Samsung Galaxy S4's Jaw Dropping Official Specs Mar 20, 2013 07:00 GMT Samsung Galaxy S4's Jaw Dropping Official Specs Samsung has finally revealed the much awaited Samsung Galaxy S4 during the Samsung Unpacked Event. Spectators that were present during the said event can’t still get over how Samsung unveiled the new sg4 because they were more like given a production number rather than presenting the smartphone itself. However, the production – like launch is over and the thrill brought about the new technology Samsung Galaxy S4 offers has just started to kick in. Below are brief discussions of the specs that are featured in the new sg4 smartphone. As speculated, the Samsung Galaxy S4 comes in with a magnificent 5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED panel and has 441 ppi pixel density. Adding up to this better screen resolution is the integration of PenTile matrix screen allowing one to navigate through the screen while using gloves – any kind of gloves. Another speculation that appeared to be true is the 2GB RAM that may work on two different processors: 1.6 GHz Exynos Octa-core chip and the 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm. The different processors will work based on the user’s region. Moreover, sg4 will be running under Android 4.2.2 operating system. As compared to the Samsung Galaxy S3, the new Galaxy S series is way smaller, lighter and thinner with 136.6x69.8x7.9 mm dimensions and a weight of 130 grams only. A removable 2,600mAh battery is also another plus for the sg4. Samsung Galaxy S4 also features WiFi 802.11ac support, Bluetooth 4.0, a/b/g/n, IR blaster, WatchON service, NFC and use of infrared as a remote control. Consumers who love taking pictures using their camera phones will surely love sg4’s camera feature with a whooping 13MP with autofocus capability and f/2.2 aperture on its rear side and a 2MP camera on its front area. Moreover, sg4 camera also features dual-video capture mode. Sounds great? Here are few more things that will surely make you want to get a hold of the Samsung Galaxy S4. The sg4 offers users with a Dual Video Call mode and a Drama Shot that makes use of burst mode allowing users to make their very own animated GIFs. Moreover, consumers now have the ability to record up to nine seconds of audio of which they can simultaneously add a still photo in it through its Sound and Shot feature. What better will it be for any smartphone than to have an Air View feature that allows users to use their fingers instead of an S Pen? This rundown doesn’t stop here as this article still has more to talk about the Samsung Galaxy S4. Movie lovers who love to watch movies through their smartphones will finally now have the freedom to put the movie on hold for a while through its Smart Pause. A Group Play is also a great feature found in the Galaxy S4 wherein sg4 users can go against each other in close proximity or share music under a surround-sound mode. With the hype going on now about the Galaxy S4 deals, expect that you will likely to read more articles about its innovative features. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is thought to be released in April on various telephone companies.

These advances, along with breakdowns of several trends including Moore’s Law, have prompted an explosion of processors and accelerators that promise even greater computational and ma- chine learning capabilities. These processors and accelerators are coming in many forms, from CPUs and GPUs to ASICs, FPGAs, and dataflow accelerators. This paper surveys the current state of these processors and accelerators that have been publicly announced with performance and power consumption numbers. The performance and power values are plotted on a scatter graph and a number of dimensions and observations from the trends on this plot are discussed and analyzed. For instance, there are interesting trends in the plot regarding power consumption, numerical precision, and inference versus training. We then select and benchmark two commercially- available low size, weight, and power (SWaP) accelerators as these processors are the most interesting for embedded and Fig. 1.

  • NEON Implementation of an Attribute-Based Encryption Scheme
    NEON implementation of an attribute-based encryption scheme Ana Helena S´anchez, Francisco Rodr´ıguez-Henr´ıquez? Computer Science Department, CINVESTAV-IPN, M´exico [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. In 2011, Waters presented a ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption protocol that uses bilinear pairings to provide control access mechanisms, where the set of user's attributes is specified by means of a linear secret sharing scheme. Some of the applications foreseen for this protocol lie in the context of mobile devices such a smartphones and tablets, which in a majority of instances are powered by an ARM pro- cessor supporting the NEON vector set of instructions. In this paper we present the design of a software cryptographic library that implements a 127-bit security level attribute-based encryption scheme over mobile devices equipped with a 1.4GHz Exynos 4 Cortex-A9 processor and a developing board that hosts a 1.7 GHz Exynos 5 Cortex-A15 processor. For the latter platform and taking advantage of the inherent parallelism of the NEON vector instructions, our library computes a single optimal pairing over a Barreto-Naehrig curve approximately 2 times faster than the best timings previously reported on ARM platforms at this level of security. Further, using a 6-attribute access formula our library is able to encrypt/decrypt a text/ciphertext in less than 4:49mS and 15:67mS, respectively. Key words: Atribute Based-Encryption, Optimal-Ate pairing, Barreto- Naehrig curves, ARM processor, pairing-based protocols, elliptic curve scalar multiplication. 1 Introduction It was long assumed that the task of computing a single bilinear pairing was rather expensive, so much so that when assessing the complexity of a given protocol, a designer could safely ignore the computational cost of all the other cryptographic components.

  • NVIDIA Tegra X1 Targets Neural Net Image Processing Performance
    NVIDIA Tegra X1 Targets Neural Net Image Processing Performance Enables Practical Real­Time Neural Network Based Image Recognition Take­Away NVIDIA Tegra X1 (TX1) based client­side neural network acceleration is a strong complement to server­side deep learning using NVIDIA Kepler based Tegra server accelerators. In the software world, “function overloading” refers to using one procedure name to invoke different behavior depending on the context of the procedure call. NVIDIA borrowed that concept for their graphics processing pipelines. They essentially are “overloading” their graphics architecture to be a capable neural network processing architecture. NVIDIA reuses every portion of their TX1 32­bit floating point pipelines to run two 16­bit pipelines side­by­side, thus doubling numeric throughput at half the precision. Running two 16­bit instructions in the same pipeline as one 32­bit instruction also roughly halves the power consumed per instruction. For applications that do not require 32­bit precision, this arrangement is much more power efficient. In addition to creating half­width 16­bit floating point graphics pipelines, NVIDIA implemented DSP­like “fused” arithmetic operations in these pipelines. Most notably, the classic FMA instruction (fused multiply­add) enables multiplies and adds to be pipelined into effectively a single­cycle operation when done in bulk. These operations further accelerate neural network recognition functions. Couple these new advances with the Tegra X1’s I/O offload processors, and you have a system­on­chip (SoC) optimized for recognizing a useful number of features in a real­ time 360° high­resolution visual sensory environment. It would take many years for the industry to pick up an SoC like the TX1 and figure out optimal use cases on its own.
