FPGA Implementation of a Parameterized Fourier Synthesizer
International audienceField-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offers advantages for many applications, particularly where missions are complex and time performance is critical. For small-production digital acoustic synthesizers, FPGA can achieve the above-mentioned tighter system requirements with low total system costs on single chip. In this manuscript, a real-time acoustic synthesizer is implemented using Fourier series algorithm on Altera's Cyclone II FPGA chip. This work emphasizes systematic designs and parallel computations. The proposed system includes a ïŹexible processor and a parallel parameterized acoustic module. On one hand, the Nios II embedded processor, which is relatively low-speed component, is used to generate commands and conïŹgure high-speed acoustic module parameters. On the other hand, acoustic module which should require high-speed components contains 4 parallel architectures to gain high-speed simultaneous calculus of 4 independent digital timbres. Every timbre is equivalent to 16 parallel high-precision harmonic channels with 0.3 % frequency error. Experimental results corroborate the fact that a single FPGA chip can achieve complex missions and attain real-time performances
Two-dimensional array of magnetic particles: The role of an interaction cutoff
Based on theoretical results and simulations, in two-dimensional arrangements
of a dense dipolar particle system, there are two relevant local dipole
arrangements: (1) a ferromagnetic state with dipoles organized in a triangular
lattice, and (2) an anti-ferromagnetic state with dipoles organized in a square
lattice. In order to accelerate simulation algorithms we search for the
possibility of cutting off the interaction potential. Simulations on a dipolar
two-line system lead to the observation that the ferromagnetic state is much
more sensitive to the interaction cutoff than the corresponding
anti-ferromagnetic state. For (measured in particle diameters)
there is no substantial change in the energetical balance of the ferromagnetic
and anti-ferromagnetic state and the ferromagnetic state slightly dominates
over the anti-ferromagnetic state, while the situation is changed rapidly for
lower interaction cutoff values, leading to the disappearance of the
ferromagnetic ground state. We studied the effect of bending ferromagnetic and
anti-ferromagnetic two-line systems and we observed that the cutoff has a major
impact on the energetical balance of the ferromagnetic and anti-ferromagnetic
state for . Based on our results we argue that is a
reasonable choice for dipole-dipole interaction cutoff in two-dimensional
dipolar hard sphere systems, if one is interested in local ordering.Comment: 8 page
Analysis of and with QCD sum rules
In this article, we calculate the masses and residues of the heavy baryons
and with spin-parity with the QCD
sum rules. The numerical values are compatible with experimental data and other
theoretical estimations.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figures, slight versio
Comparing the reliability of networks by spectral analysis
We provide a method for the ranking of the reliability of two networks with
the same connectance. Our method is based on the Cheeger constant linking the
topological property of a network with its spectrum. We first analyze a set of
twisted rings with the same connectance and degree distribution, and obtain the
ranking of their reliability using their eigenvalue gaps. The results are
generalized to general networks using the method of rewiring. The success of
our ranking method is verified numerically for the IEEE57, the
Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi, and the Small-World networks.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
