Computer-modeling origin of a simple genetic apparatus

This computer simulation is based on a model of the origin of life proposed by H. Kuhn and J. Waser, where the evolution of short molecular strands is assumed to take place in a distinct spatiotemporal structured environment. In their model, the prebiotic situation is strongly simplified to grasp essential features of the evolution of the genetic apparatus without attempts to trace the historic path. With the tool of computer implementation confining to principle aspects and focused on critical features of the model, a deeper understanding of the model's premises is achieved. Each generation consists of three steps: (i) construction of devices (entities exposed to selection) presently available; (ii) selection; and (iii) multiplication of the isolated strands (R oligomers) by complementary copying with occasional variation by copying mismatch. In the beginning, the devices are single strands with random sequences; later, increasingly complex aggregates of strands form devices such as a hairpin-assembler device which develop in favorable cases. A monomers interlink by binding to the hairpin-assembler device, and a translation machinery, called the hairpin-assembler-enzyme device, emerges, which translates the sequence of R1 and R2 monomers in the assembler strand to the sequence of A1 and A2 monomers in the A oligomer, working as an enzyme.

Ianus: an adaptive FPGA computer

Dedicated machines designed for specific computational algorithms can outperform conventional computers by several orders of magnitude. In this note we describe Ianus, a new generation FPGA based machine and its basic features: hardware integration and wide reprogrammability. Our goal is to build a machine that can fully exploit the performance potential of new generation FPGA devices. We also plan a software platform which simplifies its programming, in order to extend its intended range of application to a wide class of interesting and computationally demanding problems. The decision to develop a dedicated processor is a complex one, involving careful assessment of its performance lead, during its expected lifetime, over traditional computers, taking into account their performance increase, as predicted by Moore’s law. We discuss this point in detail.

Incorporating global positioning data in real time P2P audio/video streams for mobile devices

We propose an original method to geoposition an audio/video stream with multiple emitters that are at the same time receivers of the mixed signal. The achieved method is suitable for those comes where a list of positions within a designated area is encoded with a degree of precision adjusted to the visualization capabilities; and is also easily extensible to support new requirements. This method extends a previously proposed protocol, without incurring in any performance penalty.
