A Toolchain for Streaming Dataflow Accelerator Designs for Big Data Analytics: Defining an IR for Composable Typed Streaming Dataflow Designs

Tydi is an open specification for streaming dataflow designs in digital circuits, allowing designers to express how composite and variable-length data structures are transferred over streams using clear, data-centric types. This provides a higher-level method for defining interfaces between components as opposed to existing bit- and byte-based...

Exploring Code Coverage in Open-Source Development

Software development has increasingly become an activity that is (partially) done online on open-source platforms such as GitHub, and with it, so have the tools developers typically use. One such category of tools is that of code coverage tools. These tools track and report coverage data generated during CI tests. As the adoption of these tools...

BRiM: A Modular Bicycle-Rider Modeling Framework

Bicycles have been studied extensively over the past 200 years, with mathematical models providing valuable insights into various aspects of bicycle dynamics and rider control. However, the lack of a common framework for creating and sharing bicycle-rider models hinders the development of advanced models, research reproducibility, and...
