what else to add? 4 new docs from Tibia! Nice work

so my thesis is up

Parallel and Distributed Programming on Low Latency Clusters

aaand it's finally here! the latest and hopefully last thesis i'll have to write is finally public!
You can download it, read it, shred it, enjoy it, burn it, copy it as long as you quote the author and the source!

docs and news

besides the usual links for the stuff hosted on scribd

http://www.scribd.com/doc/22741568/Telecommunication-Electronics
http://www.scribd.com/doc/22741277/slides-Microprocessor-Based-Systems-48-32-bit-division-algorithm-flow-chart
http://www.scribd.com/doc/22740990/Elettronica-Applicata

we also have great news! Due to popular deman of nobody, all the slides published on Scribd will be ALSO published on SlideShare, to achieve maximum visibility!

http://www.slideshare.net/ProjectSymphony

here is the new outstanding link! don't worry we'll keep both upload systems -- older slides have been uploaded to slideshare and kept on scribd -- newer slides will be published on both!

Enjoy it fully!!!

Custom Instruction

all top notch quality! Authors include Matteo Ainardi, Matteo Bosio, Salvatore Campione, Vittorio Giovara, Alberto Grand, Fabio Margaglia and last but not least Alberto Tibaldi (plus other minor contributors)

old habits

so you thought that the old times for publishing was over? WRONG
we just didn't have anything to publish! Now things returned as they were some times ago, so enjoy as usual

Our newest author with HTML5 paper and slides

Welcome to Alberto Trivero, our new ProjectSymphony author!
He's made to the author level with two interesting computer security documents

they are about HTML5 sheets, explaining the new client storage capability of browser and how to abuse of them :)

doc and slides

good job Alberto
Vittorio

GLE-MiPS stable and lots of documents!!!

And we finally got it to the STABLE!!!
this project has been already awarded with a fantastic 30/30 mark (equivalent to an A)!!!

grab it here!

and if you are looking for documentation, we have two options:
either the wiki page at googlecode's
or the scribd pubblication

in any case, i hope you find it useful :)


while on the subject of cpu, i'm also posting a report of an (unsuccessuful) project of testing the cache in OpenSPARC T1 processor; it proved quite too hard for us and so we had to stop at a certain degree
however it might be useful for people involved in research like this
http://www.scribd.com/doc/3494208/Testing-of-the-Cache-Memory-in-the-OpenSPARC-T1
written by Matteo Ainardi, Matteo Bosio, Salvatore Campione, Vittorio Giovara and Alberto Grand

while speaking of documents, i also found out why some documents in Scribd were seen just as like they were printed by Gutenberg himself! It's all cause of the T1 font encoding, that even if may result more pleasant in file version, caused several glitches with the online view! Now all the affected documents (basically this one, this and this) are corrected

Tiba overload!!!

And while one of our documents has reached the Hot List for (no particular reason :D)

our great and only Tibia provides us with 3, and i say THREE, new documents

• Electrical Measures
• Introduction to Signal Analysis
• Time-Frequency Analysis

what to say...
very very very good job :)

OpenSSL is hot!

Wow! it appears that my document of some time ago
OpenSSL - User Manual and Data Format
has made it to the hot list of Scribd!
http://www.scribd.com/browse

well i'm excited, it's the first time something like that happens!!!
I might consider reworking on it (as soon as i complete this semester projects)

thanks a lot to whoever viewed and liked this document!
Vittorio

Some software engineering

Here is the set of slides i had to write for the software engineering course.

hope you like it :)

JPEG 2000 vs H.264 -- FIGHT!

here is the Video Communication project from our dear Vittorio Picco and fresh Giacomo Campieri from the telecomunication team!

They thoroughly analized two very popular compression format, jpeg2000 and h264, providing several images as example.

check it out!

and from Tibia too!

wait, there is more!
Alberto Tibaldi (nick'd Tibia) wants to give you his own special christmas gift!

http://www.scribd.com/doc/928448/Fisica-dei-Materiali-per-lElettronica

I'm not even sure on how to translate it, anyway it's about electronical and physical stuff, so way out of my bounds :P
but it should be foundamental to anyone who's studying those subjects! the doc is very well written, fluent, coherent and with lots of formulas!

enjoy :)

just before Christmas

and here i am yet again!
this time with Christmas gift for everyone!

