FPGAs in High Perfomance Computing: Results from Two LDRD Projects.

Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been used as alternative computational de-vices for over a decade; however, they have not been used for traditional scientific com-puting due to their perceived lack of floating-point performance. In recent years, there hasbeen a surge of interest in alternatives to traditional microprocessors for high performancecomputing. Sandia National Labs began two projects to determine whether FPGAs wouldbe a suitable alternative to microprocessors for high performance scientific computing and,if so, how they should be integrated into the system. We present results that indicate thatFPGAs could have a significant impact on future systems. FPGAs have thepotentialtohave order of magnitude levels of performance wins on several key algorithms; however,there are serious questions as to whether the system integration challenge can be met. Fur-thermore, there remain challenges in FPGA programming and system level reliability whenusing FPGA devices.4 AcknowledgmentArun Rodrigues provided valuable support and assistance in the use of the Structural Sim-ulation Toolkit within an FPGA context. Curtis Janssen and Steve Plimpton provided valu-able insights into the workings of two Sandia applications (MPQC and LAMMPS, respec-tively). 5

Predictive management of enterprise power consumption based on the SINGULAR SPECTRUM ANALYSIS method using recurrent forecasting

Modern energy strategies aimed at the development of energy industry presuppose a significant change in the structure of process of formation, transmission, consumption of electrical energy and increasing energy efficiency by introducing modern technologies at all stages. The growth of capacities of industrial enterprises in the conditions of wholesale market of electrical energy and capacity in the modern energy system determines the need for development technologies of predictive control of power consumption process of these enterprises. The introduction of such technologies at the control rooms of the operational management of enterprises will allow to reduce the number of human errors, the number of emergency stops of technological process, increase the reliability of power system mode, rationally manage the process of power consumption of enterprises. In this regard, forecasting the load demand and consumption is an important stage in the functioning and planning of modern power systems. An accurate, correctly compiled forecast is the key to effective management of energy consumption process and reliable operation of the enterprise. Forecasting errors lead to imbalanced supply-demand, which negatively affects operating costs, reliability and efficiency.
The list algorithms accuracy characteristics improvement based on Krohn’s algorithm and its modifications

The research of algorithms for uniform loading of devices for homogeneous information processing systems is a very important science-intensive task. An experimental approach was chosen for the research. This is primarily due to the fact that the analytical solution of the distribution problem gives solutions that are far from reality, since it is unable to take into account many factors that affect the computing machine during its operation. The aim of this research is to improve the accuracy characteristics of the list algorithms through the use of heuristic algorithms, such as Krohn’s algorithm and its modifications. This made it possible to obtain a more even distribution of tasks among executive devices, which can be networked workstations, processors or processor cores. The work uses list algorithms, such as the Critical Path algorithm and Pashkeev’s algorithm, as well as heuristic algorithms - Krohn’s algorithm and its modifications. The main idea of the research is to obtain the best suboptimal solution by improving the quality of the resulting distribution. In this case, with the help of the list algorithms, the initial distribution is formed, and its refinement is carried out through the application of the Krohn’s algorithm and its modifications. In fact, in the work, a number of symbiotic algorithms are examined and analyzed. For this, many computational experiments were carried out and a large amount of output data were collected, on the basis of which conclusions were drawn about the effectiveness of the solution obtained for each symbiotic group and for all groups as a whole.
Modeling metal removal from workpiece surface during centrifugal rotation processing

The modeling and analysis the removal of metal process in centrifugal rotational processing of workpiece in abrasive medium are considered in this article. The single contact interaction process between abrasive particle and the workpiece surface is researched through three-dimensional modeling taking into account dry coefficient of friction. The contact interaction problem is solved through Ansys software and Archard code programmed to analyze the data. The removal of metal from the workpiece surface is researched when changing the technological parameters: friction coefficient, machining time, speed. The dependences between metal removal from the workpiece surface and technological parameters are constructed, from which reasonable parameters can be selected when machining the workpiece, allowing to achieve high accuracy. Experimental results have been confirmed by simulation results. Through this research, essential and important data sheets will be provided for actual production and testing activities. Consequently, time and money are saved in achieving the desired surface quality.
Low-noise measurements of the quantized Hall resistance using an improved cryogenic current comparator bridge

Significant improvements have been made on the bridge based on a cryogenic current comparator (CCC bridge) that is used at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, France (BIPM), for measurements of the quantized Hall resistance (QHR). Specifically, a SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device)-based DC nanovoltmeter and a new CCC with an increased number of turns have been built and incorporated into the bridge. QHR measurements with a very low noise level (2 parts in 10/sup 9/ of the ratio of the QHR to a 100- Omega standard) have been carried out using this improved bridge. <<ETX>>
Resource Management for Device-to-Device Communications in Heterogeneous Networks Using Stackelberg Game

