Ianus: An adaptive FPGA computer
No full textWith Ianus, a next-generation field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based machine, the authors hope to build a system that can fully exploit the performance potential of FPGA devices. A software platform that simplifies Ianus programming will extend its intended application range to a wide class of interesting and computationally demanding problems. © 2006, IEE
IANUS: Scientific Computing on an FPGA-Based Architecture
No full textThis paper describes the architecture and FPGA-based implementation of a massively parallel processing system (IANUS). carefully tailored to the computing requirements of a class of simulation problems relevant in statistical physics. we first discuss the system architecture in general and then focus on the configuration of the system for Monte Carlo simulation of spin-glass systems. This is the first large-scale application of the machine, on which IANUS achieves impressive performance. Our architecture uses large-scale on chip parallelism (similar or equal to 1000 computing cores on each processor) so it is a relevant example in the quickly expanding field of many-core architectures
Cognomina in -ianus Derived from Cognomina
No full textIn this paper, I discuss Latin cognomina ending in -ianus derived from cognomina, a formation attested for instance in Priscianus and Severianus, derived from Priscus and Severus. The main part of the exposition consists of an inventory of all cognomina of this type known to me, divided into sections according to the types of cognomina from which the cognomina in -ianus have been derived. The paper also includes observations on cognomina in -inus and on agnomina of slaves and freedmen in -ianus derived from cognomina. I conclude the paper with observations on the chronology of the cognomina in -ianus. Unlike cognomina in -ianus derived from nomina (Aemilianus, Fulvianus, etc.), which are known already from the Republican period, cognomina in -ianus derived from cognomina seem to be attested only from the about the middle of first century AD onwards.Peer reviewe

Ianus Vitalis : In Christophorum Columbum Portait of a hero

Akroterion, 54:35-50, doi:10.7445/54-0-26.The original publication is available at http://akroterion.journals.ac.zaThe discovery of the New World at the end of the 15th century tested
the traditional assumptions, beliefs, and attitudes of Renaissance Europe.
Although the literary response during the 16th century showed a great deal of
diversity in its appreciation and evaluation of the discovery, the standards and
references used were inevitably those derived from an inherited classical and
Christian tradition. The discussion below will focus on Ianus Vitalis’ poem
In Christophorum Columbum — a literary example of 16th century Italian

Multicriteria analysis under uncertainty with IANUS - method and empirical results
No full textIANUS is a method for aiding public decision-making that supports efforts towards sustainable development and has a wide range of application. IANUS stands for Integrated Assessment of Decisions uNder Uncertainty for Sustainable Development. This paper introduces the main features of IANUS and illustrates the method using the results of a case study in the Torgau region (eastern Germany). IANUS structures the decision process into four steps: scenario derivation, criteria selection, modeling, evaluation. Its overall aim is to extract the information needed for a sound, responsible decision in a clear, transparent manner. The method is designed for use in conflict situations where environmental and socioeconomic effects need to be considered and so an interdisciplinary approach is required. Special emphasis is placed on a broad perception and consideration of uncertainty. Three types of uncertainty are explicitly taken into account by IANUS: development uncertainty (uncertainty about the social, economic and other developments that affect the consequences of decision), model uncertainty (uncertainty associated with the prediction of the effects of decisions), and weight uncertainty (uncertainty about the appropriate weighting of the criteria). The backbone of IANUS is a multicriteria method with the ability to process uncertain information. In the case study the multicriteria method PROMETHEE is used. Since PROMETHEE in its basic versions is not able to process uncertain information an extension of this method is developed here and described in detail

Multicriteria analysis under uncertainty with IANUS—method and empirical results
No full textIntegrated assessment of decisions under uncertainty for sustainable development (IANUS) is a method for aiding public decisionmaking that supports efforts towards sustainable development and has a wide range of applications. We introduce the main features of IANUS and illustrate the method by using the results of a case study in the Torgau region (eastern Germany) with conflicts over economic development and groundwater protection in the Elbe River basin. IANUS structures the decision process into four steps: scenario derivation, criteria selection, modelling, and evaluation. Its overall aim is to support the finding of policy solutions in a participatory setting and to extract the information needed for a sound, responsible decision in a clear, transparent manner. The method is designed for use in conflict situations where environmental and socioeconomic effects need to be considered and so an interdisciplinary approach is required. Special emphasis is placed on a broad perception and consideration of uncertainty. Three types of uncertainty are explicitly taken into account by IANUS: development uncertainty (uncertainty about the social, economic and other developments that affect the consequences of decision), model uncertainty (uncertainty associated with the prediction of the effects of decisions), and weight uncertainty (uncertainty about the appropriate weighting of the criteria). The backbone of IANUS is a multicriteria method with the ability to process uncertain information. In the case study the multicriteria method PROMETHEE is used. As PROMETHEE in its basic versions is not able to process uncertain information an extension of this method is developed here and described in detail. One methodological lesson to be learned from the experience of the case study reads that the design of the participation process must be planned and executed carefully to prevent important stakeholders backing out of the participatory evaluation process—as happened with the decisionmakers in the Torgau case study.
