In this document we report on the recent development of a C++ interface to the FORTRAN-based evolution program QCDNUM. A short description of the interface is given with a few basic examples of its usage.
Xorshift128+ are pseudo random number generators with eight sets of parameters. Some of them are standard generators in many platforms, such as JavaScript V8 Engine. We show that in the 3D plots generated by this method, points concentrate…
In recent years the use of FPGAs to accelerate scientific applications has grown, with numerous applications demonstrating the benefit of FPGAs for high performance workloads. However, whilst High Level Synthesis (HLS) has significantly…
Automated unit test generation is a well-known methodology aiming to reduce the developers' effort of writing tests manually. Prior research focused mainly on statically typed programming languages like Java. In practice, however,…
We present a new version 3.2 of the LanHEP software package. New features include UFO output, color sextet particles and new substutution techniques which allow to define new routines.
We present 9 new tunes of the pT-ordered shower and underlying-event model in PYTHIA 6.4. These "Perugia" tunes update and supersede the older "S0" family. The data sets used to constrain the models include hadronic Z0 decays at LEP,…
Although, many scientists and engineers use Octave or MATLAB as their preferred programming language, dynamic nature of these languages can lead to slower running-time of programs written in these languages compared to programs written in…
Background: Compilers tend to produce cryptic and uninformative error messages, leaving programmers confused and requiring them to spend precious time to resolve the underlying error. To find help, programmers often take to online…
This paper provides an overview of the new features of the finite element library deal.II version 8.1.
The simulation of extensive air showers and particle cascades in general is a cornerstone of modern astroparticle physics. For more than two decades, CORSIKA, currently in version 7, has been one of the most widely used tools for this…
Neural network quantization is widely used to reduce model inference complexity in real-world deployments. However, traditional integer quantization suffers from accuracy degradation when adapting to various dynamic ranges. Recent research…
Recently, the idea of using FP8 as a number format for neural network training has been floating around the deep learning world. Given that most training is currently conducted with entire networks in FP32, or sometimes FP16 with…
Existing LoRaWAN/LoRa simulators consist of large, complicated C++ codebases and often do not support all device classes. This paper presents the design of a simple to use, Python-based discrete-event simulator that addresses these gaps…