Device-to-device (D2D) communications and femtocell systems can bring significant benefits to users’ throughput. However, the complicated three-tier interference among macrocell, femtocell, and D2D systems is a challenging issue in heterogeneous networks. As D2D user equipment (UE) can cause interference to cellular UE, scheduling and allocation of channel resources and power of D2D communication need elaborate coordination. In this paper, we propose a joint scheduling and resource allocation scheme to improve the performance of D2D communication. We take UE rate and UE fairness into account by performing interference management. First, we construct a Stackelberg game framework in which we group a macrocellular UE, a femtocellular UE, and a D2D UE to form a two-leader one-follower pair. The cellular UE are leaders, and D2D UE is the follower who buys channel resources from the leaders. We analyze the equilibrium of the game and obtain solutions to the equilibrium. Second, we propose an algorithm for joint scheduling of D2D pairs based on their utility. Finally, we perform computer simulations to study the performance of the proposed scheme.

A brief description of the Boyer-Moore algorithm was also considered. The result of the research is a new algorithm that optimizes the speed of finding virus signatures by scanning the beginning and end of the file, since these are common cases where viruses are located. The practical significance of this research lies in the development of an algorithm for finding virus signatures, which reduces the risk of infection of the operating system with viruses and provides the ability to quickly detect malware.
Determination of the hydrodynamic parameters of an underwater vehicle during small scale, nonuniform, 1-dimensional translation

The hover and tight maneuvering regime of an underwater vehicle is difficult to characterize hydrodynamically. Characterization in a reliable model is necessary for successful control of the vehicle during task performance. A 1-dimensional system identification procedure for this regime is described. The experimental set up is simple and noncritical. The analysis is performed by minimizing the error between the trajectories of the vehicle and several numerical models during a free decay. Minimization is controlled by the Nelder-Meade simplex algorithm. Agreement with the work of other researchers is strong. The procedure is flexible and may be extended to coupled models with 4 degrees of freedom. <<ETX>>

Strategic Communication of Corporate Social Responsibility Activities in Strengthening Customer Based-Organizational Reputation:Evidence from Jordanian Banks

Financial institutions have seen significant growth in the demand for corporate social responsibility activities, and banks are seeking to leverage customers‟ perceptions to build a sustainable competitive advantage. Consequently, the concepts of corporate social responsibility and organizationalreputation are of vital concern for academics and managers in terms of their potential impact on customers. This study contributes to the literature by examining the mediating role of customer trust on the relationship between corporate social responsibility activities and customer-based organizational reputation. The study also considers the role played by customer trust in a mediation effect. To achieve this aim, the study adopted signalling theory to provide a theoretical foundation. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 374 bank customers in Amman, the major commercial city in Jordan. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the research hypotheses and validate the proposed conceptual model. The findings indicated that both CSR and CT influenceCBOR, while CT was found to mediate the effect of CSR on CBOR. Therefore, all direct and indirect hypotheses in this study were supported. The study‟s results suggest that Jordan's banking sector shouldaggressively engage in CSR activities to strengthen the CBOR.
Nonlinear Time Series Analysis in the Geosciences-ReadingSample

We employed selected methods of time series analysis to investigate the spatial and seasonal variations of nonlinearity in the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data and in the outputs of the global climate model HadCM3 of the Hadley Center. The applied nonlinearity detection techniques were based on a direct comparison of the results of prediction by multiple linear regression and by the method of local linear models, complemented by tests using surrogate data. Series of daily values of relative topography and geopotential height were analyzed. Although some differences of the detected patterns of nonlinearity were found, their basic features seem to be identical for both the reanalysis and the model outputs. Most prominently, the distinct contrast between weak nonlinearity in the equatorial area and stronger nonlinearity in higher latitudes was well reproduced by the HadCM3 model. Nonlinearity tends to be slightly stronger in the model outputs than in the reanalysis data. Nonlinear behavior was generally stronger in the colder part of the year in the mid-latitudes of both hemispheres, for both analyzed datasets.
Privacy-Aware Accounting and Billing

: This paper proposes a smart privacy-preserving payment method devised for a scenario of online services provisioning. Our solution is able to enhance an existing framework holding Authentication and Authorization functionalities (AA) by further adding the Accounting and Billing capabilities, without the need to disclose any sensitive data to the Service Provider e.g. neither the real user identity nor her bank account number. This is achieved through the establishment of a trust network including the Bank, Service Providers and a new category of entities, named Accounting Server , acting as a broker between the formers. Services are accounted and billed by the Accounting Server on the basis of anonymous credentials, assigned to the user by her Bank. These credentials ensure that the Bank will pay the Accounting Server - that in turn will pay the Service Provider - on behalf of the undisclosed user. No single entity within the trust network possesses all the information required to profile the user, hence her privacy is preserved unless these entities cooperate against her interests. Starting from a reference framework relying on pseudonym-based Authentication and on Authorization management via anonymous credentials, we succeed in designing an innovative privacy-oriented architecture for complete exploitation of paid services.
Design and Implementation of a Planar 4x4 Butler Matrix in SIW Technology for Wide Band High Power Applications

