High-Performance Computing of Big Data for Turbulence and Combustion (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences #592)
by Sergio Pirozzoli Tapan K. SenguptaThis book provides state-of-art information on high-accuracy scientific computing and its future prospects, as applicable to the broad areas of fluid mechanics and combustion, and across all speed regimes. Beginning with the concepts of space-time discretization and dispersion relation in numerical computing, the foundations are laid for the efficient solution of the Navier-Stokes equations, with special reference to prominent approaches such as LES, DES and DNS. The basis of high-accuracy computing is rooted in the concept of stability, dispersion and phase errors, which require the comprehensive analysis of discrete computing by rigorously applying error dynamics. In this context, high-order finite-difference and finite-volume methods are presented. Naturally, the coverage also includes fundamental notions of high-performance computing and advanced concepts on parallel computing, including their implementation in prospective hexascale computers. Moreover, the book seeks to raise the bar beyond the pedagogical use of high-accuracy computing by addressing more complex physical scenarios, including turbulent combustion. Tools like proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), proper generalized decomposition (PGD), singular value decomposition (SVD), recursive POD, and high-order SVD in multi-parameter spaces are presented. Special attention is paid to bivariate and multivariate datasets in connection with various canonical flow and heat transfer cases. The book mainly addresses the needs of researchers and doctoral students in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and all applied disciplines including applied mathematics, offering these readers a unique resource.

High-Performance D/A-Converters
by Martin ClaraThis book deals with modeling and implementation of high performance, current-steering D/A-converters for digital transceivers in nanometer CMOS technology. In the first part, the fundamental performance limitations of current-steering DACs are discussed. Based on simplified models, closed-form expressions for a number of basic non-ideal effects are derived and tested. With the knowledge of basic performance limits, the converter and system architecture can be optimized in an early design phase, trading off circuit complexity, silicon area and power dissipation for static and dynamic performance. The second part describes four different current-steering DAC designs in standard 130 nm CMOS. The converters have a resolution in the range of 12-14 bits for an analog bandwidth between 2.2 MHz and 50 MHz and sampling rates from 100 MHz to 350 MHz. Dynamic-Element-Matching (DEM) and advanced dynamic current calibration techniques are employed to minimize the required silicon area.

The High Performance HMI Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide to Designing, Implementing and Maintaining Effective HMIs for Industrial Plant Operations
by Ian Nimmo Dana Oliver Bill Hollifield Kevyn Renner Eddie HabibiFor almost thirty years, industrial processes have been controlled by people looking at computer screens. The displays used should provide the operator with accurate information, as well as assist in both normal plant operation and the handling of abnormal situations. This goal is rarely achieved. In fact, poor Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) have been identified several times as contributing factors to major industrial accidents. Many of the paradigms commonly used in industrial display design yield far from optimum results.This goal is rarely achieved. In fact, poor Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) have been identified several times as contributing factors to major industrial accidents. Many of the paradigms commonly used in industrial display design yield far from optimum results. There has never been a comprehensive and detailed reference work covering the proper design of process control displays - until now. The High Performance HMI Handbook provides the background, the principles, and the detailed best practices for display design. The HMI is the tool by which modern processes are operated. Without proper HMI design, safe and profitable operations are much less likely. The High Performance HMI Handbook is highly relevant to any organization concerned with industrial operations, automation, safety, and reliability. The proper principles are now in one place and available to all.
