The GigaBit Transceiver (GBT) and the low power GBT (lpGBT) link architecture and protocol have been developed by CERN for physical experiments in the Large Hadron Collider as a radiation-hard optical link between the detectors and the data processing FPGAs (https://gitlab.cern.ch/gbt-fpga/). This presentation shows the details of how to implement a large array of GBT/lpGBT links (up to 48 x...
The recent rapid development in the generative methods of artificial intelligence makes it more and more urgent to understand, what is the intelligence they manifest, what are the limits and where are the breakthrough points for a next generation AI. In the talk we examine, what is the relation of the present-day leading AI applications to human thinking, in particular the "fast" and "slow"...
Some applications of Monte Carlo simulation require the generation of a
large number of small grids of bits (e.g. tiles or boards of 32 by 32 bits) with a
given number of bits set to one, the rest is set to zero. Conventional sequential
algorithms generate them by randomly selecting empty sites until the given
number of set sites is reached, which is not an efficient solution. In this...
