Matrix Code Based Error Correction for LUT Based Cyclic Redundancy Check
No full textAbstractCommunication is one of the vast and rapidly growing fields of engineering. Increasing the efficiency of communication by overcoming the external electromagnetic sources and noise is a challenging task. Various error detection and correction methods are introduced to reduce the loss of data while transmission. This paper proposes a novel method which use Cyclic Redundancy Check(CRC) for the error detection and the generated CRC error is corrected by using Hybrid Matrix Code(HMC) and they are coded in verilog HDL and simulated using Xilinx ISE Design suite 14.2. This proposed method can provide maximum error detection and correction capability with reduction in delay
Improved Architecture for Tag Matching in Cache Memory Coded with Error Correcting Codes
No full textAbstractCache memories serve as accelerators to improve the performance of modern microprocessors. Caches are vulnerable to soft errors because of technology scaling. So it is important to provide protection mechanisms against soft errors. Tag comparison is critical in cache memories to keep data integrity and high hit ratio. Error correcting codes (ECC) are used to enhance reliability of memory structures. The previous solution for cache access is to decode each cache way to detect and correct errors. In the proposed architecture ECC delay is moved to the non-critical path of the process by directly comparing the retrieved tag with the incoming new information which is encoded as well, thus reducing circuit complexity. For the efficient computation of hamming distance, butterfly weight accumulator is proposed to reduce latency and complexity further. The proposed architecture checks whether the incoming data matches the stored data. The proposed architecture reduces the latency and hardware complexity compared with the most recent implementation

Poetry as a performing art in the English-speaking Caribbean.
No full textThis thesis seeks to demonstrate that there is a direct relationship
between the emergence of poetry as a performing art in the English speaking Caribbean and phases of nationalist agitation from the uprisings
against unemployment, low pay and colonial neglect during 1937-8 to the
present. Though the poetry has many variations in scope, ranging from
light-hearted entertainment, its principal momentum has been one of
protest, nationalism and revolutionary sentiment. The thesis seeks to
relate tone, style and content both to specific periods and cultural
contexts, and to the degree of engagement of the individual artist in the
political struggle against oppression.
Frequently theatrical, the poetry has commanded a stage and a
popular audience. Though urban in style, it is rooted in older, rural
traditions. Creole, the vernacular of the masses, is a vital common
denominator. The poetry is aurally stimulating, and often highly
rhythmic. The popular music of the day has played an integral part, and
formative role in terms of composition.
The fundamental historical dynamic of the English-speaking Caribbean
has been one of violent imperialist imposition on the one hand, and
resistance by the black masses on the other. Creole language, with its
strong residuum of African grammatical constructs, concepts and
vocabulary, has been a central vehicle of resistance. It is a low-status
language in relation to the officially-endorsed Standard English. The
thesis argues that artists' assertion of Creole, and total identification
with it through their own voice, is a significant act of defiance and
patriotism.
Periods of heightened agitation in the recent past have each led to
the emergence of a distinctive form of performance poetry. Chapter two
examines the role of Louise Bennett as a mouthpiece of black pride and
nationalist sentiment largely in the period preceding independence. Her
principal aim is the affirmation of the black Jamaican's fundamental
humanity. She uses laughter both as a curative emotional release and as
an expression of mental freedom. She lays the foundations of a comic
tradition which does not fundamentally challenge the contradictions of
the post-independence period.
Chapter three relates the emergence of the Dub Poets of Jamaica to
the development of Rastafarianism into a mass post-independence
nationalist revival, and to the contribution of intellectuals, most
symbolically Walter Rodney, to the process of decolonization. Reggae
music, the principal creative response to the dynamics of the period both
in terms of lyrics and rhythmic tension, infuses the work of Michael
Smith, Cku Onuora, Mutabaruka and Erian Meeks examined in this study.
Chapter four illustrates the development of performed poetry in the
context of periods of insurrection and revolution in the East Caribbean.
It examines the Black Rower movement as a stimulus to cultural
nationalism and revolutionary sentiment, and its transcendence to
internationalism and socialism in the context of the Grenada Revolution.
