Efficient resources assignment schemes for clustered multithreaded processors

New feature sizes provide larger number of transistors per chip that architects could use in order to further exploit instruction level parallelism. However, these technologies bring also new challenges that complicate conventional monolithic processor designs. On the one hand, exploiting instruction level parallelism is leading us to diminishing returns and therefore exploiting other sources of parallelism like thread level parallelism is needed in order to keep raising performance with a reasonable hardware complexity. On the other hand, clustering architectures have been widely studied in order to reduce the inherent complexity of current monolithic processors. This paper studies the synergies and trade-offs between two concepts, clustering and simultaneous multithreading (SMT), in order to understand the reasons why conventional SMT resource assignment schemes are not so effective in clustered processors. These trade-offs are used to propose a novel resource assignment scheme that gets and average speed up of 17.6% versus Icount improving fairness in 24%.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Trophic Ecology during the Ontogenetic Development of the Pelagic Thresher Shark Alopias pelagicus in Baja California Sur, Mexico

The trophic ecology of the Pelagic Thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus) was evaluated based on chemical ecology using stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) in the vertebrae and muscles. Individuals were caught between August 2013 and October 2019 on both the coasts of Baja California Sur, Mexico. In Bahía Tortugas, the mean vertebrae (n = 35) values were 12.72 ± 1.06‰ (δ15N) and −14.79 ± 0.61‰ (δ13C), while in muscles (n = 32) these values were 16.63 ± 0.76‰ (δ15N) and −17.18 ± 0.39‰ (δ13C). In Santa Rosalía, the mean vertebrae (n = 125) isotopic values were 14.4 ± 1.59‰ (δ15N) and −14.18 ± 0.51‰ (δ13C), while in muscles (n = 43), these values were 18.08 ± 0.96‰ (δ15N) and −16.43 ± 0.34‰ (δ13C). These results show higher δ15N values in Santa Rosalía as an effect of baseline isotopic differences between the two regions, whereas the δ13C values were lower in Bahía Tortugas, suggesting offshore ecological behavior (p 0.05), suggesting a high overlap between their isotopic niches. Therefore, Alopias pelagicus uses the same ecological niche throughout its life, and there is consistency between sexes. The mean trophic position for both tissues and regions was 4.5, which corresponds to a tertiary predator, without any differences between stages or sex. Due to their higher energetic needs, juveniles and females showed the greatest isotopic niche amplitude; thus, their ecological niche is the widest.Instituto Politécnico Nacional, Project SIP-IPN 2022057

On the existence and uniqueness in phase-lag thermoelasticity

This paper is devoted to analyze the phaselag thermoelasticity problem. We study two different cases and we prove, for each one of them, that the solutions of the problem are determined by a quasicontractive semigroup. As a consequence, existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence of the solutions are obtainedPeer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Exponential stability in three-dimensional type III thermo-porous-elasticity with microtemperatures

We study the time decay of the solutions for the type III thermoelastic theory with microtemperatures and voids. We prove that, under suitable conditions for the constitutive tensors, the solutions decay exponentially. This fact is in somehow striking because it differs from the behaviour of the solutions in the classical model of thermoelasticity with microtemperatures and voids, where the exponential decay is not expected in the general case.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Decay of quasi-static porous-thermo-elastic waves

We study the behavior in time of the solutions to several systems of equations for porous-thermo-elastic problems when one of the variables is considered to be quasi-static or, in other words, whose second time derivative can be neglected. We analyze three different situations using the classical Fourier law and also the type II or type III Green–Naghdi heat conduction modelsPeer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
