We report on the latest version of our GNU-Linux port of the ATLAS - SYNTHE - WIDTH suite of codes for the stellar atmosphere modeling. The latest version (8.1 at the time of the workshop) of the Intel Fortran Compiler allowed for a…
The complexity of modern and upcoming computing architectures poses severe challenges for code developers and application specialists, and forces them to expose the highest possible degree of parallelism, in order to make the best use of…
A new collection of photodissociation and photoionisation cross sections for 102 atoms and molecules of astrochemical interest has been assembled, along with a brief review of the basic processes involved. These have been used to calculate…
We present a three-dimensional, fully parallelized, efficient implementation of ionizing UV radiation for smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) including self-gravity. Our method is based on the SPH/tree code VINE. We therefore call it…
The reengineering process of large data-intensive legacy software applications to cloud platforms involves different interrelated activities. These activities are related to planning, architecture design, re-hosting/lift-shift, code…
We have modified the iterative procedure introduced by Lin et al. (2016), to systematically combine the submm images taken from ground based (e.g., CSO, JCMT, APEX) and space (e.g., Herschel, Planck) telescopes. We applied the updated…
Research into the processes of photoionised nebulae plays a significant part in our understanding of stellar evolution. It is extremely difficult to visually represent or model ionised nebula, requiring astronomers to employ sophisticated…
The interaction of a radiation field with a dusty medium is a relevant issue in several astrophysical contexts. We use the time-dependent photoionization code in a dusty medium developed by Perna & Lazzati (2002), to study the modifications…
A relationship is derived between differences in electric polarization between bands and the "shift vector" that controls part of a material's bulk photocurrent, then demonstrated in several models. Electric polarization has a quantized…
The concept of spatial coupling is among the most significant breakthroughs in coding theory over the past decade. The excellent waterfall and error floor performance of spatially coupled codes has positioned them as promising coding…
In this paper we report on the improvements implemented in the cosmological radiative transfer code CRASH. In particular we present a new multi-frequency algorithm for spectra sampling which makes use of colored photon packets: we discuss…
I discuss recent advances in the study of hydrogen reionization, focusing on progress that was achieved during the years 2010-2011. First, I discuss recent measurements of the progress of reionization. Next, I discuss recent observational…
Extended variants of the recently introduced spread unary coding are described. These schemes, in which the length of the code word is fixed, allow representation of approximately n^2 numbers for n bits, rather than the n numbers of the…
Single image deraining is an important and challenging task for some downstream artificial intelligence applications such as video surveillance and self-driving systems. Most of the existing deep-learning-based methods constrain the network…
Atomic and molecular data are required to conduct detailed calculations of microphysical processes performed by CLOUDY to predict the spectra of a theoretical model. One of the three databases CLOUDY currently utilizes is CHIANTI version…
We present ionization structures of IC 2003, a planetary nebula with [WR] central star, using a 1-D dusty photo-ionization code: "CLOUDY 17.03". The photo-ionization model is constrained by archival UV emission line fluxes,…
Our understanding of the nature of interstellar grains has evolved considerably over the past half century with the present author and Fred Hoyle being intimately involved at several key stages of progress. The currently fashionable…
I review the most recent evolutions of the QCD codes on new architectures, with a focus on the performances obtained by the different coding strategies as presented during the Lattice2017 conference.
The photoionization model of narrow-line regions (NLRs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) has been investigated for decades. Many published models are restricted to simple linear scaling abundance relations, dust-free assumption, uniform AGN…
Progress in determining the baryon spectrum using computer simulations of quarks and gluons in lattice QCD are summarized and some future plans are outlined.
