Abstract: It is computer architecture of my design, of the RISC variety. It is an effort to achieve high code density, deterministic execution and a uniform base for diversity. The 16-bit instructions are now running on a FPGA board, with specifications for the 24 & 32-bit instructions written. The basic template is written and it is straightforward to add more instructions. That said, I would welcome help: do trade-off studies (resource utilization and performance) on each additional instruction. Assembler, compiler and other help is very much needed. As a sneak preview, the architecture supports four data sizes and four data types. Those interested can do experiments on: Different word sizes (16, 18, 24, 32, 36, 42 ...) Different data types (unsigned, two's complement, sign & magnitude, IEEE 754, POSIT, PT-floats, 16-bit fixed point logarithms ...) Different implementations (single cycle, pipelining, multiple issue, out-of-order … microarchitectures) BIO: Jim Brakefield became interested in computer architecture upon encountering the IBM 1620 and the CDC 1604 in his first semester of college. He went on to get degrees in Applied Math, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. His work experience was primarily real-time embedded software and circuit board design. As a second career he pursued FPGAs and VHDL. He has one patent and has given many talks on a variety of STEM topics.

IEEE Magnetics Society Seminar Location: NIST, Boulder, 325 Broadway, Building 2, Room 2-0113 Date and Time: Tuesday, February 25th, 2025 Refreshments provided at 10:00 AM Seminar starts at 10:30 AM Engineering quantum Hall magnets in topological moiré systems Prof. Dacen Waters Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Denver Strongly correlated and topological phases in condensed matter systems are at the cutting edge of fundamental physics studies, as well as being promising candidates for the next generation of technological capabilities like quantum computing. In recent years, a remarkable amount of progress has been made in creating and controlling such phases by introducing a small twist angle or lattice mismatch between two dimensional (2D) materials. These systems, called moiré systems, have facilitated the surprising discovery of strongly correlated phases where one might not expect them (e.g. superconductivity in “magic-angle” twisted bilayer graphene) or long-sought new physics (e.g. the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (FQAHE) in twisted MoTe2). However, much of the work in this rapidly developing field have focused on the case where the constituent 2D materials of the moiré system are monolayers, or at most bilayers. I will show that this restriction to one or two atomic layers is unnecessarily limiting. Surprising new phenomenology can be realized in graphitic moiré systems, where at least one component is three-layers or more. Most notably, we find that a new type of “moiré enabled” electron crystallization can occur that spontaneously breaks the moiré translational symmetry and has dissipationless edge modes, analogous to a topological version of a Wigner crystal. Our results suggest that these topological electron crystals 1) are at least somewhat common across multilayer graphene moiré systems, 2) can have uniquely tunable magnetization states, and 3) closely compete with the newly discovered FQAHE. Understanding this competition, as well as the novel phenomenology of the topological electron crystal phase, will be of fundamental interest in future studies of strongly correlated topological systems. Prof. Dacen Waters earned his bachelor’s degrees in physics and mechanical engineering from Arkansas Tech University. He then went on to get his PhD in physics at Carnegie Mellon University, under the supervision of Profs. Randy Feenstra and Ben Hunt. His PhD work focused on two-dimensional material and moiré systems using scanning tunneling microscopy. He then went on to be a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Matthew Yankowitz’s lab at the University of Washington, where he was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship through the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education. At the University of Washington, he utilized transport studies to investigate novel correlated and topological states in graphitic moiré systems. In Fall of 2024, he began as an Assistant Professor in the University of Denver Department of Physics and Astronomy.

The growing demand for immersive, interactive experiences has underscored the importance of 3D data in understanding our surroundings. Traditional methods for capturing 3D data are often complex and equipment-intensive. In contrast, my research aims to utilize unconstrained videos, such as those from augmented reality glasses, to effortlessly capture scenes and objects in their full 3D complexity. As a first step, I will describe a method to incorporate Epipolar Geometry priors in multi-view Transformer models to enable identifying objects across extreme pose variations. Next, I will discuss my work "Contrastive Lift" on 3D object segmentation using 2D pre-trained foundation models, following which I will talk about addressing the same problem using language.