This paper introduces a novel design of Butler matrix in substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology with wide frequency band characteristics. Butler matrices are particularly useful in advanced antenna design and characteristics such as wideband operation, power handling, manufacturing, integration, cost, etc. are typical issues to be addressed in many applications. The proposed planar 4 £ 4 Butler matrix provides an interesting solution to most of these issues. Wideband operation is achieved thanks to improved cross-couplers. These components are also characterized by higher power handling when compared to E-plane couplers. The use of SIW technology enables to reduce insertion losses compared to other printed technologies, while maintaining most advantages of such technologies such as high integration, manufacturing simplicity, low weight, etc. The proposed design is fully described, from the elementary building blocks to the full assembly performances. The design is optimized for operation in Ku-band with a center frequency at 12.5GHz. A prototype of the 4 £ 4 Butler matrix is manufactured, and good performances are conflrmed over 24% relative frequency bandwidth. Potential use of this sub-system in multibeam antenna design is also discussed.
REVIEW-A FORWARD-THINKING: NEW METHODOLOGIES TO UNDERSTAND DISEASE BIOLOGY IN HUMANS

It is the goal of all medical researchers to use as few animals as possible. Ultimately it would be ideal if the use of animals could be totally replaced by non-clinical methods. In the last 20 years, the number of animals used annually has decreased significantly and the search for validated alternatives continues. It is a common misconception that animals are used because they offer a “cheap alternative” to non-animal techniques. The reverse is in fact true. Research animals are very expensive to purchase, house, feed, and care for. Computers and laboratory equipment in the long run would be much less expensive, and much easier to care for. Many areas of research have already committed to replace all animal use with scientifically better alternative methods. Examples include the use of modern in vitro methods to replace the testing of caustic chemicals and the production of monoclonal antibodies, both procedures that are known to cause great pain when done on live animals. The main aim of this article is to focus on non-animal models, even though it cannot completely eliminate the use of animals in testing. However, several non-animal models have helped reduce the number of animals used in the field of biomedical and pharmaceutical research.
NewZ-BREAKSS: Post-tensioned Rocking Connection Detail Free of Beam Growth

This technical note concisely presents the details of a post-tensioned rocking moment connection (PT-RMC) concept that could be implemented in steel plate shear wall (SPSW) and moment-resisting frame (MRF) systems, along with preliminary results from limited SAP2000 cyclic nonlinear static pushover and time-history analyses that verify its anticipated behavior. The partial research results presented here could be of benefit in ongoing discussions about practical implementation and design codification of PT-RMCs [aka post-tensioned energy dissipating (PTED) or self-centering moment-resisting (SC-MRF) connections].
Calf/female ratio and population dynamics of wild forest reindeer in relation to wolf and moose abundances in a managed European ecosystem

Background The alternative prey hypothesis describes the mechanism for apparent competition whereby the mortality of the secondary prey species increases (and population size decreases decreases) by the increased predation by the shared predator if the population size of the primary prey decreases. Apparent competition is a process where the abundance of two co-existing prey species are negatively associated because they share a mutual predator, which negatively affects the abundance of both prey Here, we examined whether alternative prey and/or apparent competition hypothesis can explain the population dynamics and reproductive output of the secondary prey, wild forest reindeer (Rangifer tarandus fennicus) in Finland, in a predator-prey community in which moose (Alces alces) is the primary prey and the wolf (Canis lupus) is the generalist predator. Methods We examined a 22-year time series (1996–2017) to determine how the population size and the calf/female ratio of wild forest reindeer in Eastern Finland were related to the abundances of wolf and moose. Only moose population size was regulated by hunting. Summer predation of wolves on reindeer focuses on calves. We used least squares regression (GLS) models (for handling autocorrelated error structures and resulting pseudo-R2s) and generalized linear mixed (GLMs) models (for avoidance of negative predictions) to determine the relationships between abundances. We performed linear and general linear models for the calf/female ratio of reindeer. Results and synthesis The trends in reindeer population size and moose abundance were almost identical: an increase during the first years and then a decrease until the last years of our study period. Wolf population size in turn did not show long-term trends. Change in reindeer population size between consecutive winters was related positively to the calf/female ratio. The calf/female ratio was negatively related to wolf population size, but the reindeer population size was related to the wolf population only when moose abundance was entered as another independent variable. The wolf population was not related to moose abundance even though it is likely to consist the majority of the prey biomass. Because reindeer and moose populations were positively associated, our results seemed to support the alternative prey hypothesis more than the apparent competition hypothesis. However, these two hypotheses are not mutually exclusive and the primary mechanism is difficult to distinguish as the system is heavily managed by moose hunting. The recovery of wild forest reindeer in eastern Finland probably requires ecosystem management involving both habitat restoration and control of species abundances.
