A quantitative rationale for the evolution of the genetic code is developed considering the principle of minimal hardware. This principle defines an optimal code as one that minimizes for a given amount of information ...

The number of cores in multicore computers has an irreversible tendency to increase. Also, computers with multiple sockets to insert multicore chips are based on a complex hardware design and are becoming more common. To ...

We present the first hardware implementation for a FPGA-based universal link for the transmission of different low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) connections through a single LVDS connection between different devices. ...

Ray tracing is a technique for rendering three-dimensional (3D) images into a twodimensional (2D) display by tracing a path of light through pixels on an image plane, the screen. The technique is capable of producing a ...
