Scheduling Instruction Effects For A Statically Pipelined Processor, F. Rasapour, G. Cook, G.-R. Uh
Scheduling Instruction Effects For A Statically Pipelined Processor, F. Rasapour, G. Cook, G.-R. Uh
Gang-Ryung Uh
Statically pipelined processors have a fully exposed datapath where all portions of the pipeline are directly controlled by effects within an instruction, which simplifies hardware and enables a new level of compiler optimizations. This paper describes an effect scheduling strategy to aggressively compact instructions, which has a critical impact on code size and performance. Unique scheduling challenges include more frequent name dependences and fewer renaming opportunities due to static pipeline (SP) registers being dedicated for specific operations. We also realized the SP in a hardware implementation language (VHDL) to evaluate the real energy benefits. Despite the compiler challenges, we achieve …

Electron Energy Dependent Charging Effects Of Multilayered Dielectric Materials, Gregory Wilson, Jr Dennison, Amberly Evans, Justin Dekany

Measurements of the charge distribution in electron-bombarded, thin-film, multilayer dielectric samples showed that charging of multilayered materials evolves with time and is highly dependent on incident energy; this is driven by electron penetration depth, electron emission and material conductivity. Based on the net surface potential’s dependence on beam current, electron range, electron emission and conductivity, measurements of the surface potential, displacement current and beam energy allow the charge distribution to be inferred. To take these measurements, a thin-film disordered SiO2 structure with a conductive middle layer was charged using 200 eV and 5 keV electron beams with regular 15 s …

Approximation Of Range In Materials As A Function Of Incident Electron Energy, Gregory Wilson, Jr Dennison
Gregory Wilson
A simple composite analytic expression has been developed to approximate the electron range in materials. The expression is applicable over more than six orders of magnitude in energy (<10 eV to >10 MeV) and range (10-9 m to 10-2 m), with uncertainty of ≤20% for most conducting, semiconducting and insulating materials. This is accomplished by fitting data from two standard NIST databases [ESTAR for the higher energy range and the electron IMFP (inelastic mean free path) for the lower energies]. In turn, these data have been fit with well-established semi-empirical models for range and IMFP that are related to standard materials properties …

Professor Darmawan Sutanto
Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems offering flexible, reliable, and fast acting power compensation are applicable to power systems to improve power system stabilities and to advance power qualities. The authors have summarized researches on SMES applications to power systems. Furthermore, various SMES applications to power systems have been described briefly and some crucial schematic diagrams and equations are given. In addition, this study presents valuable suggestions for future studies of SMES applications to power systems. Hence, this paper is helpful for co-researchers who want to know about the status of SMES applications to power systems.

The University of Wollongong (UoW) has received funding for the research and development of a 20 kJ high temperature superconducting magnetic energy storage device (HTS SMES). This SMES will be operated at 25 K in contrast to most existing HTS designs, which operate at 77K. This paper includes a literature review of the current technology for the configuration of the SMES coil and a summary of the work done at UoW to date. Solenoidal and toroidal coils designs are compared to determine which will provide the required level of energy stored for a minimum superconductor and device volume. The design …
