financial transactions to consumer purchases to political polling‚ a torrent of data now flows into every area of the global economy. Yet that river of information is meaningless without a workforce that can harness and analyze it. The effective use of big data will increasingly determine whether companies—and the US—can compete. But our education and training programs haven’t adapted to develop the skills big data demands. US students are shuttled along a familiar path in mathematics: first

Greedy Based Approach to Test Data Compression using Geometric Shapes ABSTRACT Systems-on-a-chip (SOC) are comprised of a collection of pre-designed and preverified cores and user defined logic (UDL). As the complexity of systems-on-a-chip continues to increase‚ the difficulty and cost of testing such chips is increasing rapidly. One of the challenges in testing SOC is dealing with the large size of test data that must be stored in the tester and transferred between the tester and the chip. The
