Interval simulation: raising the level of abstraction in architectural simulation Ghent University
Detailed architectural simulators suffer from a long development cycle and extremely long evaluation times. This longstanding problem is further exacerbated in the multi-core processor era. Existing solutions address the simulation problem by either sampling the simulated instruction stream or by mapping the simulation models on FPGAs; these approaches achieve substantial simulation speedups while simulating performance in a cycle-accurate ...
Accuracy-based Simulation Strategies for Plasma Edge Simulations for Nuclear Fusion Devices KU Leuven
Nuclear fusion has the potential to provide the world's energy needs with safe, sustainable and virtually limitless energy. A key challenge in the realization of magnetically confined nuclear fusion is the power exhaust in the so-called divertor region near the reactor walls, which has to withstand enormous power loads. To predict and analyze divertor performance, accurate plasma edge simulations are indispensable. State-of-the-art plasma edge ...
Natural Media Simulation and Art-Directable Simulations for Computer Animation KU Leuven
Computer graphics is a vast domain within computer sciences which encompasses simulation and visualization of physical effects like the behaviour of fluids, gasses and object interactions such as collisions and deformations. Such simulations are often defined by the underlying laws and equations of physics which leave little control over the outcome of these simulations. The focus of this dissertation is twofold: first of all the high-fidelity ...
Statistical simulations of 6T-SRAM cell ageing using a reliability aware simulation flow KU Leuven
© 2015 IEEE. This work present the last development of a statistical reliability aware simulation flow from transistors to circuits. A TCAD calibration methodology based on statistical measurement of a 60nm bulk MOSFET is presented. Statistical compact models of fresh and aged transistors are extracted form large ensembles of TCAD simulations results. Compact models representing intermediate stages of degradation, not captured in the TCAD ...
On CFD simulation of wind-induced airflow in narrow ventilated facade cavities: Coupled and decoupled simulations and modelling limitations KU Leuven
Heat and mass transfer modelling in building facades with ventilated cavities requires information on the cavity air change rates, which can be a complex function of the building and cavity geometry and the meteorological conditions. This paper applies Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) CFD to study wind-induced airflow in the narrow (23 mm) ventilated facade cavities of an isolated low-rise building. Both coupled and decoupled simulations ...
Recent advancements in medical simulation: patient-specific virtual reality simulation Ghent University
Patient-specific virtual reality simulation (PSVR) is a new technological advancement that allows practice of upcoming real operations and complements the established role of VR simulation as a generic training tool. This review describes current developments in PSVR and draws parallels with other high-stake industries, such as aviation, military, and sports. A review of the literature was performed using PubMed and Internet search engines to ...
Simulators and Simulations for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: An ECMO Scoping Review KU Leuven
High-volume extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) centers generally have better outcomes than (new) low-volume ECMO centers, most likely achieved by a suitable exposure to ECMO cases. To achieve a higher level of training, simulation-based training (SBT) offers an additional option for education and extended clinical skills. SBT could also help to improve the interdisciplinary team interactions. However, the level of ECMO simulators and/or ...
