, which leads to incorrect builds.

  • An Investigation Into Reproducible Builds for Aosp
    Author Manuel Pöll 11707301 Submission Institute of Networks and Security Thesis Supervisor Dr. Michael Roland September 23, 2020 AN INVESTIGATION INTO REPRODUCIBLE BUILDS FOR AOSP Bachelor Thesis to obtain the academic degree of Bachelor of Science in the Bachelor’s Program Informatik JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenbergerstraße 69 4040 Linz, Österreich www.jku.at DVR 0093696 Abstract Reproducible builds enable the creation of bit identical artifacts by performing a fully deterministic build process. This is especially desireable for any open source project, including Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Initially we cover reproducible builds in general and give an overview of the problem space and typical solutions. Moving forward we present Simple Opinionated AOSP builds by an external Party (SOAP), a simple suite of shell scripts used to perform AOSP builds and compare the resulting artifacts against Google references. This is utulized to create a detailed report of the differences. The qualitative part of this report attempts to find insight into the origin of differences, while the quantitative provides a quick summary. Zusammenfassung Reproducible Builds ermöglichen die Erstellung von bit-identischen Artefakten über einen voll- deterministischen Build-Prozess. Im Falle von Open Source Projekten, wie dem Android Open Source Project (AOSP), ist dies besonders erstrebenswert. Zunächst behandeln wir Reproducible Builds im Allgemeinen und betrachten typische Problemstellungen und deren Lösung. Weiters führen wir Simple Opinionated AOSP builds by an external Party (SOAP) ein, eine einfache Sammlung von Shell- Skripten welche AOSP Builds durchführt und einen Vergleich gegen Google Referenzen erstellt. Dies nutzen wir um einen ausführlichen Bericht zu erstellen. Der qualitative Aspekt versucht sich an der Ursachenfindung, während der quantitative einen schnellen Überblick verschaft.
