The demands of improving energy efficiency for high performance scientific applications arise crucially nowadays. Software-controlled hardware solutions directed by Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) have shown their effectiveness extensively. Although DVFS is beneficial to green computing, introducing DVFS itself can incur non-negligible overhead, if there exist a large number of frequency switches issued by DVFS. In this paper, we propose a strategy to achieve the optimal energy savings for distributed matrix multiplication via algorithmically trading more computation and communication at a time adaptively with user-specified memory costs for less DVFS switches, which saves 7.5% more energy on average than a classic strategy. Moreover, we leverage a high performance communication scheme for fully exploiting network bandwidth via pipeline broadcast. Overall, the integrated approach achieves substantial energy savings (up to 51.4%) and performance gain (28.6% on average) compared to ScaLAPACK pdgemm() on a cluster with an Ethernet switch, and outperforms ScaLAPACK and DPLASMA pdgemm() respectively by 33.3% and 32.7% on average on a cluster with an Infiniband switch

Massive Goldstone (Higgs) mode in two-dimensional ultracold atomic lattice systems

We discuss how to reveal the massive Goldstone mode, often referred to as the Higgs amplitude mode, near the superfluid-to-insulator quantum critical point (QCP) in a system of two-dimensional ultracold bosonic atoms in optical lattices. The spectral function of the amplitude response is obtained by analytic continuation of the kinetic energy correlation function calculated by Monte Carlo methods. Our results enable a direct comparison with the recent experiment [M. Endres, T. Fukuhara, D. Pekker, M. Cheneau, P. Schauß, C. Gross, E. Demler, S. Kuhr, and I. Bloch, Nature (London) 487, 454 (2012)] and demonstrate a good agreement for temperature shifts induced by lattice modulation. Based on our numerical analysis, we formulate the necessary conditions in terms of homogeneity, detuning from the QCP and temperature in order to reveal the massive Goldstone resonance peak in spectral functions experimentally. We also propose to apply a local modulation at the trap center to overcome the inhomogeneous broadening caused by the parabolic trap confinement

Evidences for interaction-induced Haldane fractional exclusion statistics in one and higher dimensions

Haldane fractional exclusion statistics (FES) has a long history of intense studies, but its realization in physical systems is rare. Here we study repulsively interacting Bose gases at and near a quantum critical point, and find evidences that such strongly correlated gases obey simple non-mutual FES over a wide range of interaction strengths in both one and two dimensions. Based on exact solutions in one dimension, quantum Monte Carlo simulations and experiments in both dimensions, we show that the thermodynamic properties of these interacting gases, including entropy per particle, density and pressure, are essentially equivalent to those of non-interacting particles with FES. Accordingly, we establish a simple interaction-to-FES mapping that reveals the statistical nature of particle-hole symmetry breaking induced by interaction in such quantum many-body systems. Whereas strongly interacting Bose gases reach full fermionization in one dimension, they exhibit incomplete fermionization in two dimensions. Our results open a route to understanding correlated interacting systems via non-interacting particles with FES in arbitrary dimensions.Comment: There are 4 figures in the main text as well as a supplemental materia

Semantic reconstruction of continuous language from MEG signals

Decoding language from neural signals holds considerable theoretical and practical importance. Previous research has indicated the feasibility of decoding text or speech from invasive neural signals. However, when using non-invasive neural signals, significant challenges are encountered due to their low quality. In this study, we proposed a data-driven approach for decoding semantic of language from Magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals recorded while subjects were listening to continuous speech. First, a multi-subject decoding model was trained using contrastive learning to reconstruct continuous word embeddings from MEG data. Subsequently, a beam search algorithm was adopted to generate text sequences based on the reconstructed word embeddings. Given a candidate sentence in the beam, a language model was used to predict the subsequent words. The word embeddings of the subsequent words were correlated with the reconstructed word embedding. These correlations were then used as a measure of the probability for the next word. The results showed that the proposed continuous word embedding model can effectively leverage both subject-specific and subject-shared information. Additionally, the decoded text exhibited significant similarity to the target text, with an average BERTScore of 0.816, a score comparable to that in the previous fMRI study

Grand Canonical Monte Carlo Simulations of Ethanol Conversion to Propylene Over Zeolite Catalysts

The transformation of ethanol to propylene (ETP) was investigated over H-ZSM-5 (40) and H-LEV (40) catalysts. For H-ZSM-5 (40), the propylene yield kept constant at about 20.0% during 8 h. For H-LEV (40), higher initial propylene yield reached 34.0%. However, there is almost no propylene obtained over H-LEV (40) catalyst after 2 h. H-ZSM-5 (40) catalyst exhibited higher stability than H-LEV (40). The lower stability of H-LEV (40) is probably due to coke deposition. The reactant and products adsorption performances in the ethanol conversion reaction over H-ZSM-5 (40) and H-LEV (40) catalysts were studied by Monte Carlo simulations. Results show that the higher adsorption amount of ethanol, ethylene and propylene in H-LEV (40) led to the more difficult desorption of products and higher content of coke deposition

An Enhanced Plane Wave Expansion Method to Solve Piezoelectric Phononic Crystal with Resonant Shunting Circuits

An enhanced plane wave expansion (PWE) method is proposed to solve piezoelectric phononic crystal (PPC) connected with resonant shunting circuits (PPC-C), which is named as PWE-PPC-C. The resonant shunting circuits can not only bring about the locally resonant (LR) band gap for the PPC-C but also conveniently tune frequency and bandwidth of band gaps through adjusting circuit parameters. However, thus far, more than one-dimensional PPC-C has been studied just by Finite Element method. Compared with other methods, the PWE has great advantages in solving more than one-dimensional PC as well as various lattice types. Nevertheless, the conventional PWE cannot accurately solve coupling between the structure and resonant shunting circuits of the PPC-C since only taking one-way coupling from displacements to electrical parameters into consideration. A two-dimensional PPC-C model of orthorhombic lattice is established to demonstrate the whole solving process of PWE-PPC-C. The PWE-PPC-C method is validated by Transfer Matrix method as well as Finite Element method. The dependence of band gaps on circuit parameters has been investigated in detail by PWE-PPC-C. Its advantage in solving various lattice types is further illustrated by calculating the PPC-C of triangular and hexagonal lattices, respectively
