Design and simulation of a pipelined arithmetic and logic unit, 2002

 Item — Call number MU Thesis Gok
Identifier: b2089047
Abstract Modern microprocessors are designed to execute arithmetic and logical instructions in one clock time. Emerging microprocessors implement multimedia instructions as part of the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and expect to run them in a single clock cycle. Designing circuits to implement multi-media instructions that execute in a single clock cycle poses a serious challenge to microprocessor designers. Sustained performance of the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU) is very critical to the...

Jitter analysis of data waveforms, 2002

 Item — Call number MU Thesis McG
Identifier: b2089048
Abstract Jitter is the deviation of a signal's transitions from ideal time positions. Excess jitter is undesireable in a communication system, as it can lead to increased bit error rate and degraded signal quality. This paper begins with an overview of the present state-of-the-art with respect to jitter analysis of data waveforms: The main characteristics of jitter are described, and corresonding measurement techniques are discussed. Waveform capture using both real-time and equivalent time...

Optimizing a Metropolitan Area Network, 2000

 Item — Call number MU Thesis Dem
Identifier: b2089521
Abstract Increased efficiency is the key ingredient to surviving in today's rapid paced environment. Electronic mail has become a mainstay to both government and business operations. However, to maintain a competitive edge, organizations must move past today's electronic messaging into an integrated data environment where large data files, and video are passed rapidly through the network in a seamless fashion. Organizations must continuously monitor their capability to participate in the...

Route optimization in mobile IP, 2002

 Item — Call number MU Thesis Gar
Identifier: b2089123
Abstract The goal of this project is to investigate techniques to optimize the datagram routing from a correspondent node to a mobile node in IP networks when mobility is supported. Without Route Optimization, all datagrams destined to a mobile node are routed through that mobile node's home agent, whch then tunnels each datagram to the mobile node's current location. The protocol extensions described here provide a means for correspondent nodes that implement them to cache the binding of a mobile...

Security characteristics of internet username and password authentication systems : an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of current and future authentication systems, 2012

 Item — Call number MU Thesis Car
Identifier: b4175556
Abstract Web authentication systems use username and password mechanisms as the primary control for authorizing access to sensitive data and other resources of the Internet. While most Internet users view authentication systems as secure and usable, much research shows and many security experts believe that this view and the current authentication systems promote bad habits that result in loss of security, which poses real dangers to the Internet. Because site-centric authentication models result...
