Preliminary Hardware Concepts for a High-Energy Electron-Ring Accelerator

Energy Characterization of a RTOS Hardware Accelerator for SoCs

During the last decade several Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) hardware accelerators have been proposed. The accelerators perform operating system functionality traditionally implemented in software. While their effects on predictability and speedups have been studied, their impact on system energy consumption is still unknown. As a first step towards comparison of energy efficiency between H...

A High-Performance Hardware Accelerator for HEVC Motion Compensation

The presented master’s thesis has focused on the design and implementation of a motion compensation hardware accelerator for use in HEVC hybrid decoders, i.e. decoders that contain hardware as well as software parts. As the motion compensation is the most time consuming step in the decoding process it is crucial to implement it in a fast and efficient way. This paper elaborates the theoretical ...

Kinetic Stability Properties of an Intense Relativistic Electron Ring in a High-current Betatron Accelerator

Design Concepts of Astorage Ring for a High Power Xliv Free Electron Laser

We report on the study of a storage ring capable of sustaining an electron beam of the quality required for a high-gain free electron laser in the vacuum ultraviolet and X-ray region. We describe a method for the optimization of the design of the storage ring where several competing and often conflicting requirements come into play . We present an example design of a ring that satisfies the req...

Evaluation of the electron energy fluence and angular distributions from a clinical accelerator. A BEAMnrc Monte Carlo study

Background: Understanding of the incident electron energy and angular distributions from clinical electron accelerators (linacs) is important for dosimetry and treatment planning. The most important goals of this study were to evaluate the energy fluence and angular distributions of electron beams from a Neptun 10PC linac using the Monte Carlo (MC) code. Materials and Methods: The lina...
