A soft-core processor is a hardware description language (HDL) model of a specific processor (CPU) that can be customized for a given application and synthesized for an FPGA target. The PicoBlaze is an 8 bit soft core processor, designed to efficiently map on available FPGA resources including block memories and distributed memories as well. The single PicoBlaze can implement simple designs lik...

Alchemical free energy calculations involving the removal or insertion of atoms into condensed phase systems generally make use of soft-core scaling of nonbonded interactions, designed to circumvent numerical instabilities that arise from weakly interacting "hard" atoms in close proximity. Current methods model soft-core atoms by introducing a nonlinear dependence between the shape of the inter...

-----------------------------------------------------------Abstract----------------------------------------------------In many case on chip systems are used to reduce the development cycles. Mostly IP (Intellectual property) cores are used for system development. In this paper, the IP core is designed with ALTERA NIOSII soft-core processors as the core and Cyclone III FPGA series as the digital...

The microbial community response to petroleum seepage was investigated in a whole round sediment core (16 cm length) collected nearby natural hydrocarbon seepage structures in the Caspian Sea, using a newly developed Sediment-Oil-Flow-Through (SOFT) system. Distinct redox zones established and migrated vertically in the core during the 190 days-long simulated petroleum seepage. Methanogenic pet...

Recent experiments on ultracold atomic alkali gases in a one-dimensional optical lattice have demonstrated the transition from a gas of soft-core bosons to a Tonks-Girardeau gas in the hard-core limit, where one-dimensional bosons behave like fermions in many respects. We have studied the underlying many-body physics through numerical simulations which accommodate both the soft-core and hard-co...

The rapid evolution of semiconductor technology over the past four decades has fueled the information age and an era of ubiquitous computing. Furthermore, the exponential increase in the number of transistors available in integrated circuits has drastically changed the field of electrical and computer engineering. Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools allow systems engineers to work at higher-level...

The kinetics of collapse and explosion transitions in microcanonical self-gravitating ensembles is analyzed. A system of point particles interacting via an attractive soft Coulomb potential and confined to a spherical container is considered. We observed that for 100-200 particles collapse takes 10(3) - 10(4) particle crossing times to complete; i.e., it is by two to three orders of magnitude s...
