Silicon technology will continue to provide an exponential increase in the availability of raw transistors. Effectively translating this resource into application performance, however, is open challenge that conventional superscalar designs not be able meet. We present WaveScalar as a scalable alternative designs. dataflow instruction set and execution model designed for scalable, low-complexity/high-performance processors. Unlike previous machines, can efficiently sequential memory...
The process of choosing a project delivery method is infused with cognitive uncertainties associated the decision maker. Fuzzy arise because imprecise understanding and subsequent representation these by maker, whereas random from variance imprecisions. Since there are no well-defined rules for spontaneous decisions, in order to be consistently confident appropriateness chosen method, structured approach incorporating uncertainty required. Previously unanswered questions such as (1) what...
Abstract This paper gives a summary of recent archaeological survey‐work carried out on the Islamic pilgrimage (Hajj) routes Arabia. The main types installations and features found are briefly discussed; these water systems, khans, mosques, forts, palaces, cemeteries, settlements, roads road markings. In future, surveys wider scale, both chronologically spatially, will enable more sophisticated analysis to take place.
This paper explores hierarchical instruction scheduling for a tiled processor. Our results show that at the top level of hierarchy, simple profile-driven algorithm effectively minimizes operand latency. After this schedule has been partitioned into large sections, bottom-level must more carefully analyze program structure when producing final schedule.Our analysis reveals bottom level, good depends upon balancing contention processing elements and latency between producer consumer...
Construction academics and practitioners often disagree on which set of factors should take precedence over another the basis for their inclusion in selecting a project delivery method. This disagreement exacerbates probability failure, could be detrimental to developing economies. Despite significant cost overruns these economies being largest contributors towards global energy sector growth, there is limited knowledge appropriate used methods oil gas nations. An evaluation undertaken...
Tiled architectures, such as RAW, SmartMemories, TRIPS, and WaveScalar, promise to address several issues facing conventional processors, including complexity, wire-delay, performance. The basic premise of these architectures is that larger, higher-performance implementations can be constructed by replicating the tile across chip. This paper explores area-performance trade-offs when designing one tiled architecture, WaveScalar. We use a synthesizable RTL model cycle-level simulator perform...

In response to current technology scaling trends, architects are developing a new style of processor, known as spatial computers. A computer is composed hundreds or even thousands simple, replicated processing elements (or PEs), frequently organized into grid. Several computers, such TRIPS, RAW, SmartMemories, nanoFabrics and WaveScalar, explicitly place program's instructions onto the Designing instruction placement algorithms an enormous challenge, there exponential (in size application)...
Abstract The Middle East plays a central role in human history harbouring vast diversity of ethnic, cultural and religious groups. However, much remains to be understood about past present genomic this region. Here we multidisciplinary bioarchaeological analysis two individuals dated the late 7th early 8th centuries, Umayyad Era, from Tell Qarassa, an open-air site modern-day Syria. Radiocarbon dates burial type are consistent with one earliest Islamic Arab burials Levant. Interestingly,...
Abstract What did the British know about Islam before modern period? The author reviews evidence which shows that there was contact with, and appreciation of, Muslim culture from almost time of Hegira in seventh century. This varied reflected different choices material culture: coinage, ceramics architecture, successive periods eighth century to nineteenth.
The aim of this article is to draw attention the considerable potential for investigating Ottoman archaeology Bulgaria and also consider what research has already been carried out. Because modern state gained its independence from Ottomans period history generally regarded in negative terms. physical evidence era, particular mosques other Muslim religious buildings, were reminders an alien past many them destroyed or allowed fall into ruin. Increasing archaeological activity recent years...
In recent years, computer architects have proposed tiled architectures in response to several emerging problems processor design, such as design complexity, wire delay, and fabrication reliability. One of these architectures, WaveScalar, uses a dynamic, tagged-token dataflow execution model simplify the tiles their interconnection network achieve good parallel performance. However, using reawakens old problems, including instruction overhead required for control flow. Previous work compiling...
The aim of this article is to present a preliminary report on an architectural survey Ramla which took place during the summer 1992. A total thirteen Mamluk and Ottoman buildings were recorded represent range types including mosques, tombs houses. reports are combined with catalogue historic should provide context for future archaeological work in city.

For construction clients, the presence of uncertain information inhibits their ability to choose correctly among project delivery methods because uncertainties maximise risk associated with choice. Also, process forming an opinion and making a decision contains uncertainty. Fuzzy arise imprecision in estimation relative importance criteria weighting each method on any criterion by maker. Random stem from variance these imprecisions. Presently, modelling decisions accounts for fuzziness, but...
SUMMARY: Ruwayda was first identified as an archaeological site in the 1970s and excavated between 2009 2014. Despite a paucity of documentary evidence, this large settlement, which extends over area more than 90 hectares, contains number features indicative urban settlement including two mosques, series warehouses, multi-period fort, courtyard houses interspersed with smaller, less substantial structures cemeteries. In addition to these buildings, there is also evidence for associated field...
AbstractThis article is a report on an architectural survey of three Muslim shrines carried out by the British School Archaeology in Jerusalem 1994. An introduction sets buildings within general context Palestinian shrines. Each shrine then described separately with discussion its location, history and architecture.

The author considers the prospects of Islamic archaeology in one most politically sensitive places world.
(Res.d'A.). Survey of Qal'at Jiddin, in Western Galilee, has elucidated its main phases construction. Built on an abandoned khirba by the Teutonic Order, probably 1220s or 1230s, first castle, with two massive towers set withn a high encircling wall, conforms more to layout contemporary Rhineland castles than other Crusader examples. In eighteenth century castle was refortified outer walls enclosure, and provided palatial appartments service building as residence Arab tax-farmer. Held Dāhir...
