A Hardware Accelerator for Biochemical Simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mathematical simulation of biological processes is a big challenge in both of biology and computer science. This enables biologists to approach the mechanism of life as systems, however, it’s an extremely computation intensive tasks. We’ve developed an FPGA-based hardware accelerator for biochemical simulations. This accelerator has a dedicated pipeline to solve ODEs by its dedicated pipeline mechanism. This mechanism is effective for parameter estimation or optimization process of biochemical models. It outperforms Intel’s Pentium4 with 5x to 80x performance gain.

Shielding simulations for safe use of curtain electron accelerator by MCNP4C
In an electron curtain accelerator, when the electron beam passes through the titanium exit window of the accelerator chamber, X-ray photons are produced as a negative by-product of retarding accelerated electrons. Controlling the produced X-ray photons to avoid their detrimental effects or in fact, proper shielding of the accelerator is an important issue that has to be considered in the use o...
متن کاملRobust Controller Design Based-on Aerodynamic Load Simulator Identification Driven by PMSM for Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulations
Aerodynamic load simulators generate the required time varying load to test the actuator’s performance in the laboratory. Electric Load Simulator (ELS) as one of variety of the dynamic load simulators should follows the rotation of the Under Test Actuator (UTA) and applies the desired torque to UTA’s rotor at the same time. In such a situation, a very large torque is imposed to the ELS from the...
متن کاملSimulation of a Digital Neuro-Chip for Spiking Neural Networks
Conventional hardware platforms are far from reaching real-time simulation requirements of complex spiking neural networks (SNN). Therefore we designed an accelerator board with a neuro-processorchip, called NeuroPipe-Chip. In this paper, we introduce two new concepts on chip-level to speed up the simulation of SNN. The concepts are implemented in the architecture of the NeuroPipe-Chip. We pres...
