Hardware and software architecture of a novel spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) based on smartphones using Variable Speed Control Moment Gyroscope (VSCMG) as actuator is proposed here. A spacecraft ground simulator…
We analyze the circumgalactic medium (CGM) for eight commonly-used cosmological codes in the AGORA collaboration. The codes are calibrated to use identical initial conditions, cosmology, heating and cooling, and star formation thresholds,…
In the multicore era, the time to computational results is increasingly determined by how quickly operands are accessed by cores, rather than by the speed of computation per operand. From high-performance computing (HPC) to mobile…
Very High Throughput satellites typically provide multibeam coverage, however, a common problem is that there can be a mismatch between the capacity of each beam and the traffic demand: some beams may fall short, while others exceed the…
Many-user MAC is an important model for understanding energy efficiency of massive random access in 5G and beyond. Introduced in Polyanskiy'2017 for the AWGN channel, subsequent works have provided improved bounds on the asymptotic minimum…
In this work, we introduce the concept of an entirely new circuit architecture based on the novel, physics-inspired computing paradigm: Memcomputing. In particular, we focus on digital memcomputing machines (DMMs) that can be designed…
The Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming model strikes a balance between the locality-aware, but explicit, message-passing model and the easy-to-use, but locality-agnostic, shared memory model. However, the PGAS rich memory…
This work deals with an ADCS model for a satellite orbiting around Earth. The object is to achieve a preliminary design and perform some analysis on it. To do so, a GNB was selected and main properties are exploited. Previous works of [9],…
The aim of this paper is to present an adaptable Fat Tree NoC architecture for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed for image analysis applications. Traditional NoCs (Network on Chip) are not optimal for dataflow applications with…
Analog Computing-in-Memory (ACIM) is an emerging architecture to perform efficient AI edge computing. However, current ACIM designs usually have unscalable topology and still heavily rely on manual efforts. These drawbacks limit the ACIM…
This paper introduces a high-performance artificial intelligence operating system tailored for low-altitude aviation, designed to address key challenges such as real-time task execution, computational efficiency, and seamless modular…
An adaptation of the Particle-Particle/Particle-Mesh (P3M) code to the special purpose hardware GRAPE is presented. The short range force is calculated by a four chip GRAPE-3A board, while the rest of the calculation is performed on a Sun…
Goal models have been widely used in Computer Science to represent software requirements, business objectives, and design qualities. Existing goal modelling techniques, however, have shown limitations of expressiveness and/or tractability…
We describe the angular sensing and control of the 4 km detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). The culmination of first generation LIGO detectors, Enhanced LIGO operated between 2009 and 2010 with about…
The ATLAS experiment has developed extensive software and distributed computing systems for Run 3 of the LHC. These systems are described in detail, including software infrastructure and workflows, distributed data and workload management,…
Radiative transfer modelling is part of many astrophysical simulations and is used to make synthetic observations and to assist analysis of observations. We concentrate on the modelling of the radio lines emitted by the interstellar medium.…
Our fascination with intelligent machines goes back to ancient times with the mythical automaton Talos, Aristotle's mode of mechanical thought (syllogism) and Heron of Alexandria's mechanical machines. However, the quest for Artificial…
Each generation of cellular communication systems is marked by a defining disruptive technology of its time, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) for 4G or Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) for 5G. Since…
In this paper, we describe the design and performance of GRAPE-6A, a special-purpose computer for gravitational many-body simulations. It was designed to be used with a PC cluster, in which each node has one GRAPE-6A. Such configuration is…
