Assessing performance constraints in penguins with externally-attached devices

Assessing Probabilistic Timing Constraints on System Performance

We propose an algorithm for assessing probabilistic timing constraints for systems including components with uncertain delays. We make a case for designing systems based on a probabilistic relaxation of such constraints, as this has the potential for resulting in lower silicon area and/or power consumption. We consider a concrete example, an MPEG decoder, for which we discuss modeling and asses...

Network Attached Devices at Sns*

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) diagnostic instruments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are based on the Network Attached Device (NAD) concept. Each pickup or sensor has its own resources, such as networking, timing, data acquisition, and processing. NADs function independently thus reducing the brittleness inherent in tightly coupled systems. This paper describes our implementation of the ...

Electroweak Penguins and Constraints on Γ

Electroweak penguin (EWP) amplitudes are studied model-independently in B meson decays to charmless final states consisting of a vector meson (V ) and a pseudoscalar meson (P ). A set of SU(3) relations is derived between EWP contributions and tree amplitudes, in the approximation of retaining only the dominant EWP operators Q9 and Q10. Two applications are described for constraining the weak p...
