The article provides a comparative analysis of four communication protocols between Omron PLC and PC for their use in real-time control of an industrial robot. The need for real-time communication appears when the robot control system is…
In this expository paper we will be primarily concerned with core aspects of Grids and Grid computing using free and open-source software with some emphasis on utility computing. It is based on a technical report entitled 'Grid-Computing…
Rather than creating yet another network controller which provides a framework in a specific (potentially new) programming language and runs as a monolithic application, in this paper we extend an existing operating system and leverage its…
When designing modern embedded computing systems, most software programmers choose to use multicore processors, possibly in combination with general-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs) and/or hardware accelerators. They also often…
Segment Routing is a modern variant of source routing that is being gradually deployed by network operators. Large ISPs use it for traffic engineering and fast reroute purposes. Its IPv6 dataplane, named SRv6, goes beyond the initial MPLS…
The majority of smartphones either run iOS or Android operating systems. This has created two distinct ecosystems largely controlled by Apple and Google - they dictate which applications can run, how they run, and what kind of phone…
In this paper, by using the formal language \emph{Circus}, we give a formal specification of an operating system based on ARINC 653 standard. Our specification includes interrupt handling, time and memory management, partition and process…
The AEgIS experiment at CERN recently decided to adopt a control system solution based on the Sinara/ARTIQ open hardware and software infrastructure. This decision meant to depart from the previously used paradigm of custom-made electronics…
This short report intends to provide an overview of the procedure and statistics of establishing a TCP/IP link between two USRP-E110. The testings are performed using an example GNURadio code and the networking protocol stack provided by…
The GRS is a one of the important units in Erbil Power Station EPS, which is responsible on controlling gas pressure and gas temperature this unit previously works manually. The local control panel for GRS system contains two types of…
This work describes the LLRF and control system in use for a novel accelerator structure developed for a compact design operating in C-band developed by SLAC, with collaboration from RadiaBeam and RadiaSoft. This design is a pulsed…
The proposed Next Linear Collider (NLC) contains linac systems operating at L,S,C, and X band. This paper describes a wideband modular low-level RF (LLRF) system applicable for all NLC pulsed RF systems. High speed digital IF techniques are…
System call filtering is a widely used security mechanism for protecting a shared OS kernel against untrusted user applications. However, existing system call filtering techniques either are too expensive due to the context switch overhead…
Modern Ethernet switches support many advanced features beyond route learning and packet forwarding such as VLAN tagging, IGMP snooping, rate limiting, and status monitoring, which can be controlled through a programmatic interface.…
Compute Express Link (CXL) serves as a rising industry standard, delivering high-speed cache-coherent links to a variety of devices, including host CPUs, computational accelerators, and memory devices. It is designed to promote system…
We introduce a controlled concurrency framework, derived from the Owicki-Gries method, for describing a hardware interface in detail sufficient to support the modelling and verification of small, embedded operating systems (OS's) whose…
The low-level RF (LLRF) systems for S-band linear accelerating structures are typically implemented with heterodyne base architectures. We have developed and characterized the next generation LLRF (NG-LLRF) based on the RF system-on-chip…
The servo control algorithms of the TNG, developed in the nineties, have been working for more than 20 years with no major updates. The original hardware was based on a VME-bus based platform running a real time operating system, a rather…
The optimization of an accelerator relies on the ability to monitor the behavior of the beam in an intelligent and timely fashion. The use of processor-driven front-ends allowed for the deployment of smart systems in the field for improved…
The forthcoming Extremely Large Telescopes all require adaptive optics systems for their successful operation. The real-time control for these systems becomes computationally challenging, in part limited by the memory bandwidths required…
