Many nuclear applications still require more computational power than the current computers can provide. Furthermore, some of them require dedicated machines, because they must run constantly or no delay is allowed. To satisfy these requirements, we introduce computer accelerators which can provide higher computational power with lower prices than the current commodity processors. However, the ...

Tridiagonal systems play a fundamental role in matrix computation. In particular, in recent years parallel algorithms for the solution of tridiagonal systems have been developed. Among these, the cyclic reduction algorithm is particularly interesting. Here the stability of the cyclic reduction method is studied under the assumption of diagonal dominance. A backward error analysis is made, yield...

We review the properties of classical p-brane solutions to supergravity theories, i.e. solutions that may be interpreted as Poincaré-invariant hyperplanes in space-time. Topics covered include the distinction between elementary/electric and soli-tonic/magnetic solutions, examples of singularity and global structure, relations between mass densities, charge densities and the preservation of unbr...

This work presents an adaptation of the classical diagonal fault attack on APE which is a member of the PRIMATEs family of authenticated encryption (AE) schemes. APE is the rst nonce misuseresistant permutation based AE scheme and is one of the submissions to the CAESAR competition. In this work we showcase how nonce reuse can be misused in the context of di erential fault analysis of on-line a...

This letter proposes an efficient transmit power allocation using partial channel information feedback for the closed-loop sorted QR decomposition (SQRD) based V-BLAST systems. For the feedback information, the positive real-valued diagonal elements of R are forwarded to the transmitter. With the proposed transmit power allocation that is numerically derived by the Lagrange optimization method,...

This paper describes an integrated framework for SOC test automation. This framework is based on a new approach for Wrapper/TAM co-optimization based on rectangle packing considering the diagonal length of the rectangles to emphasize on both TAM widths required by a core and its corresponding testing time. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to construct wrappers that reduce testin...

We derive a bound on the order of accuracy of interpolation operators for energy stable summation-by-parts discretizations on non-conforming multiblock meshes. The new theoretical result, which corroborate with experience from previous work, implies a local reduction in the formal accuracy of summation-by-parts discretizations based on diagonal norms. Numerical results confirm a corresponding r...
