The world is currently in the midst of the greatest demographic upheaval in human history. Dramatic reductions in mortality, followed (but with a lag) by equally marked reductions in fertility, resulted in a doubling of world population between 1960 and 2000.

متن کامل0.5 billion events per second time correlated single photon counting using CMOS SPAD arrays.
We present a digital architecture for fast acquisition of time correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) events from a 32×32 complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) single photon avalanche detector (SPAD) array (Megaframe) to the computer memory. Custom firmware was written to transmit event codes from 1024-TCSPC-enabled pixels for fast transfer of TCSPC events. Our 1024-channel TCSPC sy...
متن کاملThe Billion-Mulmod-Per-Second PC
This paper sets new speed records for ECM, the elliptic-curve method of factorization, on several different hardware platforms: GPUs (specifically the NVIDIA GTX), x86 CPUs with SSE2 (specifically the Intel Core 2 and the AMD Phenom), and the Cell (specifically the PlayStation 3 and the PowerXCell 8i). In particular, this paper explains how to carry out more than one billion 192-bit modular mul...
