Proposal for sequential Stern-Gerlach experiment with programmable quantum processors

The historical significance of the Stern–Gerlach(SG)experiment lies in its provision of the initial evidence for space quantization.Over time,its sequential form has evolved into an elegant paradigm that effectively illustrates the fundamental principles of quantum theory.To date,the practical implementation of the sequential SG experiment has not been fully achieved.In this study,we demonstrate the capability of programmable quantum processors to simulate the sequential SG experiment.The specific parametric shallow quantum circuits,which are suitable for the limitations of current noisy quantum hardware,are given to replicate the functionality of SG devices with the ability to perform measurements in different directions.Surprisingly,it has been demonstrated that Wigner’s SG interferometer can be readily implemented in our sequential quantum circuit.With the utilization of the identical circuits,it is also feasible to implement Wheeler’s delayed-choice experiment.We propose the utilization of cross-shaped programmable quantum processors to showcase sequential experiments,and the simulation results demonstrate a strong alignment with theoretical predictions.With the rapid advancement of cloud-based quantum computing,such as BAQIS Quafu,it is our belief that the proposed solution is well-suited for deployment on the cloud,allowing for public accessibility.Our findings not only expand the potential applications of quantum computers,but also contribute to a deeper comprehension of the fundamental principles underlying quantum theory.

Efficient cache replacement framework based on access hotness for spacecraft processors

A notable portion of cachelines in real-world workloads exhibits inner non-uniform access behaviors.However,modern cache management rarely considers this fine-grained feature,which impacts the effective cache capacity of contemporary high-performance spacecraft processors.To harness these non-uniform access behaviors,an efficient cache replacement framework featuring an auxiliary cache specifically designed to retain evicted hot data was proposed.This framework reconstructs the cache replacement policy,facilitating data migration between the main cache and the auxiliary cache.Unlike traditional cacheline-granularity policies,the approach excels at identifying and evicting infrequently used data,thereby optimizing cache utilization.The evaluation shows impressive performance improvement,especially on workloads with irregular access patterns.Benefiting from fine granularity,the proposal achieves superior storage efficiency compared with commonly used cache management schemes,providing a potential optimization opportunity for modern resource-constrained processors,such as spacecraft processors.Furthermore,the framework complements existing modern cache replacement policies and can be seamlessly integrated with minimal modifications,enhancing their overall efficacy.

Multi-core optimization for conjugate gradient benchmark on heterogeneous processors

Developing parallel applications on heterogeneous processors is facing the challenges of 'memory wall',due to limited capacity of local storage,limited bandwidth and long latency for memory access. Aiming at this problem,a parallelization approach was proposed with six memory optimization schemes for CG,four schemes of them aiming at all kinds of sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SPMV) operation. Conducted on IBM QS20,the parallelization approach can reach up to 21 and 133 times speedups with size A and B,respectively,compared with single power processor element. Finally,the conclusion is drawn that the peak bandwidth of memory access on Cell BE can be obtained in SPMV,simple computation is more efficient on heterogeneous processors and loop-unrolling can hide local storage access latency while executing scalar operation on SIMD cores.

Energy Efficient Hyperparameter Tuned Deep Neural Network to Improve Accuracy of Near-Threshold Processor

When it comes to decreasing margins and increasing energy effi-ciency in near-threshold and sub-threshold processors,timing error resilience may be viewed as a potentially lucrative alternative to examine.On the other hand,the currently employed approaches have certain restrictions,including high levels of design complexity,severe time constraints on error consolidation and propagation,and uncontaminated architectural registers(ARs).The design of near-threshold circuits,often known as NT circuits,is becoming the approach of choice for the construction of energy-efficient digital circuits.As a result of the exponentially decreased driving current,there was a reduction in performance,which was one of the downsides.Numerous studies have advised the use of NT techniques to chip multiprocessors as a means to preserve outstanding energy efficiency while minimising performance loss.Over the past several years,there has been a clear growth in interest in the development of artificial intelligence hardware with low energy consumption(AI).This has resulted in both large corporations and start-ups producing items that compete on the basis of varying degrees of performance and energy use.This technology’s ultimate goal was to provide levels of efficiency and performance that could not be achieved with graphics processing units or general-purpose CPUs.To achieve this objective,the technology was created to integrate several processing units into a single chip.To accomplish this purpose,the hardware was designed with a number of unique properties.In this study,an Energy Effi-cient Hyperparameter Tuned Deep Neural Network(EEHPT-DNN)model for Variation-Tolerant Near-Threshold Processor was developed.In order to improve the energy efficiency of artificial intelligence(AI),the EEHPT-DNN model employs several AI techniques.The notion focuses mostly on the repercussions of embedded technologies positioned at the network’s edge.The presented model employs a deep stacked sparse autoencoder(DSSAE)model with the objective of creating a variation-tolerant NT processor.The time-consuming method of modifying hyperparameters through trial and error is substituted with the marine predators optimization algorithm(MPO).This method is utilised to modify the hyperparameters associated with the DSSAE model.To validate that the proposed EEHPT-DNN model has a higher degree of functionality,a full simulation study is conducted,and the results are analysed from a variety of perspectives.This was completed so that the enhanced performance could be evaluated and analysed.According to the results of the study that compared numerous DL models,the EEHPT-DNN model performed significantly better than the other models.

Shared Cache Based on Content Addressable Memory in a Multi-Core Architecture

Modern shared-memory multi-core processors typically have shared Level 2(L2)or Level 3(L3)caches.Cache bottlenecks and replacement strategies are the main problems of such architectures,where multiple cores try to access the shared cache simultaneously.The main problem in improving memory performance is the shared cache architecture and cache replacement.This paper documents the implementation of a Dual-Port Content Addressable Memory(DPCAM)and a modified Near-Far Access Replacement Algorithm(NFRA),which was previously proposed as a shared L2 cache layer in a multi-core processor.Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation(SPEC)Central Processing Unit(CPU)2006 benchmark workloads are used to evaluate the benefit of the shared L2 cache layer.Results show improved performance of the multicore processor’s DPCAM and NFRA algorithms,corresponding to a higher number of concurrent accesses to shared memory.The new architecture significantly increases system throughput and records performance improvements of up to 8.7%on various types of SPEC 2006 benchmarks.The miss rate is also improved by about 13%,with some exceptions in the sphinx3 and bzip2 benchmarks.These results could open a new window for solving the long-standing problems with shared cache in multi-core processors.

基于RISC-V的超标量处理器的ROB压缩方法

RISC-V指令集具有灵活可扩展的优势,向量扩展是其扩展指令集之一。在实现向量扩展时需要将向量指令拆分成多条微指令,如果每条微指令都占用一项重排序缓存(ROB),会存在一定的信息冗余,并且会减少CPU中并行执行的指令(in-flight指令)数量,影响处理器性能。基于指令与微指令在ROB中的存储解耦方法,使用一个新的队列(RAB)存储每条微指令的目的寄存器的重命名映射关系等信息,每项ROB只存储其对应指令拆分的微指令的公共信息,ROB与RAB分别控制指令与微指令的提交与回滚,减少了存储信息冗余,缓解了由向量指令拆分的微指令过多导致的in-flight指令数量减少问题。在上述方法的基础上,同时实现了标量指令的ROB压缩,在ROB项数不变的情况下,增加了in-flight指令的最大数量。最终的仿真结果表明,此方法有效提高了处理器性能。
