Software Partitioning

This study discusses hardware-software partitioning, which is useful for system-on-chip (SoC) applications. Hardware-software partitioning attempts to obtain the lowest execution time by combining a hardware processor system and a field programmable gate array on the SoC platform in embedded system applications. A three-level hybrid algorithm called GAGAPSO is proposed in this study. The algorithm consists of two successive genetic algorithms (GAs) and one particle swarm optimization (PSO). The drawbacks of these two algorithms are GA has low convergence speed and PSO has premature convergence because of low diversity. These algorithms are combined in this study to achieve high-capacity global convergence and enhanced search efficiency. In this study, three algorithms are developed, namely, GA, GAPSO and GAGAPSO using MATLAB. These algorithms are evaluated on the basis of the number of nodes and the minimum cost that can be achieved. The number of nodes varies from 10 to 1000 nodes. The minimum cost and the number of iterations to achieve the minimum cost are recorded. Results show that GAGAPSO can converge faster than GA and GAPSO. Furthermore, GAGAPSO can achieve the lowest cost for all nodes.

The Cost

Modern day field programmable gate arrays(FPGAs) have very huge and versatile logic resources resulting inthe migration of their application domain from prototypedesigning to low and medium volume production designing.Unfortunately most of the work pertaining to FPGAimplementations does not focus on the technology dependentoptimizations that can implement a desired functionality withreduced cost. In this paper we consider the mapping of simpleripple carry fixed-point adders (RCA) on look-up table (LUT)based FPGAs. The objective is to transform the given RCABoolean network into an optimized circuit netlist that canimplement the desired functionality with minimum cost. Weparticularly focus on 6-input LUTs that are inherent in all themodern day FPGAs. Technology dependent optimizations arecarried out to utilize this FPGA primitive efficiently and theresult is compared against various adder designs. Theimplementation targets the XC5VLX30-3FF324 device fromXilinx Virtex-5 FPGA family. The cost of the circuit is expressedin terms of the resources utilized, critical path delay and theamount of on-chip power dissipated. Our implementation resultsshow a reduction in resources usage by at least 50%; increase inspeed by at least 10% and reduction in dynamic powerdissipation by at least 30%. All this is achieved without anytechnology independent (architectural) modification.

The intestinal microbial flora has risen to be one of the important etiological factors in the development of diseases like colorectal cancer, obesity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, anxiety and Parkinson's. The emergence of the association between bacterial flora and lungs led to the discovery of the gut–lung axis. Dysbiosis of several species of colonic bacteria such as Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes and transfer of these bacteria from gut to lungs via lymphatic and systemic circulation are associated with several respiratory diseases such as lung cancer, asthma, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, etc. Current therapies for dysbiosis include use of probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics to restore the balance between various species of beneficial bacteria. Various approaches like nanotechnology and microencapsulation have been explored to increase the permeability and viability of probiotics in the body. The need of the day is comprehensive study of mechanisms behind dysbiosis, translocation of microbiota from gut to lung through various channels and new technology for evaluating treatment to correct this dysbiosis which in turn can be used to manage various respiratory diseases. Microfluidics and organ on chip model are emerging technologies that can satisfy these needs. This review gives an overview of colonic commensals in lung pathology and novel systems that help in alleviating symptoms of lung diseases. We have also hypothesized new models to help in understanding bacterial pathways involved in the gut–lung axis as well as act as a futuristic approach in finding treatment of respiratory diseases caused by dysbiosis.
