Automation in Horticulture:: Design and Evaluation of a Cost-Effective Parallel Robot Arm

This thesis presents the conceptual development of an innovative parallel manipulator that leverages the beneficial attributes of parallel kinematic structures. These attributes include increased stiffness, uniform load distribution, and reduced moving mass, which are strategically incorporated into the design to enhance resource efficiency....

Development of a workload set for multi-core architectures

With the rise of multi-core chips in commodity hardware, the need for specialized workloads to evaluate the performance of multi-core systems has become apparent. The current generation of workloads used for evaluating multi-core systems often consist of sequential programs not capable of running on multiple processors and are therefore of...
