4 layer Wallace reduction of an 8x8 partial product matrix, using 15 half adders (two dots) and 38 full adders (three dots). The dots in each column are bits of equal weight. A Wallace multiplier is a hardware implementation of a binary multiplier, a digital circuit that multiplies two integers.
Layers of protection analysis (LOPA) is a technique for evaluating the hazards, risks and layers of protection associated with a system, such as a chemical process plant. . In terms of complexity and rigour LOPA lies between qualitative techniques such as hazard and operability studies (HAZOP) and quantitative techniques such as fault trees and event trees.
Factory Physics [1] is a book written by Wallace Hopp and Mark Spearman, which introduces a science of operations for manufacturing management. According to the book's preface, Factory Physics is "a systematic description of the underlying behavior of manufacturing systems. Understanding it enables managers and engineers to work with the ...
Unlike Wallace multipliers that reduce as much as possible on each layer, Dadda multipliers attempt to minimize the number of gates used, as well as input/output delay. Because of this, Dadda multipliers have a less expensive reduction phase, but the final numbers may be a few bits longer, thus requiring slightly bigger adders.
The Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) model comprises the following four layers: Business management layer: performs functions related to business aspects, analyzes trends and quality issues, for example, or to provide a basis for billing and other financial reports. Service management layer: performs functions for the handling of ...
William A. Wallace (often referred to as William "Al" Wallace) [1] is an American systems and infrastructure engineering expert. He is professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the department of decision sciences and engineering systems, and holds joint appointments in cognitive sciences and civil and environmental engineering.
Minimum message length (MML) is a Bayesian information-theoretic method for statistical model comparison and selection. [1] It provides a formal information theory restatement of Occam's Razor: even when models are equal in their measure of fit-accuracy to the observed data, the one generating the most concise explanation of data is more likely to be correct (where the explanation consists of ...
Example from MIL-HDBK-881, which illustrates the first three levels of a typical aircraft system [1]. A work-breakdown structure (WBS) [2] in project management and systems engineering is a deliverable-oriented breakdown of a project into smaller components.
