Lecture 4 principles of parallel algorithm design updatedVajira Thambawita
The main principles of parallel algorithm design are discussed here. For more information: visit, https://sites.google.com/view/vajira-thambawita/leaning-materials
Parallel platforms can be organized in various ways, from an ideal parallel random access machine (PRAM) to more conventional architectures. PRAMs allow concurrent access to shared memory and can be divided into subclasses based on how simultaneous memory accesses are handled. Physical parallel computers use interconnection networks to provide communication between processing elements and memory. These networks include bus-based, crossbar, multistage, and various topologies like meshes and hypercubes. Maintaining cache coherence across multiple processors is important and can be achieved using invalidate protocols, directories, and snooping.
The theory behind parallel computing is covered here. For more theoretical knowledge: https://sites.google.com/view/vajira-thambawita/leaning-materials

Localization and navigation are important tasks for mobile robots. Localization involves determining a robot's position and orientation, which can be done using global positioning systems outdoors or local sensor networks indoors. Navigation involves planning a path to reach a goal destination. Common navigation algorithms include Dijkstra's algorithm, A* algorithm, potential field method, wandering standpoint algorithm, and DistBug algorithm. Each algorithm has different requirements and approaches to planning paths between a starting point and goal.
On-off control is the simplest method of feedback control where the motor power is either switched fully on or off depending on whether the actual speed is higher or lower than the desired speed. A PID controller is a more advanced control method that uses proportional, integral and derivative terms to provide smoother control compared to on-off control and help reduce steady-state error. PID control is almost an industry standard approach for feedback-based motor speed regulation.
Sensors and actuators are important components for robots. Sensors can be analog or digital and include sensors for position, orientation, distance, light, and more. The right sensor must match the application needs. Actuators allow robots to move and interact with their environment. Common actuators include DC motors, stepper motors, and servos, which can be controlled through techniques like pulse-width modulation. Together, sensors and actuators enable robots to perceive and interact with the world.
Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering with an emphasis on integrated design. It has applications across many scales, from micro-electromechanical systems to large transportation systems like high-speed trains. Some key applications discussed in the document include CNC machining, automobiles using technologies like brake-by-wire, smart home appliances, prosthetics, pacemakers and defibrillators, unmanned aerial vehicles, and robots for space exploration, military, sanitation, and other uses. Mechatronics allows the development of advanced, integrated systems for improved performance, safety, efficiency and user experience.
Registers are groups of flip-flops that store binary information, while counters are a special type of register that sequences through a set of states. A register consists of flip-flops and gates, and can store multiple bits. Counters increment or decrement their state in response to clock pulses. There are two main types: ripple counters where flip-flops trigger each other, and synchronous counters where all flip-flops change on a clock pulse.
Design procedures or methodologies specify hardware that will
implement the desired behaviour. The design of a clocked sequential circuit starts from a set of specifications and culminates in a logic diagram or a list of Boolean functions from which the logic diagram can be obtained.

The analysis describes what a given circuit will do under certain
operating conditions. The behaviour of a clocked sequential
circuit is determined from the inputs, the outputs, and the
state of its flip-flops.

The Pala kings were people-protectors. In fact, Gopal was elected to the throne only to end Matsya Nyaya. Bhagalpur Abhiledh states that Dharmapala imposed only fair taxes on the people. Rampala abolished the unjust taxes imposed by Bhima. The Pala rulers were lovers of learning. Vikramshila University was established by Dharmapala. He opened 50 other learning centers. A famous Buddhist scholar named Haribhadra was to be present in his court. Devpala appointed another Buddhist scholar named Veerdeva as the vice president of Nalanda Vihar. Among other scholars of this period, Sandhyakar Nandi, Chakrapani Dutta and Vajradatta are especially famous. Sandhyakar Nandi wrote the famous poem of this period 'Ramcharit'.

Understanding P–N Junction Semiconductors: A Beginner’s GuideGS Virdi
Dive into the fundamentals of P–N junctions, the heart of every diode and semiconductor device. In this concise presentation, Dr. G.S. Virdi (Former Chief Scientist, CSIR-CEERI Pilani) covers:
What Is a P–N Junction? Learn how P-type and N-type materials join to create a diode.
Depletion Region & Biasing: See how forward and reverse bias shape the voltage–current behavior.
V–I Characteristics: Understand the curve that defines diode operation.
Real-World Uses: Discover common applications in rectifiers, signal clipping, and more.
Ideal for electronics students, hobbyists, and engineers seeking a clear, practical introduction to P–N junction semiconductors.
"Basics of Heterocyclic Compounds and Their Naming Rules"rupalinirmalbpharm
This video is about heterocyclic compounds, which are chemical compounds with rings that include atoms like nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur along with carbon. It covers:
Introduction – What heterocyclic compounds are.
Prefix for heteroatom – How to name the different non-carbon atoms in the ring.
Suffix for heterocyclic compounds – How to finish the name depending on the ring size and type.
Nomenclature rules – Simple rules for naming these compounds the right way.
Common rings – Examples of popular heterocyclic compounds used in real life.
This presentation was provided by Bill Kasdorf of Kasdorf & Associates LLC and Publishing Technology Partners, during the fifth session of the NISO training series "Accessibility Essentials." Session Five: A Standards Seminar, was held May 1, 2025.

12. Definition of Embedded Systems
Embedded system: is a system whose
principal function is not computational,
but which is controlled by a computer
embedded within it.

21. Microprocessors and Microcontrollers
The microprocessor is a processor on one silicon
chip.
The microcontrollers are used in embedded
computing.
The microcontroller is a microprocessor with
added circuitry.

25. PIC Microcontrollers
Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) was originally
designed by General Instruments
In the late 1970s, GI introduced PIC® 1650 and
1655 – RISC with 30 instructions.
PIC was sold to Microchip
Features: low-cost, self-contained, 8-bit, Harvard
structure, pipelined, RISC, single accumulator,
with fixed reset and interrupt vectors.

‘C’ implies CMOS technology; Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
‘F’ insert indicates incorporation of Flash memory technology
Example: 16C84 was the first of its kind. It was later reissued as the 16F84,
incorporating Flash memory technology. It was then reissued as 16F84A.
30. Choosing a microcontroller
Five major 8-bit microcontrollers:
• Freescale semiconductors (Motorola)
• Intel’s 8051
• Atmel’s AVR
• Zilog’s Z8
• PIC
31. Choosing a microcontroller
Three criteria in choosing a microcontroller:
1. Meeting the computing needs of the task at
hand efficiently and cost effectively.
2. Availability of software and hardware
development tools (Compilers, assemblers,
debuggers and emulators).
3. Wide availability and reliable sources of the
microcontroller.
32. Mechatronics and microcontrollers
Many technical processes and products in the are
of mechanical and electrical engineering show an
increasing integration of mechanics with electronic
and information processing.
Mechatronic = hardware + software
