Scalable techniques for extending lifetime reliability of manycore systems by Rathore, Vijeta

“…Extensive experiments are conducted to compare the proposed technique against two state-of-the-art aging-aware mapping methods, for 64-core and 256-core systems running applications from PARSEC and SPLASH-2 benchmark suites. When compared to existing methods, the proposed technique achieves up to a 3.6X extended system lifetime reliability, along with a 62% fewer failed cores at the end of ten years. …”

The PARSEC stellar models provide a good qualitative match to the NIRCam CMDs, though they are ∼0.05 mag too blue compared to M92 F090W − F150W data. …”

Fast Outflowing Warm Absorbers in Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxy PG 1001+054 Revealed by HST/COS Spectra by Xiao-Dan Fu, Junfeng Wang, Xiaoyu Xu, Zhi-Xiang Zhang

Mid-infrared sub-arcsecond spectroscopy of active galaxy nuclei by Roche, P

“…Several nearby active galaxies show evidence of resolved circumnuclear dusty structures with sizes of 10s of parsecs. The silicate absorption profile towards the most heavily obscured nuclei are narrower than those in the galaxies with tau((9.7 mu m)) &lt; 3, possibly reflecting larger average grain sizes in the latter resulting from destruction of the smallest grains by the AGN.…”

Silicate absorption in heavily obscured galaxy nuclei by Roche, P, Packham, C, Aitken, D, Mason, R

“…In NGC 5506, the depth of the silicate absorption increases from north to south across the nucleus, suggestive of a dusty structure on scales of tens of parsecs.
