    • Hyperparameter optimization using agents for large scale machine learning 

      Vergés Boncompte, Pere; Vlassov, Vladimir; Badia, Rosa M. (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Machine learning (ML) has become an essential tool for humans to get rational predictions in different aspects of their lives. Hyperparameter algorithms are a tool for creating better ML models. The hyperparameter algorithms ...
    • Investigating memory prefetcher performance over parallel applications: from real to simulated 

      Girelli, Valéria S.; Moreira, Francis B.; Serpa, Matheus S.; Santos, Danilo C.; Navaux, Philippe O. A. (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      In recent years, there have been significant advances in the performance of processors, exemplified by the reduction of transistor size and the increase in the number of cores in a processor. Conversely, the memory subsystem ...
    • Exploring the recent evolution of yeast pathogens using the CandidaMine database 

      Schikora-Tamarit, Miquel Àngel; Gabaldón#, Toni (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Advances in medicine (such as chemotherapy or transplants) have extended the life expectancy of patients at the cost of impairing their immune system. This has generated an increasing population of patients highly susceptible ...
    • JLOH: extracting loss of heterozygosity blocks from short-read sequencing data 

      Schiavinato, Matteo; del Olmo, Valentina; Gabaldón, Toni (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) happens when a heterozygous genome loses one of the two alleles at a locus. This may have an evolutionary advantage in highly unstable genomes such as those of hybrids (Smukowski Heil et al., ...
    • RosneT: a block tensor algebra library for out-of-core quantum computing simulation 

      Sanchez-Ramirez, Sergio; Conejero, Javier; Garcia-Saez, Artur (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      With recent Quantum Devices showing increasing capabilities to perform controlled operations, further development on Quantum Algorithms may benefit from Quantum Simulations on classical hardware. Among important applications ...
    • Space shuttle: a test vehicle for the reliability of the SkyWater 130nm PDK using OpenLane and the Google/E-fabless shuttle run for future space systems 

      Rodríguez Ferrández, Iván; Jover-Alvarez, Alvaro; Kosmidis, Leonidas; Steenari, David (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      The ASIC industry is experiencing a massive change in the recent years with more and more small and medium business entering the custom ASIC development. This trend is fueled by the recent open hardware movement and relevant ...
    • Non-reacting large eddy simulation of a low swirl burner 

      Rodrigues, Fredherico; Garíıa-Oliver, José Maria; Mira Martínez, Daniel (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Reduction of the emission of pollutants is one of the main concerns in the study of combustion today. Thermal NOx for example, is generated when high temperatures are achieved in the combustion process. The use of Lean ...
    • CSDownscale: an R package for statistical downscaling 

      Ramón, Jaume; Lledó, Llorenç; Palma, Lluís; Delgado-Torres, Carlos; Marcos, Raül (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Downscaling is any procedure to infer highresolution information from low-resolution variables. Many of these techniques have been defined and applied to climate predictions, which suffer from important biases due to the ...
    • Transcriptome analysis of differential gene expression in disease 

      Ramirez, Jose Miguel; García-Pérez, Raquel; Melé, Marta (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      Many diseases strongly impact the human transcriptome at the gene expression level [1]. However, previous work has focused on accessible tissues [2], and has not incorporated the effect of demographic traits, known risk ...
    • Experimental analysis on the NXP’s T2080 cache coherence: a step towards MPSoCs in critical systems 

      Pujol, Roger; Hassan, Mohamed; Cazorla Almeida, Francisco Javier (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      The adoption of complex MPSoCs in critical real-time embedded systems [1], [2] mandates a detailed analysis of their architecture to facilitate certification [3]. This analysis is hindered by the lack of a thorough ...
    • Development of corrections for the absolute free binding energy prediction 

      Puch-Giner, Ignasi; Municoy Terol, Martí; Guallar, Victor (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      The early stages of drug design rely on hit discovery programs, where initial possible inhibitors’ binding affinities are assessed when bound to their biological target. It is an expensive and time-consuming process, ...
    • HBM, present and future of HPC based on FPGAs 

      Perdomo Hourné, Elias A.; Cervero, Teresa; Martorell Bofill, Xavier (2022-05)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      In the past decades, advances in the speed of commodity CPUs have far out-paced advances in memory latency. Mainmemory access is therefore increasingly a performance bottleneck for many computer applications, including HPC ...
