A high-performance main-memory query engine on emerging many-core processors by Cheng, Xuntao

“…Firstly, we revisit the state-of-the-art hash join algorithms and software optimizations experimentally on the many-core processor with die-stacked HBMs. We find that although many findings on database algorithms from existing studies are still valid on the latest many-core architecture, there are major performance issues that existing optimizations are insufficient to address. …”

Unveiling solvation dynamics of excited and ground states via ultrafast pump–dump–probe spectroscopy by Guo, Yuanyuan, Feng, Minjun, Kuang, Zhuoran, Abeywickrama, Chathura S., Pang, Yi, Xia, Andong

“…It is found that GSIs undergo slower reorganization than the PICT formation in the excited state of EPP due to the solvation effect with different dipole moments of ground states and excited states. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the full photocycle dynamics of both the ground and excited states, shedding light on the presence of hidden ground state behaviors.…”
