GPU acceleration of the frequency domain acceleration search for binary pulsars
… as they allow us to test general relativity. Acceleration searches are the most common technique for detecting signals from binary pulsars that may be missed by standard search techniques. One of these, the frequency domain acceleration search (FDAS), mitigates the effect of orbital …

Models for differential age acceleration
… independent failure mechanisms experiencing age acceleration. The models of systems during component age acceleration and the models of the residual lives of systems surviving component age acceleration are investigated. The fit of a single distribution to represent the failure time distribution …

TOWARDS ACCELERATION OF QUANTUM-CLASSICAL ORCHESTRATION
Quantum computing is expected to act as a hardware accelerator within future computing infrastructures, complementing classical processors in the same way GPUs accelerate specific workloads today. While algorithms such as Shor’s and Grover’s suggest potential advantages, the practical use of …

Topics in Cosmic Acceleration and Braneworlds
<p>Cosmic acceleration has come to be a standard, and perhaps required, ingredient in our current understanding of the universe. In the early universe, under the name of inflation, a phase of accelerated expansion is used to solve many problems with the standard Hot Big Bang cosmology. In the late …

Laser-Produced Plasmas for Particle Acceleration
… The technique is called laser wakefield acceleration, where electric fields of the order of 102 GV/m accelerate electrons to high energies (⇠102 MeV) over mm-distances in laser-produced plasmas. Among the prerequisites for this acceleration technique to produce electron beams are laser …

Gas acceleration by travelling conduction waves
A theory of operation has been derived for a proposed Travelling Conduction Wave accelerator, which predicts that such a device would be capable of operating both as a medium thrust - high specific impulse space propulsion device, with round trip times to Mars of as low as one month, and as a …

FPGA acceleration of DNA error correction
Correcting errors in DNA sequencing data is an important process that can improve the quality of downstream analyses using the data. Even though many error-correction methods have been proposed for Illumina reads, their throughput is not high enough to process data from large genomes. The thesis …

Inference neural network hardware acceleration techniques
A number of recent researches focus on designing accelerators for popular deep learning algorithms. Most of these algorithms heavily involve matrix multiplication. As a result, building a neural processing unit (NPU) beside the CPU to accelerate matrix multiplication is a popular approach. The NPU …

Cosmic acceleration and the coincidence problem
… 'dark energy' (DE) assumed to account for that acceleration behavior, is still mysterious and why its dominance only occurred recently is a profound problem widely known as the coincidence problem. So far all attempts for resolving the coincidence the problem have been unsatisfactory. Here we …
