Abstract: We present the architecture of a high-performance constraint solver R-Solve that extends the gains made in SAT performance over the past fifteen years on static decision problems to problems that require on-the-fly adaptation, solution space exploration and optimization. R-Solve facilitates collaborative parallel solving and provides an efficient system for unrestricted incremental solving via Smart Repair. R-Solve can address problems in dynamic planning and constrained optimization involving complex logical and arithmetic constraints.

Abstract: A compilation system generates one or more energy windows in a program to be executed on a data processors such that power/energy consumption of the data processor can be adjusted in which window, so as to minimize the overall power/energy consumption of the data processor during the execution of the program. The size(s) of the energy window(s) and/or power option(s) in each window can be determined according to one or more parameters of the data processor and/or one or more characteristics of the energy window(s).

Abstract: A compilation system can apply a smoothness constraint to the arguments of a compute-bound function invoked in a software program, to ensure that the value(s) of one or more function arguments are within specified respective threshold(s) from selected nominal value(s). If the constraint is satisfied, the function invocation is replaced with an approximation thereof. The smoothness constraint may be determined for a range of value(s) of function argument(s) so as to determine a neighborhood within which the function can be replaced with an approximation thereof. The replacement of the function with an approximation thereof can facilitate simultaneous optimization of computation accuracy, performance, and energy/power consumption.

Abstract: A system for data acquisition and processing includes a selector for obtaining samples from one or more sensors, each of which is configured to collect a sample during one or more sampling intervals forming a dwell period. The selector is configured to obtain only a subset of samples of a complete set of samples that can be collected during a dwell period. A solver is configured to solve an underdetermined system based on the collected samples and a mapping relation/phase function, to jointly determine one or more angles and one or more frequencies of transmissions received by the one or more sensors.

Abstract: A scheduling system can schedule several operations for parallel execution on a number of work processors. At least one of the operations is not to be executed, and the determination of which operation or operations are not to be executed and which ones are to be executed can be made only at run time. The scheduling system partitions a subset operations that excludes the one or more operation that are not to be executed into several groups based on, at least in part, an irregularity of operations resulting from the one or more operation that are not to be executed. In addition, the partitioning is based on, at least in part, locality of data elements associated with the subset of operations to be executed or loading of the several work processors.

Abstract: In a system for automatic generation of event-driven, tuple-space based programs from a sequential specification, a hierarchical mapping solution can target different runtimes relying on event-driven tasks (EDTs). The solution uses loop types to encode short, transitive relations among EDTs that can be evaluated efficiently at runtime. Specifically, permutable loops translate immediately into conservative point-to-point synchronizations of distance one. A runtime-agnostic which can be used to target the transformed code to different runtimes.
