A synthetic phase-contrast imaging diagnostic with spatial filtering for gyrokinetic simulations

Stefano Coda, Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball, Gabriele Merlo, Aylwin Iantchenko

A Phase-contrast imaging (PCI) diagnostic provides measurements of line-integrated electron density fluctuations. Localisation along the laser beam path can be achieved with a spatial filter that selects the wave-vector directions of the fluctuations contr ...

IIBLAST: Speeding Up Commercial FPGA Routing by Decoupling and Mitigating the Intra-CLB Bottleneck

Mirjana Stojilovic, Stefan Nikolic, Shashwat Shrivastava

We identified that in modern commercial FPGAs, routing signals from the general interconnect to the configurable logic blocks (CLBs) through a very sparse input interconnect block (IIB) represents a significant runtime bottleneck. This is despite academic ...
