Annual Conference: Communicating Process Architectures
Communicating Process Architectures 2018,
the 40th. WoTUG conference on concurrent and parallel systems, takes place from
Sunday August 19th. to Wednesday August 22nd. 2018 and is hosted by
Professor Dr. Rainer Spallek,
Chair of
VLSI Design, Diagnostics and Architecture
at the Faculty of Computer Science,
Technische Universität Dresden, Germany.
The conference is organised by Dr. Spallek in collboration with Oliver Knodel and Uwe Mielke
and in partnership with WoTUG.
About WoTUG
WoTUG provides a forum for the discussion and promotion of concurrency ideas,
tools and products in computer science.
It organises specialist workshops and annual conferences that address
key concurrency issues at all levels of software and hardware granularity.
WoTUG aims to progress the leading state of the art in:
-
theory (programming models, process algebra, semantics, ...);
-
practice (multicore processors and run-times, clusters, clouds, libraries, languages, verification, model checking, ...);
-
education (at school, undergraduate and postgraduate levels, ...);
-
applications (complex systems, modelling, supercomputing, embedded systems, robotics, games, e-commerce, ...);
and to stimulate discussion and ideas on the roles concurrency will play in the future:
-
for the next generation of scalable computer infrastructure (hard and soft) and application,
where scaling means the ability to ramp up functionality (stay in control as complexity increases)
as well as physical metrics (such as absolute performance and response times);
-
for system integrity (dependability, security, safety, liveness, ...);
-
for making things simple.
Of course, neither of the above sets of bullets are exclusive.

Transputer based adaptive signal processing
By John J. Soragham, Woon S. Gan, Kwong H. Goh, Robert W. Stewart, Tariq S. Durrani
Transputer based adaptive signal processing systems are considered. Efficient use of data communication networks requires adaptive equaliser structures that are efficient and have fast mean square error (MSE) convergence rates. The transputer based non-canonical least mean square (NCLMS) algorithm is implemented using a variant of the standard finite impulse response (FIR) filter,called the non-canonical FIR (NCFIR). Simulation results are given which show areduced excess mean square error level and an improved performance in an impulsive noise environment for the NCLMS over the conventional least mean square (LMS) algorithm. Simulation results comparing the LMS and NCLMS are presented.The equaliser structure based on the Kalman Filter has convergence rates that are independent of the channel's characteristics. A transputer based Kalman Equaliser and fast Kalman Equaliser are described. Speed-up curves for a variety of topologies for both systems are included.
