No full textElastic-DF: Scaling Performance of DNN Inference in FPGA Clouds through Automatic Partitioning
No full textCustomized compute acceleration in the datacenter is key to the wider roll-out of applications based on deep neural network (DNN) inference. In this article, we investigate how to maximize the performance and scalability of field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based pipeline dataflow DNN inference accelerators (DFAs) automatically on computing infrastructures consisting of multi-die, network-connected FPGAs. We present Elastic-DF, a novel resource partitioning tool and associated FPGA runtime infrastructure that integrates with the DNN compiler FINN. Elastic-DF allocates FPGA resources to DNN layers and layers to individual FPGA dies to maximize the total performance of the multi-FPGA system. In the resulting Elastic-DF mapping, the accelerator may be instantiated multiple times, and each instance may be segmented across multiple FPGAs transparently, whereby the segments communicate peer-to-peer through 100 Gbps Ethernet FPGA infrastructure, without host involvement. When applied to ResNet-50, Elastic-DF provides a 44% latency decrease on Alveo U280. For MobileNetV1 on Alveo U200 and U280, Elastic-DF enables a 78% throughput increase, eliminating the performance difference between these cards and the larger Alveo U250. Elastic-DF also increases operating frequency in all our experiments, on average by over 20%. Elastic-DF therefore increases performance portability between different sizes of FPGA and increases the critical throughput per cost metric of datacenter inference.

Hydrodynamical turbulence by fractal fourier decimation
No full textWe present a systematic numerical investigation of high-resolution 3D isotropic and homogeneous turbulence resolved on a decimated set of Fourier modes. Fractal decimation acts to decrease the effective dimensionality of the flow by allowing triadic interactions only in a set of Fourier modes N(k) proportional to k^DF for large k. While keeping the symmetries of the original 3D Navier-Stokes equations unchanged, a dramatic change in small-scale statistics is detected at decreasing the fractal dimension DF . Already at fractal dimension DF = 2.8, a global self-similar behaviour is observed in the inertial range of scales, the consequence of such transition are the restoration of the scaling symmetry and vorticity distribution that becomes close to Gaussian. We relate the results to the different roles of local vs non-local interactions in the energy transfer range

DF AND HF LASER SPECTRA
No full textW. B. Roh and K. Narahari Rao, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 49, 317 (1974).""Author Institution: Department of Physics, The Ohio State University; Department of Electrical Engineering, The Ohio State UniversityA pulsed laser was used as a source to study DF and HF infrared laser spectra with a grating spectrometer. The rotational structure observed for the 1-0, 2-1, and 3-2 bands of DF, and the 1-0 and 2-1 bands of HF has been measured by following a procedure similar to that used for the CO laser Molecular constants derived by combining these laser measurements with other available data will be presented

Simulation of a surface-transverse wave (STW) biosensor for DF-1 cells
Full text linkA 250 MHz Surface-Transverse Wave (STW) resonator is employed as a sensor element for the
detection of DF-1 cells. STW belongs to the shear-horizontal acoustic plate modes (SH-APM) waves’
family where it has attracted plenty considerable interest. STWs are horizontally polarized shear waves
which are generated and detected by the interdigital transducers (IDTs) similar to surface-acoustic wave
(SAW) resonators [1]. Detection of chemical and biological agents in aqueous solutions is a difficult
problem, especially when the detection technique has to be sensitive, power-efficient and very handy.
Acoustic plate mode is a mode of vibration where particle motion is parallel to the surface. This makes it
possible to produce a sensitive sensor capable of operating in fluids [2]. This paper presents the biosensor
prototype utilizing STW resonator
Period changes of two contact binaries: DF Hya and WZ And
Full text link33rd International Physics Congress of the Turkish-Physical-Society (TPS) -- SEP 06-10, 2017 -- Bodrum, TURKEYOrbital period variations of two contact binaries DF Hya and WZ And are analyzed with the least-squares method by using all available minima times. It is shown that the period variations of these systems are due mainly to the LightTime Effect (LITE) due originates from gravitational influence of a third body. New LITE elements such as, orbital periods and minimum masses of possibility third bodies are given.Turkish Phys So
Dimethylthiourea Normalizes Velocity-Dependent, but Not Force-Dependent, Index of Ventricular Performance in Diabetic Rats: Role of Myosin Heavy Chain Isozyme

Dimethylthiourea normalizes velocity-dependent , but not force-dependent, index of ventricular performance in diabetic rats: role of myosin heavy chain isozyme. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 297: H1411-H1420, 2009. First published July 24, 2009; doi: 10.1152/ajpheart.01269.2008. Hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide are involved in the pathogenesis of systolic dysfunction in diabetic rats, but the precise mechanisms and the effect of antioxidant therapy in diabetic subjects have not been elucidated. We aimed to evaluate the effects of dimethylthiourea (DMTU), a potent hydroxyl radical scavenger, on both force-dependent and velocity- dependent indexes of cardiac contractility in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced early and chronic diabetic rats . Seventy-two hours and 8 wk after STZ ( 55 mg/kg) injection, diabetic rats were randomized to either DMTU (50 mg. kg(-1). day(-1) ip) or vehicle treatment for 6 and 12 wk, respectively. All rats were then subjected to invasive hemodynamic studies. Maximal systolic elastance (E-max) and maximum theoretical flow (Q(max)) were assessed by curve- fitting techniques in terms of the elastance-resistance model. Both normalized Emax (E-maxn) and afterload-adjusted Q(max) (Q( maxad)) were depressed in diabetic rats, concomitant with altered myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform composition and its upstream regulators, such as myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF-2) and heart autonomic nervous system and neural crest derivatives ( HAND). In chronic diabetic rats, DMTU markedly attenuated the impairment in Q(maxad) and normalized the expression of MEF -2 and eHAND and MHC isoform composition but exerted an insignificant benefit on E-maxn. Regarding preventive treatment, DMTU significantly ameliorated both E-maxn and Q(maxad) in early diabetic rats. In conclusion , our study shows that DMTU has disparate effects on Q(maxad) and E-maxn in chronic diabetic rats. The advantage of DMTU in chronic diabetic rats might involve normalization of MEF-2 and eHAND, as well as reversal of MHC isoform switch
