How do visual skills relate to action video game performance?

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Oh-Hyeon Choung, Arthur Barakat

It has been claimed that video gamers possess increased perceptual and cognitive skills compared to non-video gamers. Here, we examined to which extent gaming performance in CS:GO (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive) correlates with visual performance.We tes ...

Investigating the Role of Educational Robotics in Formal Mathematics Education: The Case of Geometry for 15-Year-Old Students

Francesco Mondada, Frédérique Michèle Chessel-Lazzarotto, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Jérôme Guillaume Brender, Barbara Bruno, Laila Abdelsalam El-Hamamsy

Research has shown that Educational Robotics (ER) enhances student performance, interest, engagement and collaboration. However, until now, the adoption of robotics in formal education has remained relatively scarce. Among other causes, this is due to the ...

Buffer Placement and Sizing for High-Performance Dataflow Circuits

Paolo Ienne, Andrea Guerrieri, Lana Josipovic, Shabnam Sheikhha

Commercial high-level synthesis tools typically produce statically scheduled circuits. Yet, effective C-to-circuit conversion of arbitrary software applications calls for dataflow circuits, as they can handle efficiently variable latencies (e.g., caches) a ...

Combining Dynamic & Static Scheduling in High-level Synthesis

Paolo Ienne, Lana Josipovic

A central task in high-level synthesis is scheduling: the allocation of operations to clock cycles. The classic approach to scheduling is static, in which each operation is mapped to a clock cycle at compile-time, but recent years have seen the emergence o ...

The Simple Essence of Algebraic Subtyping: Principal Type Inference with Subtyping Made Easy

Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

MLsub extends traditional Hindley-Milner type inference with subtyping while preserving compact principal types, an exciting new development. However, its specification in terms of biunification is difficult to understand, relying on the new concepts of bi ...

Exploiting Errors for Efficiency: A Survey from Circuits to Applications

Babak Falsafi, Alexandros Daglis, Eva Darulova, Mattia Cacciotti, Damien Zufferey, Dorde Jevdic, Sasa Misailovic

When a computational task tolerates a relaxation of its specification or when an algorithm tolerates the effects of noise in its execution, hardware, system software, and programming language compilers or their runtime systems can trade deviations from cor ...
