Most publicly-available simulation tools only simulate RISC architectures. These tools cannot capture the instruction mix and memory reference patterns of CISC architectures. In this paper, we present an overview of Augmint, an execution-driven multiprocessor simulation toolkit that fills this gap by supporting Intel x86 architectures. Augmint also supports trace-driven simulation for uniproces...

This paper is to study the effect of surface coating and silane hydrophobic agents for high performance concrete durability in a marine environment of tidal zone and splash zone by exposure test in JiaoZhou Bay. The results indicated that surface coating had good protection and coating quality after a 5-year period and the adhesive strength with concrete surface was more than 2.5 MPa. Surface c...

In their daily lives, flying insects face a gauntlet of environmental challenges, from wind gusts to raindrop impacts. In this combined experimental and theoretical study, we use high-speed videography to film raindrop collisions upon both flying insects and dynamically scaled spherical mimics. We identify three outcomes of the collision based upon the insect’s mass and characteristic size: dro...

A drop impacting a solid surface with sufficient velocity will emit many small droplets creating a splash. However, splashing is completely suppressed if the surrounding gas pressure is lowered. The mechanism by which the gas affects splashing remains unknown. We use high-speed interference imaging to measure the air beneath all regions of a spreading viscous drop as well as optical absorption ...

In the present paper, cavitation bubble dynamics model for a single oscillating within droplet is improved based on classical Rayleigh–Plesset equation and effects of liquid surface tension viscosity are both considered. aspect experiment, collapsing dynamic process carried out by building high-speed photography experimental platform. addition, numerical solution collapse time also out. The fin...

Current free-to-play mobile games use various mechanics to control player progression. Through the game Jelly Splash, we study three such gating mechanics: occasional spikes in level difficulty, chapter gates every 20 levels, and a limited number of lives regenerating slowly over time. Using telemetry data from a quarter-million players, we explore how players approach each gating mechanic, foc...

Splash is a research project aimed at building a framework that supports the integration of multiple existing models, simulations, and data that represent parts of the broader health ecosystem. Specifically, our goal is to create a platform that takes expert models of constituent real-world systems related to health, synthesizing and integrating those models, resulting in an interoperating comp...

Stochastic composite simulation models, such as those created via the IBM Splash prototype platform, can be used to estimate performance measures for complex stochastic systems of systems. When, as in Splash, a composite model is made up of loosely coupled component models, we propose a method for improving the efficiency of composite-model simulations. To run n Monte Carlo replications of the ...
