Logic in Memory Emulator

Logic in Memory Emulator (LiME) is a hardware/software tool specially designed for memory system evaluation and experiment. Emerging memories display a wide range of bandwidths, latencies, and capacities, making it challenging for the computer architect to navigate the design space of potential memory configurations, and for the application developer to assess performance implications of using such memories. With the LiME framework, architectural ideas can be prototyped in great detail yet with sufficient performance to support realistic evaluation on long running applications. LiME consists of two fundamental components: 1) the hardware and OS infrastructure for the emulator, and 2) a suite of benchmark applications to assist in characterizing the performance of current and future computer architectures. Some of the applications have been collected from other open source projects. Uses: Logging, replay and analysis of an application's memory behavior Evaluate impact of emerging memory technology on application performance. Emulate complex memory interactions in whole applications orders of magnitude faster than software simulation. Emulate acceleration hardware co-located with the memory subsystem. Features: Capture and log external memory accesses to a separate off-chip memory device without affecting application execution. Memory traces include the address, length, timestamp, and optionally the data for each transaction. Captured trace data can be saved to an SD card for off-line analysis. Configure a wide range of memory latencies in sub-nanosecond increments that encompass highbandwidth and storage class memories. Specify regions of interest (ROI) in applications to reduce the amount of trace data captured for analysis. Currently supports execution on Xilinx Zynq SoC which integrates an ARM processor with FPGA logic on a single device. Applications can be run under Linux or in bare metal mode on the ARM cores.

High-Precision Nd Isotopes in Picrites from Hawaii and Iceland - No Evidence for an Early-Formed Enriched Reservoir

New high-precision Nd isotope measurements have shown that the present-day Nd-142/Nd-144 for average chondrites is approximately 20 ppm lower than that for the terrestrial standard and all recent mantle-derived samples measured to date. One explanation for these differences is that an enriched missing reservoir with lower Nd-142/Nd-144 resides in the mantle to balance the bulk Earth to chondritic. Data from Archean Greenland rocks show anomalies in Nd-142/Nd-144 of up to 40 ppm higher than the proposed average for chondrites. This difference between the Archean Greenland rocks and present-day mantle-derived samples has been interpreted to result from remixing of an early-formed enriched reservoir into the convecting mantle during the Archean. If so, the implication from this is that remixing of the enriched reservoir largely shut down some time in the past such that it must at present reside in a region in the mantle that infrequently participates dynamically and leading to volcanism at the surface. Several studies have suggested that the missing reservoir may be present just above the coremantle boundary (CMB). Depending on the size of this reservoir it could potentially make up all of D or exist as distinct domains within it. If such a reservoir does exist, then mantle-derived samples from plume systems that are thought to come from the CMB may be the best opportunity to identify this component using high-precision Nd isotope measurements. To test this, picrites from Hawaii with coupled enrichments in Os-186-Os-187 that has been proposed to be a signature of core-mantle interaction were measured on the JSC Triton for high-precision Nd-142/Nd-144. For comparison, picrites from Hawaii and Iceland that do not show coupled enrichments in Os-186-Os-187 were measured. We have established an external precision for Nd-142/Nd-144 of 3.6 ppm (2 sigma) during the analytical campaign. The Iceland (n=5) and Hawaiian data (n=9) have Nd-142 ranging from -0.01 plus or minus 0.03 to +0.03 plus or minus 0.03 (2 sigma) and there is no resolvable difference between samples with Os isotope enrichments versus those without. The average epsilon Nd-142 of +0.011 plus or minus 0.034 (2 sigma ) for all of the samples (n=14) is not resolvable from the Ames and La Jolla standards with epsilon Nd-142 of +0.000 plus or minus 0.036 (n=16, 2 sigma). These data confirm recent measurements on lavas for the absence of an ancient enriched Nd-142 isotopic signature in plume systems likely derived from D and indicates that such a reservoir, if existing, must now reside in areas of the deep mantle that plumes do not sample.

In the fourth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+ and two equivalent Os+5.50+ atoms. In the fifth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a 2-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K1+ and two Os+5.50+ atoms. In the sixth O2- site, O2- is bonded in a distorted bent 150 degrees geometry to one K1+ and two Os+5.50+ atoms.
