Letter from Lester S. Diehl, Director of Finance and Records, Wartime Civil Control Administration, to Lincoln Kanai, May 20, 1942
No full textLetter from Lester S. Diehl to Lincoln Kanai, responding to letters Kanai sent to Diehl, R. L. Nicholson and Tom C. Diehl regarding food shortages and infringements on the right to free speech and access to newspapers at Temporary Assembly Centers.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide
Lester G. Wells: An Appreciation
No full textThis intimate portrait of Syracuse\u27s Lester G. Wells tells the story of a committed scholar, who contributed important scholarship on the famous and enigmatic author Stephen Crane, as well as works on the Oneida Communiry. Mr. Wells also organized the Lena R. Arents Rare Book Room in 1946, and became Syracuse University\u27s first Rare Book Librarian
World on the Edge: When Will the Food Bubble Burst?
No full text"Our early 21st century civilization is in trouble. We need not go beyond the world food economy to see this. Over the last few decades we have created a food production bubble -- one based on environmental trends that cannot be sustained, including overpumping aquifers, overplowing land, and overloading the atmosphere with carbon dioxide," notes Lester R. Brown, author of World on the Edge: How to Prevent Environmental and Economic Collapse (W. W. Norton & Company)

Overview of the SpiNNaker system architecture
No full textSpiNNaker (a contraction of Spiking Neural Network Architecture) is a million-core computing engine whose flagship goal is to be able to simulate the behaviour of aggregates of up to a billion neurons in real time. It consists of an array of ARM9 cores, communicating via packets carried by a custom interconnect fabric. The packets are small (40 or 72 bits), and their transmission is brokered entirely by hardware, giving the overall engine an extremely high bisection bandwidth of over 5 billion packets/s. Three of the principle axioms of parallel machine design - memory coherence, synchronicity and determinism - have been discarded in the design without, surprisingly, compromising the ability to perform meaningful computations. A further attribute of the system is the acknowledgement, from the initial design stages, that the sheer size of the implementation will make component failures an inevitable aspect of day-to-day operation, and fault detection and recovery mechanisms have been built into the system at many levels of abstraction. This paper describes the architecture of the machine and outlines the underlying design philosophy; software and applications are to be described in detail elsewhere, and only introduced in passing here as necessary to illuminate the description
A communication infrastructure for a million processor machine
No full textSpiNNaker (Spiking Neural Network architecture) is a massively parallel computing machine, comprising a million ARM9 cores. These are realised on 50000 chips, 20 cores/chip. While it could be classed as a MIMD machine, there is no unifying bus structure, and there is no attempt to maintain cross-system memory coherence. Inter-core communication is brokered by a fast message-passing system, built in and managed at the hardware level - thus there is an inevitable tension between speed and flexibility. The message passing infrastructure was designed to be fast and have a high bandwidth; a consequence of this design decision is that the effective data payload is only 32 bits/packet. Whilst this is ample for a wide range of applications, when the system is initialising, it is necessary to transport relatively large and sophisticated data structures across the system. This can be slow and cumbersome, and makes some form of internal self-organisation extremely attractive. This is described in outline here
