A Comparison of Multi-objective Algorithms for the Automatic Design Space Exploration of a Superscalar System
2013
In today’s computer architectures the design spaces are huge, thus making it very difficult to find optimal configurations. One way to cope with this problem is to use Automatic Design Space Exploration (ADSE) techniques. We developed the Framework for Automatic Design Space Exploration (FADSE) which is focused on microarchitectural optimizations. This framework includes several state-of-the art heuristic algorithms.
Spectral analysis of the low-mass X-ray pulsar 4U 1822-371: Reflection component in a high-inclination system
2021
Context. The X-ray source 4U 1822-371 is an eclipsing low-mass X-ray binary and X-ray pulsar, hosting a NS that shows periodic pulsations in the X-ray band with a period of 0.59 s. The inclination angle of the system is so high (80–85°) that in principle, it should be hard to observe both the direct thermal emission of the central object and the reflection component of the spectrum because they are hidden by the outer edge of the accretion disc. Despite the number of studies carried out on this source, many aspects such as the geometry of the system, its luminosity, and its spectral features are still debated. Aims. Assuming that the source accretes at the Eddington limit, the analysis perf…
Magneto-elastic oscillations of neutron stars: exploring different magnetic field configurations
2012
We study magneto-elastic oscillations of highly magnetized neutron stars (magnetars) which have been proposed as an explanation for the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) appearing in the decaying tail of the giant flares of soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs). We extend previous studies by investigating various magnetic field configurations, computing the Alfv��n spectrum in each case and performing magneto-elastic simulations for a selected number of models. By identifying the observed frequencies of 28 Hz (SGR 1900+14) and 30 Hz (SGR 1806-20) with the fundamental Alfv��n QPOs, we estimate the required surface magnetic field strength. For the magnetic field configurations investigated (dipole…
Radio emission of SN1993J. The complete picture: II. Simultaneous fit of expansion and radio light curves
2010
We report on a simultaneous modelling of the expansion and radio light curves of SN1993J. We have developed a simulation code capable of generating synthetic expansion and radio light curves of supernovae by taking into consideration the evolution of the expanding shock, magnetic fields, and relativistic electrons, as well as the finite sensitivity of the interferometric arrays used in the observations. Our software successfully fits all the available radio data of SN 1993J with an standard emission model for supernovae extended with some physical considerations, as an evolution in the opacity of the ejecta material, a radial drop of the magnetic fields inside the radiating region, and a ch…
Testing Rate Dependent corrections on timing mode EPIC-pn spectra of the accreting Neutron Star GX 13+1
2014
When the EPIC-pn instrument on board XMM-Newton is operated in Timing mode, high count rates (>100 cts/s) of bright sources may affect the calibration of the energy scale, resulting in a modification of the real spectral shape. The corrections related to this effect are then strongly important in the study of the spectral properties. Tests of these calibrations are more suitable in sources which spectra are characterised by a large number of discrete features. Therefore, in this work, we carried out a spectral analysis of the accreting Neutron Star GX 13+1, which is a dipping source with several narrow absorption lines and a broad emission line in its spectrum. We tested two different co…
Sensitivity of one-neutron knockout of halo nuclei to their nuclear structure
2019
Halo nuclei are located far from stability and exhibit a very peculiar structure. Due to their very short lifetime, they are often studied through reactions. Breakup reactions are of particular interest since their cross sections are large for these loosely-bound nuclei. Inclusive measurements of breakup--also called knockout reactions--have even higher statistics. In this proceeding, we study which nuclear-structure information can be inferred from the parallel-momentum distribution of the core of one-neutron halo nuclei after the knockout of its halo neutron. In particular, we analyse the influence of the ground-state wavefunction, the presence of excited states within the halo-nucleus sp…
Studio delle prestazioni di giunzioni incollate ibride
2011
Le giunzioni ibride sono giunzioni in cui coesistono due differenti tipologie di giunzione, di cui una è l’incollaggio. L’articolo mostra i risultati di una campagna sperimentale volta a caratterizzare le prestazioni di giunti incollati ibridi in confronto ad alcune tipologie di giunzioni tradizionali. Si sono prese in considerazioni come tecnologie di giunzione tradizionali la saldatura a resistenza, la rivettatura a strappo, la clinciatura e la rivettatura auto perforante. In particolare si sono studiate le prestazioni di giunti a semplice sovrapposizione per differenti condizioni geometriche del giunto (spessore aderendi, passo tra i punti di fissaggio meccanico) e condizioni ambientali …
