Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been the most significant driver in the field of nucleic acid testing (NAT) since its invention. Popularized as an abbreviation by the Covid-19 pandemic, PCR-based methods are the gold standard in the field of diagnostic ...
Directive-based programming models, such as OpenMP, OpenACC, and OmpSs, enable users to accelerate applications by using coprocessors with little effort. These devices offer significant computing power, but their use can introduce two problems: an increase ...
Optical-frequency synthesizers, which generate frequency-stable light from a single microwave-frequency reference, are revolutionizing ultrafast science and metrology, but their size, power requirement and cost need to be reduced if they are to be more wid ...
Drawing from a fieldwork conducted at COMPUTEX Taipei, one of the largest computer expo in the world, this contribution proposes to zoom-in at the level of Graphical Processing Units (GPU) manufacturers and their interactions with computer hardware hobbyis ...
In the conventional von Neumann (VN) architecture, data—both operands and operations to be performed on those operands—makes its way from memory to a dedicated central processor. With the end of Dennard scaling and the resulting slowdown in Moore’s law, th ...
A 90GS/s 8b low-power ADC is presented achieving 33.0-36.0dB SNDR and a FoM of 203fJ/conversion-step. High conversion speed of up to 100GS/s and high input bandwidth of 22GHz is achieved by using a 1:64 interleaver with integrated sampling. Single NMOS tra ...
Fine-grain data parallelism is increasingly common in mainstream processors in the form of long vectors and on-chip GPUs. This paper develops compiler and runtime support to exploit such data parallelism for non-numeric, non-graphic, irregular parallel tas ...
Minimally invasive monitoring of the electrical activity of specific cortical areas using implantable microsystems offers the promise of diagnosing neurological diseases, as well as detecting and identifying neural activity patterns which are specific to a ...
