Research on Optical Transmitter and Receiver Module Used for High-Speed Interconnection between CPU and Memory

With the development of the multicore processor, the bandwidth and capacity of the memory, rather than the memory area, are the key factors in server performance. At present, however, the new architectures, such as fully buffered DIMM (FBDIMM), hybrid memory cube (HMC), and high bandwidth memory (HBM), cannot be commercially applied in the server. Therefore, a new architecture for the server is proposed. CPU and memory are separated onto different boards, and optical interconnection is used for the communication between them. Each optical module corresponds to each dual inline memory module (DIMM) with 64 channels. Compared to the previous technology, not only can the architecture realize high-capacity and wide-bandwidth memory, it also can reduce power consumption and cost, and be compatible with the existing dynamic random access memory (DRAM). In this article, the proposed module with system-in-package (SiP) integration is demonstrated. In the optical module, the silicon photonic chip is included, which is a promising technology to be applied in the next-generation data exchanging centers. And due to the bandwidth–distance performance of the optical interconnection, SerDes chips are introduced to convert the 64-bit data at 800 Mbps from/to 4-channel data at 12.8 Gbps after/before they are transmitted though optical fiber. All the devices are packaged on cheap organic substrates. To ensure the performance of the whole system, several optimization efforts have been performed on the two modules. High-speed interconnection traces have been designed and simulated with electromagnetic simulation software. Steady-state thermal characteristics of the transceiver module have been evaluated by ANSYS APLD based on finite-element methodology (FEM). Heat sinks are placed at the hotspot area to ensure the reliability of all working chips. Finally, this transceiver system based on silicon photonics is measured, and the eye diagrams of data and clock signals are verified.     

Accelerating molecular dynamic simulation on the cell processor and Playstation 3

Implementation of molecular dynamics (MD) calculations on novel architectures will vastly increase its power to calculate the physical properties of complex systems. Herein, we detail algorithmic advances developed to accelerate MD simulations on the Cell processor, a commodity processor found in PlayStation 3 (PS3). In particular, we discuss issues regarding memory access versus computation and the types of calculations which are best suited for streaming processors such as the Cell, focusing on implicit solvation models. We conclude with a comparison of improved performance on the PS3's Cell processor over more traditional processors.

Sojourn time asymptotics in the M/G/1 processor sharing queue

We show for the M/G/1 processor sharing queue that the service time distribution is regularly varying of index -ν, ν non-integer, iff the sojourn time distribution is regularly varying of index -ν. This result is derived from a new expression for the Laplace–Stieltjes transform of the sojourn time distribution. That expression also leads to other new properties for the sojourn time distribution. We show how the moments of the sojourn time can be calculated recursively and prove that the kth moment of the sojourn time is finite iff the kth moment of the service time is finite. In addition, we give a short proof of a heavy traffic theorem for the sojourn time distribution, prove a heavy traffic theorem for the moments of the sojourn time, and study the properties of the heavy traffic limiting sojourn time distribution when the service time distribution is regularly varying. Explicit formulas and multiterm expansions are provided for the case that the service time has a Pareto distribution. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

岛津GC－16A型气相色谱仪因CRT显示器控制电路故障而导致主机死机，进而造成CR－7A型数据处理机无法与主机联机而死机。通过分析故障现象和电路结构，对主机部分电路进行改造，完全拆除主机上的CRT显示器控制电路，直接通过CR－7A型数据处理机控制主机，使主机不受CRT显示器控制电路的影响而稳定地工作。经改造后，气相色谱仪工作正常，不再出现死机现象。
