In this paper, we present an accelerator that is designed to improve performance of network processing applications, particularly layer seven networking applications. The accelerator can easily be integrated in Network Processors. We present the design details of two different FPGA implementations: a design where each task is implemented in the accelerator and another one where the accelerator ...

This paper introduces Accelerator Toolbox (AT) a collection of tools to model storage rings and beam transport lines in the MATLAB environment. The objective is to illustrate the flexibility and efficiency of the AT–MATLAB framework. The paper discusses three examples of problems that are analyzed frequently in connection with ring-based synchrotron light sources. 1 BACKGROUND AT is being devel...

Welcome to this special issue on accelerator virtualization in Concurrency and Computation: Practice Experience. Virtualization is a key technique developed for sharing the underlying physical resources of computer, such as processor or memory network. This enables effective use by improving their utilization reduces costs. A well-known example are virtual machines that have become prominent wi...

Introduction In this study, we aimed to assess the medium-term energy stability of a 6MV Elekta CompactTM linear accelerator. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published article to evaluate this linear accelerator in terms of energy stability. As well as investigating the stability of the linear accelerator energy over a period of several weeks, the results will be useful for esti...
