Analyzing at-scale distribution grid response to extreme temperatures

Evolvable Hardware System at Extreme Low Temperatures

This paper describes circuit evolutionary experiments at extreme low temperatures, including the test of all system components at this extreme environment (EE). In addition to hardening-by-process and hardeningby-design, “hardening-by-reconfiguration ”, when applicable, could be used to mitigate drijts, degradation, or damage on electronic devices (chips) in EE, by using re-con$gurable devices ...

Program Behavior at Extreme Scale

Extreme temperatures and violence

In his book Civilization and Climate, Ellsworth Huntington (1876–1947) noted1 that “Almost any American or European who has travelled or resided within the tropics will confess that he has occasionally flown into a passion, and perhaps used physical violence, under circumstances which at home would merely have made him vexed.” This begs the question — why is there no violent conflict when sever...

Synthesis and microdiffraction at extreme pressures and temperatures.

High pressure compounds and polymorphs are investigated for a broad range of purposes such as determine structures and processes of deep planetary interiors, design materials with novel properties, understand the mechanical behavior of materials exposed to very high stresses as in explosions or impacts. Synthesis and structural analysis of materials at extreme conditions of pressure and tempera...

Functional Recovery of Analog Circuits at Extreme Temperatures

This paper describes a new reconfigurable analog array (RAA) architecture and integrated circuit (IC) used to map analog circuits that can adapt to extreme temperatures under programmable control. Algorithmdriven adaptation takes place on the RAA IC. The algorithms are implemented in a separate Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC, co-located with the RAA in the extreme temperature environme...