for the studying guys, i finally completed the OpenSSL - User Manual and Data Format and published to Scribd as usual! Actually i did so some days ago, but they were preliminary versions of the document! so here is where you can learn all about openssl digests and ciphers (sort of)

http://www.scribd.com/doc/915895/OpenSSL-User-Manual-and-Data-Format


for the cinema guys, i wanted you to enjoy this special short about the Ulysses' Syndrome! Originally it should have been done with the guys of the first short, but then we realized that it was too big for us! so we put it off and started something else (that eventually turned up even worse). Later on i met some very skilled people with whom i was able to complete the short!
At any rate, before calling off this project, we shot some scenes with the guys of the first short, and one particular sequence of disastrous events was awfully funny!

and here it is! enjoy :D





Merry Christmas everyone!!!

some Latex finally!

so finally i have time and will to upload some stuff about the previous courses!
and this time we used Latex for writing documents (proud reason 1) and moreover we wrote in English (proud reason 2) so everyone will be able to understand our docs!

Alberto Grand was my group partner this time and we worked together for both the tasks pubblished (and i must say we made a pretty good team)!

so here we go with the documents:

Information Theory and Codes - Link
This file is the public (and clean) version of two different homeworks about Information Theory first, and Coding Application second. They were very nice to do as they allowed to understand many unclear stuff of the course, moreover the professor (Michele Elia) was very kind and helpful to us.

Computer Architecture: SnARM - a Snake game implementation for ARM - Link
And this second file describes the implentation details and general instructions for our version of the Snake game developed for an embedded ARM board (more specifically it was a NXP LPC2292). It was fantastic to develop the code and test it directly on the embedded system and the result was pretty satisfactorly! The professor (Matteo Sonza Reorda) liked our project very much and so we thought maybe it could be useful for other people to see our work, expecially for the display handling

(i'm borrowing some space from the quicklook site :P)


what now? months and months of silence? well probably yes, but don't worry!
next time, i'm going to speak about OpenSSL ;)

Integral and differential operations over multiple variables

Wow that's quite a post title, isn't it?
Well the content of what I'm going to show is none the less!

http://www.scribd.com/doc/340006/Calcolo-Differenziale-ed-Integrale-in-piu-variabili

My dear Alberto Tibaldi has provided his wonderful collection of notes of a course of Mathematics!
In particular, this essay regards (as the title says) integral and differential operations over multiple variables with lots of demonstrations and examples.
As usal everything edited with LaTeX. Great job Tibia!

3rd year is over

So, today was the last day of school! Now we can start studying hard for the next three tests and this year will be completely over.
If I had to wrap up this year, I'd say it was quite a good year, especially compared with the previous one! We finally started computer science, at least for the first semester, so we deepened some very funny aspects, like Operating Systems and Networks, the two subjects i liked most), while i less liked the database and programming part.
The year before this was much more traumatic as we were studying so much electronics that we often were found in identity crisis :-D It's true that the electrical part is very important in computer engineering, but if we were to study all the professionalizing subjects for an engeneer in just three years, we wouldn't even know how to turn on a pc!!!

However now it is too late to complain because in a way or another I managed to reach the end of the year in one piece! And to celebrate this event, I published on my Scribd account the two essay about some lab experiences in Phisics

The Wheatstone bridge
The Hall effect

Alberto wrote practically everything in them and he did a very good job by using Latex in both! I basically double checked them and for the second time in my life I approached a Latex document; the first time was while I had to write my degree essay, but I wasn't much motivated, this time though i was able to understand some of the grammar of Latex and I'm likely to use it in the future (as soon as i discover why it doesn't compile docs with images)...
so all hail to Alberto, all hail to Latex!!!

happy reading!!!

Next-generation DVD: read this to decide

>>>> Click here to read the essay <<<<

This is my final essay I wrote some time ago as "thesis" for the Politecnico. I'm putting "thesis" into quotes because it doesn't even compare with a real thesis: the real ones are 20 credits heavy, while the quoted one only 2! Anyways, though I'm happy I've writtend this essay (marked 27) I wish I had done something more interesting, while instead I chose the first one and the quickiest.
I'm not regretting this because for the few credits it counts it's ok, but I wouldn't have minded learning how to do something, or having deepened some other subjects. Oh well, I'll catch up with the next thesis, the heavy one.

So here is the long waited essay! You can easily read it online, download, convert to any format from this site.
This work is released under the same old licence: You can copy and use this document as you like as long as you quote the author (and if you let me know doing so I'll be grateful to you)


While presenting my essay I also introduce you to Scribd, a new way to post your documents online! It's actually the equivalent of Youtube or Deviantart for documents instead of videos and images! You can publish stuff, convert it to whatever format you nee
d and keep documents private or public! As you can see the online view is very comfortable!

Scribd is also useful for removing those copy-disabled pdfs! Just put it online and then download it without that useless protection! (update 2007/06/11: feature disabled)
