Post-pass partitioning of signal processing programs

Symmetric multiprocessor systems are increasingly common, not only as high-throughput servers, but as a vehicle for executing a single application in parallel in order to reduce its execution latency. This article presents Pedigree, a compilation tool that employs a new partitioning heuristic based on the program dependence graph (PDG). Pedigree creates overlapping, potentially interdependent threads, each executing on a subset of the SMP processors that matches the thread’s available parallelism. A unified framework is used to build threads from procedures, loop nests, loop iterations, and smaller constructs. Pedigree does not require any parallel language support; it is post-compilation tool that reads in object code. The SDIO Signal and Data Processing Benchmark Suite has been selected as an example of real-time, latency-sensitive code. Its coarse-grained data flow parallelism is naturally exploited by Pedigree to achieve speedups of 1.63×/2.13× (mean/max) and 1.71×/2.41× on two and four processors, respectively. There is roughly a 20% improvement over existing techniques that exploit only data parallelism. By exploiting the unidirectional flow of data for coarse-grained pipelining, the synchronization overhead is typically limited to less than 6% for synchronization latency of 100 cycles, and less than 2% for 10 cycles.

活性炭共吸附现象对有机蒸气穿透容量的影响

在空气避有机蒸气的气相色谱分析方法研究中，为获得可靠的采样效果，探讨了活性炭对共存有机蒸气的共吸附与穿透容量的关系，试验了四种有机蒸气共存时和组分的有采样效率。结果表明，共吸附使所有共存有机蒸气的穿透容量下降，共吸附物质愈多，穿透窝量下降愈严重。对二种和四种有机蒸气的共吸附，使丙酮的穿透容量下降２１．９％和４１．７％，四组分共存时，丙酮，丁酮，环已酮、甲苯的穿透窝量分别为５．６、５．０、９．７、１

A reconfigurable FACTS system for university laboratories

To fully understand the dynamic performance of the multiple flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) devices, a hardware setup is needed to complement software simulation for university research laboratories. This paper presents the schematic and basic controls of a reconfigurable FACTS system that can be used to realize the major voltage-sourced-converter FACTS topologies: the StatCom, the static synchronous series compensator (SSSC), and the unified power-flow controller (UPFC). Furthermore, the state models and control algorithms for the FACTS devices are proposed. The digital signal processor (DSP)-based control system enables new control methods to be rapidly implemented. The comparison of the experimental and simulation results is also provided to verify the proposed controls. The paper culminates in a list of suggested experiments appropriate for an elective/graduate course in electric power systems.     

Structure, Phonon Vibration, and Spin Correlation of LaBa2Cu3−x Co x O y

Polycrystalline samples LaBa₂Cu_3?xCo _x O _y (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) were synthesized by solid state reaction method. The structure, phonon vibration, conduction, and spin correlation were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, infrared spectra, resistivity, and electron spin resonance. It is found that there are orthorhombic–tetragonal and tetragonal–orthorhombic structural transitions with Co doping, and the conduction behavior changes from metallic to semiconducting. With the increase of Co content, the Cu(1)—O(1) phonon mode around 531 cm^?1 softens, the Cu(2)—O(2) phonon mode around 657 cm^?1 hardens, and the Cu(1)—O(4) mode around 583 cm^?1 is nearly unchanged. The Cu²⁺ spins tend to localize with Co doping. The changes in structure, phonon vibration, and spin correlation with Co doping are analyzed and discussed.     

Properties of Magnetic Nanoparticles about Doped Rare Earth and Its Composites

The magnetic liquid was prepared with ferric salt by inorganic gel technology. The effect of the doped rare earth elements on the properties of magnetic particles was analyzed. The magnetic liquid was composed with clay mineral into magnetic mineral composites. The crystal structure and micro-morphology of the nanoparticles were studied by XRD and TEM. The results show that the crystal structure of the magnetic particles doped 0.5 % of lanthanum is more complete, and the magnetic response capability is higher with doping agent. At the same time, the possibility of the clay mineral magnetic composites as the carrier of target drug was probed.     

Fluxing Agents on Ceramification of Composites of MgO-Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>-SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>/Boron Phenolic Resin

Fluxing agents of zinc borate, antimony oxide, galss frit A and glass frit B, with different melting or softening point temperatures, were added into MgO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂/boron phenol formaldehyde resin (MAS/BPF) composites to lower the formation temperature of eutectic liquid phase and promote the ceramification of ceramifiable composites. The effects of fluxing agents on the thermogravimetric properties, phase evolution, and microstructure evolution of MAS / BPF composites were characterized by TG-DSC, XRD and SEM analyses. The results reveal that the addition of a fluxing agent highly reduces the decomposition rate of MAS / BPF composites. Fluxing agents lower the formation temperatures of liquid phases of ceramifiable MAS / BPF composites obviously, and then promote the ceramification and densification process. The final residues of composites are ceramic surrounded by large amount of glass phases.
