Depending on the topologies of these memory networks we find everything from true data sharing with shared caches to distributed memory architectures which just pretend to be physical shared memory systems. In fact, most many-cores are hybrid systems that exhibit the characteristics of both distributed systems and SMPs. In this paper we argue in favor of middleware platforms for many-cores. We will discuss the needed functionality in contrast to common distributed system middleware and present micro benchmarks on several architectures to substantiate our claims.

The amount of throughfall is governed by the characteristics of the vegetation canopy and the involved interception and stemflow effects. In initial, developing ecosystems, distinct patterns of the growing vegetation (e.g. patchiness) supposedly govern the spatial distribution of water in the system, thereby initiating and supporting hydro-ecological feedback processes. Questions are i) is the spatial variability of vegetation relevant for the system as a whole, and ii) how does the distribution of the effective precipitation (i.e. the infiltration) change over time in dependency of vegetation succession? We present the first results of a spatially distributed measurement approach of surface-near precipitation on the constructed catchment “Hühnerwasser” (“Chicken Creek”). The 6-ha site is located in the recultivation area of the lignite open-cast mine “Welzow-Süd” in Lower Lusatia, Brandenburg, Germany. Here, the free development of an initial ecosystem is investigated since September 2005. After eight years of succession, the spatial distribution of plant species is highly heterogeneous, and gains increasing influence on throughfall patterns, thus impacting the distribution of soil humidity and possibly even surface runoff. For spatially distributed precipitation measurement, 47 tipping bucket rain gauges were installed in heights of 0.5 m and 1.0 m along two transects on the catchment. Rain gauge data were collected by a wireless sensor node network provided by the Sens4U joint research project. The transects run NW-SE and NE-SW and cover the range of plant communities presently existing in the ecosystem: locust copses, dense sallow thorn bushes and reeds, base herbaceous and medium-rise small-reed vegetation, and open areas covered by moss and lichens. The raw measurement data were temporally aggregated using a VBA script in order to characterize interception for various types of precipitation events on different time scales. First results from the measurement period 17th July – 3rd September 2013 widely exhibit a good accordance with reference data from on-site weather stations for sites on open ground, while canopy sites show more heterogeneous values, either due to interception or due to canopy collection effects. However, it was found that the explanation of the differences between comparable sites requires an additional inclusion of other relevant parameters, e.g. wind speed and direction, screening effects, and specific canopy characteristics. Moreover, extreme precipitation events sometimes seemed to lead to incorrect measurements either by the sensor and / or node, which required supplementary quality controls of equipment and data. Results from future long-term measurements on the “Hühnerwasser” catchment will be used to identify possible plant-soil feedback mechanisms and to parameterize models that simulate the behavior of initial eco-hydrological systems Y1 - 2014 N1 - EGU2014-12176 PB - European Geophysical Society CY - Katlenburg-Lindau ER - TY - GEN A1 - Lopacinski, Lukasz A1 - Nolte, Jörg A1 - Büchner, Steffen A1 - Brzozowski, Marcin A1 - Kraemer, Rolf T1 - Design and Implementation of an Adaptive Algorithm for Hybrid Automatic Rrepeat Request T2 - 18th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits & Systems (DDECS), Belgrade/Serbia, 2015 KW - Adaptive Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Y1 - 2015 UR - http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=7195708&tag=1 U6 - https://doi.org/10.1109/DDECS.2015.32 SP - 263 EP - 266 PB - IEEE ER - TY - GEN A1 - Menzel, Hannes A1 - Karnapke, Reinhardt A1 - Büchner, Steffen A1 - Nolte, Jörg T1 - Applying Wireless Sensor Networks to Renaturation Monitoring: From Requirements to Deployment T2 - IFIP Wireless Days (WD) 2014, Rio/Brasil KW - Wireless Sensor Networks KW - Chicken Creek KW - Sens4U Y1 - 2014 U6 - https://doi.org/http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/WD.2014.7020825 PB - IEEE ER - TY - GEN A1 - Büchner, Steffen A1 - Nolte, Jörg A1 - Kraemer, Rolf A1 - Lopacinski, Lukasz A1 - Karnapke, Reinhardt T1 - Challenges for 100 Gbit/s End to End Communication: Increasing Throughput Through Parallel Processing T2 - 40th Annual IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks, 2015, Clearwater Beach Florida N2 - Today's applications and services become more dependent on fast wireless communication, for the upcoming years data-rate demands of 100Gbit/s can be easily expected. However, fulfilling that demand is a task which cannot simply be solved by upscaling existing technologies. While most of the research tackles the challenges regarding the transmission technology from the physical layer up to base-band processing, we focus on the challenges concerning the handling of that vast amount of data. The overall goal is to bring together the transmission technology with the operating system to create a suitable end-to-end communication solution. In this paper we argue that communication can be understood as a soft-realtime problem and how that helps introducing parallelism into protocol-processing.
