A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

"Trojan horses"
"logic bombs"
"bacteria" or "rabbits" which multiply rapidly and fill up the computer's memory.
Computer crimes, such as / embezzlement or planting of logic bombs /, are
normally committed by /trusted personnel/ who have permission to use
the computer system. Computer security, therefore, must also be concerned
with the actions of trusted computer users.
COMPUTER CRIME can be costly for cleanup and investigation
Computer Crime
20. • Computer criminals -using a computer to commit an illegal act
• Who are computer criminals?
• Employees – disgruntled or dishonest --the largest category
• Outside users - customers or suppliers
• “Hackers” and “crackers” - hackers do it “for fun” but crackers have
malicious intent
• Organized crime - tracking illegal enterprises, forgery, counterfeiting
Computer Crime
21. • Damage to computers, programs or files
• Viruses - migrate through systems attached to files and programs
• Worms - continuously self-replicate
• Theft
• Of hardware, software, data, computer time
• Software piracy - unauthorized copies of copyrighted material
• View/Manipulation
• “Unauthorized entry” and “harmless message” still illegal
Types of Computer Crime
22. Computers as an Engineering Tool
• Computer Design Tools
• Integration of Computers into Engineered Systems
23. Autonomous Computers
• Autonomy refers to the ability of a computer to make decisions
without the intervention of humans.
• Stock trading
• Military weapons
24. Computer ethics: other issues
• Health Conditions.
Engineers who supervise computer personnel or design computer terminals
should check that ergonomic considerations are in effect to reduce back
problems,
provide wrist support, offer good keyboard layouts to prevent carpal tunnel
syndrome, and offer good lighting and flicker control.
• Computer Failures.
Failures can occur because of errors in hardware or software. Hardware errors do
not occur often, and when they do they usually do so quite obviously. An exception
was Intel’s highly touted Pentium chip, introduced in 1993. It produced very slight
and rare errors in floating-point arithmetic. Perhaps more serious was the loss of
confidence Intel suffered by not revealing the error before it was detected by a
user.
25. Rapid Change:
Reduced response time to competition
Maintaining Boundaries:
Family, work, leisure
Dependence And Vulnerability
Employment:
Re-engineering job loss
Equity & Access:
Increasing gap between haves and have nots
Health Issues
Quality of Life Issues
26. Ergonomics:
helps computer users to avoid physical and mental health risks
and to increase productivity
Avoid eyestrain and headache
Take regular breaks every couple of hours
Control ambient light and insure adequate monitor brightness
Avoid back and neck pain
Have adjustable equipment with adequate back support
Keep monitor at, or slightly below eye level
Ergonomics and Physical Health Issues
27. • Avoid effects of electromagnetic fields (VDT radiation)
• Possible connection to miscarriages and cancers, but no statistical support
yet
• Use caution if pregnant
• Avoid repetitive strain injury (RSI)
• Injuries from fast, repetitive work
• Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) - nerve and tendon damage in hands and
wrists
Physical Health Issues
28. • Microcomputers are the greatest user of electricity in the
workplace
• “Green” PCs
• System unit and display - minimize unnecessary energy consumption and
power down when not in use
• Manufacturing - avoids harmful chemicals in production, focus on
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) which some blame for ozone layer depletion
The Environment
29. • Conserve
• Turn computers off at end of work day
• Use screen savers
• Recycle
• Most of the paper we use is eligible
• Dispose of old parts via recycling programs – most computer parts are dangerous
in landfills
• Educate
• Know the facts about ecological issues
Personal Responsibility of Users
30. • Computer professionals find themselves in a variety of professional
relationships with other people.
• Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), have established codes of ethics, curriculum
guidelines and accreditation requirements.
Professional Responsibility and Code of Ethics
31. • According to the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) code, a
computing professional:
• Contributes to society and human well-being
• Avoids harm to others
• Is honest and trustworthy
• Is fair and takes action not to discriminate
• Honors property rights, including copyrights and patents
• Gives proper credit when using the intellectual property of others
• Respects other individuals’ rights to privacy
• Honors confidentiality
