An Evaluation of the X10 Programming Language
As predicted by Moore\u27s law, the number of transistors on a chip has been doubled approximately every two years. As miraculous as it sounds, for many years, the extra transistors have massively benefited the whole computer industry, by using the extra transistors to increase CPU clock speed, thus boosting performance. However, due to heat wall and power constraints, the clock speed cannot be increased limitlessly. Hardware vendors now have to take another path other than increasing clock speed, which is to utilize the transistors to increase the number of processor cores on each chip. This hardware structural change presents inevitable challenges to software structure, where single thread targeted software will not benefit from newer chips or may even suffer from lower clock speed. The two fundamental challenges are: 1. How to deal with the stagnation of single core clock speed and cache memory. 2. How to utilize the additional power generated from more cores on a chip. Most software programming languages nowadays have distributed computing support, such as C and Java [1]. Meanwhile, some new programming languages were invented from scratch just to take advantage of the more distributed hardware structures. The X10 Programming Language is one of them. The goal of this project is to evaluate X10 in terms of performance, programmability and tool support
Top quark decays with flavor violation in the B-LSSM
The decays of top quark are extremely rare processes in the
standard model (SM). The predictions on the corresponding branching ratios in
the SM are too small to be detected in the future, hence any measurable signal
for the processes at the LHC is a smoking gun for new physics. In the extension
of minimal supersymmetric standard model with an additional local
gauge symmetry (B-LSSM), new gauge interaction and new flavor changing
interaction affect the theoretical evaluations on corresponding branching
ratios of those processes. In this work, we analyze those processes in the
B-LSSM, under a minimal flavor violating assumption for the soft breaking
terms. Considering the constraints from updated experimental data, the
numerical results imply ,
, and in our
chosen parameter space. Simultaneously, new gauge coupling constants
in the B-LSSM can also affect the numerical results of
