Bit-Parallel Approximate Pattern Matching on the Xeon Phi Coprocessor
2014
Bit-parallel pattern matching encodes calculated values in bit arrays. This approach gains its efficiency by performing multiple updates within a machine word. An important parameter is therefore the machine word size (e.g. 32 or 64 bits). With the increasing length of vector registers, the efficient mapping of bit-parallel pattern matching algorithms onto modern high performance computing architectures is becoming increasingly important. In this paper, we investigate an efficient implementation of the Wu-Manber approximate pattern matching algorithm on the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. This architecture features a 512-bit long vector processing unit (VPU) as well as a large number of process…
Exploiting selective instruction reuse and value prediction in a superscalar architecture
2009
In our previously published research we discovered some very difficult to predict branches, called unbiased branches. Since the overall performance of modern processors is seriously affected by misprediction recovery, especially these difficult branches represent a source of important performance penalties. Our statistics show that about 28% of branches are dependent on critical Load instructions. Moreover, 5.61% of branches are unbiased and depend on critical Loads, too. In the same way, about 21% of branches depend on MUL/DIV instructions whereas 3.76% are unbiased and depend on MUL/DIV instructions. These dependences involve high-penalty mispredictions becoming serious performance obstac…
Volumetric and Ultrasonic Studies of 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Trifluoromethanesulfonate Ionic Liquid with Methanol, Ethanol, 1-Propanol, and Water…
2007
The speed of sound and density of mixtures of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][triflate]) with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and water, as well as of the pure components have been experimentally measured over the whole range of compositions at T = (278.15 to 338.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From these experimental data, the excess molar volume, excess isentropic compressibility, and excess speed of sound have been calculated and fitted to an extended version of the Redlich−Kister equation, which takes into account the dependence on composition and temperature simultaneously. The Prigogine−Flory−Patterson theory has also been used to explain the behavior of t…
Density, Speed of Sound, and Refractive Index of 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Trifluoromethanesulfonate with Acetone, Methyl Acetate, and Ethyl Acetat…
2009
Densities, speeds of sound, and refractive indices of the binary mixtures of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][triflate]) with acetone, methyl acetate, and ethyl acetate were experimentally measured over the whole range of compositions at T = (278.15 to 328.15) K and a pressure of 0.1 MPa. From these experimental data, excess molar volumes, excess isentropic compressibilities, molar refractions, and deviations in refractive indices have been calculated and fitted to an extended version of the Redlich−Kister equation, which takes into account the dependence on composition and temperature simultaneously. The Prigogine−Flory−Patterson theory has been used to specula…
A comprehensive study on the atom flow in the cross-field discharge of a Hall thruster
2011
The flow properties of Xe atoms were investigated in the 1 kW class PPS100-ML Hall effect thruster by means of Doppler-shifted laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy in the near infrared. Fluorescence spectra of the resonant level and the metastable level have been acquired inside and outside the thruster channel under several operating conditions. Analytical treatment and modelling of the measured lineshapes indicate the atom axial velocity increases inside the channel to a value well above the sound speed before decreasing quickly in the near-field plume. Numerical simulations performed with a fluid/kinetic hybrid approach allow us to explain the shape of the velocity profile. Atomic flo…
A mass-independent expanded Dunham analysis of aluminum monoxide and aluminum monosulfide
2018
Abstract Pure rotational transitions of 27Al16O, 27Al18O, 27Al32S, and 27Al34S are recorded in the vibrational ground state and singly excited vibrational state using a mm-wavelength supersonic jet spectrometer in combination with a laser ablation source. In total 275 rotational transitions have been assigned. For the first time, mass-independent expanded Dunham analyses are performed using isotopologues of aluminum monoxide and aluminum monosulfide. The breakdown of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is observed. Based on these mass-independent analyses, frequency positions of pure rotational transitions of the rare radioactive isotopologues 26AlO and 26AlS are predicted with uncertainties…

The purpose of the study is to determine the knowledge management methods that can be used in practice and be an innovative development factor in the knowledge triangle. For the achievement of this purpose the following tasks were accomplished. Tasks. In the course of a questionnaire survey the basic needs of the learners that cannot be met through usual education were revealed, training programmes were developed; said programmes were implemented on the base of the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE, Riga), Rezekne Higher School (Latvia), and Moscow State University (Russia). The results of training were obtained, processed and analysed. The primary methods were used including a brief descr…
Low-energy Neutrino Astronomy in LENA
2015
LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) is a proposed next-generation neutrino detector based on 50 kilotons of liquid scintillator. The low detection threshold, good energy resolution and excellent background rejection inherent to the liquid-scintillator detectors make LENA a versatile observatory for low-energy neutrinos from astrophysical and terrestrial sources. In the framework of the European LAGUNA-LBNO design study, LENA is also considered as far detector for a very-long baseline neutrino beam from CERN to Pyhasalmi ¨ (Finland). The present contribution gives an overview LENA’s broad research program, highlighting the unique capabilities of liquid scintillator for the detection of low-…
Modeling Atmospheric Turbulence via Rapid Distortion Theory: Spectral Tensor of Velocity and Buoyancy
2017
Abstract A spectral tensor model is presented for turbulent fluctuations of wind velocity components and temperature, assuming uniform vertical gradients in mean temperature and mean wind speed. The model is built upon rapid distortion theory (RDT) following studies by Mann and by Hanazaki and Hunt, using the eddy lifetime parameterization of Mann to make the model stationary. The buoyant spectral tensor model is driven via five parameters: the viscous dissipation rate ε, length scale of energy-containing eddies L, a turbulence anisotropy parameter , gradient Richardson number (Ri) representing the local atmospheric stability, and the rate of destruction of temperature variance . Model outp…
Validation of buoyancy driven spectral tensor model using HATS data
2016
We present a homogeneous spectral tensor model for wind velocity and temperature fluctuations, driven by mean vertical shear and mean temperature gradient. Results from the model, including one-dimensional velocity and temperature spectra and the associated co-spectra, are shown in this paper. The model also reproduces two-point statistics, such as coherence and phases, via cross-spectra between two points separated in space. Model results are compared with observations from the Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (HATS) field program (Horst et al. 2004). The spectral velocity tensor in the model is described via five parameters: the dissipation rate (), length scale of energy-containing eddi…
