Layering of protocols o ers several well known advantages but typically leads to performance ine ciencies We present a model for layering and point out where the performance problems occur in stacks of layers using this model We then investigate the common execution paths in these stacks and how to identify them These paths are optimized using three techniques optimizing the computation compres...

Abstract-Several types of waves in a layered composite material were examined. In order to obtain explicit approximate solutions. a perturbation method was used. This approach views the nonhomogeneous layering as a perturbation on a homogeneous but anisotropic solid. For propagation normal to the direction of layering, it was necessary to include the second-order perturbation terms to get quali...

The contrasting melting behavior of different surface orientations in metals can be explained in terms of a repulsive or attractive effective interaction between the solid-liquid and the liquid-vapor interface. We show how a crucial part of this interaction originates from the layering effects near the liquid metal surface. Its sign depends on the relative tuning of layering oscillations to the...

In inertial fusion energy (IFE) research, a considerable attention has recently been focused on the issue of large target fabrication for MJ-class laser facilities. The ignition and high-gain target designs require a condensed uniform layer of hydrogen fuel on the inside of a spherical shell. In this report, we discuss the current status and further trends in the area of developing the layering...

New surface and layering phase diagrams are proposed based on generalized sine-Gordon models with and without a substrate potential. In particular, we find that the preroughening transition can be driven first order, explaining “zipper” features in heat capacity data for argon and krypton on graphite substrates. For different parameters, we predict the existence of a novel variant of den Nijs’ ...

Graphene plasmonic structures with long-range layering periodicity are presented. Resonance energy scaling with the number of graphene layers involved in plasmonic excitation allows these structures to support multiple plasmonic modes that couple and hybridize due to their physical proximity. Hybridized states exhibit bandwidth enhancements of 100-200% compared to unhybridized modes, and resona...