Synopsis: ETS-Lindgren Team’s efforts in preparing a systems solution and understanding the practical application of ISO 11451-5, Annex G Reverberation Method with Closed-Loop Power Control. The presentation describes the system, process and recorded test results. There will be a live Reverberation System demonstration. Annex G uses a volumetric measured field to determine Emax. The Annex G’s volumetric includes the eight field probes with their orthogonal axis (X, Y and Z). Emax is the mean of all 24 maximum field components. The Target Power (PTarget) is scaled to the desired field (Edesired) using the formula shown previously. Further, the four standard deviations (X, Y, Z and Vector Composite) are calculated and recorded. If the standard deviation results are not compliant to the standard then the standard deviation non-compliance must be stated within the report.

Schedule 6:00 – Check-in, Chapter Business and Networking 6:30 – Dinner Served 7:00 – Presentation 8:00 – Adjourn Summary: Title: Influence for Engineers — What is influence, and why mastering it can drive success at any level Description: Engineers hate corporate politics--I know I did. Naturally, we're inclined to spend most of our time solving cool problems for interesting customers, and prefer not to dabble in what we perceive as "games" that are played at senior levels in the workplace. What if there was another way of looking at this? What if small changes could drastically improve your ability to communicate with senior management, build coalitions, secure resources for your team & projects, push for raises and promotions, and overall lead to a more useful dialogue in the workplace? Engineers and engineering leaders that master this skill can elevate their careers and their team's successes to a whole new level. We'll explore tactics to identify areas in which influence plays a vital role in positive outcomes—even in a technical environment—and strategies to increase your sphere of influence in your professional/personal life.

Cyber law specialist, Sarah Anderson, speaks on the legal actions developing around Artificial Intelligence. Speaker(s): Sarah, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/462497
In novel, beyond Von Neumann, computational approaches the use of magnons (or quanta of spin waves) is particularly promising due to the small intrinsic energies of individual magnons (μeV), the possibility of using phase, in addition to magnitude, as a state variable, and the possibility to control the magnon dispersion properties in a magnetic sample by varying the direction and magnitude of the bias magnetic field . However, the use of magnons in advanced and neuromorphic computing is severely limited by the existing linear methods of magnon excitation, which are based on current-driven inductive transducers which have poor energy efficiency due to Ohmic losses, and are unable to effectively excite ultra-short exchange-dominated magnons. Here we propose to use a resonator-like energy-efficient gate, based on the effect of voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) , as a new type of antenna for parametric excitation and reception of exchange-dominated magnons of a submicron wavelength, having a well-defined phase. When a pumping voltage V of a microwave frequency is applied to a resonator-like VCMA gate, the parametric excitation of two short-wavelength counter-propagating half-pumping-frequency magnons and will occur The magnetic anisotropy under the gate will be changed, causing partial reflections of the excited magnons at the both gate boundaries. The excited magnons, then, will have a well-defined phase, that is determined by the phase of the pumping voltage and by the reflection properties of the VCMA resonator. The wavenumber of the excited magnons could be large, and unrelated to the gate size, as it is determined only by the pumping frequency, and the magnon dispersion law . The same resonator-like VCMA gate can also act as a receiver of propagating short-wavelength magnons that will create a standing wave under the gate with double the magnon frequency. This standing wave of the frequency will be detected using a parametric confluence process opposite to the parametric splitting process (1) used for the excitation of magnons at the input VCMA gate. Our calculations show that the reflection of the excited magnons at the gate boundaries reduces the excitation threshold up to two times (in the case of full reflection ). The calculated excitation threshold for the VCMA gate is presented in Fig. 1. In our calculations we used geometric parameters that are typical for VCMA experiment made on Fe/MgO heterostructures (see e.g. : thickness of the Fe waveguide , thickness of dielectric layer , waveguide width , and the length of the pumping gate . Our preliminary numerical calculation performed for the simplified model of a voltage-biased VCMA gate (see Fig. 1) have demonstrated that the proposed method of parametric excitation and reception of ultra-short-wavelength magnons is realistic, and can be implemented in experiment to generate phase-modulated magnon signals of sub-micron wavelength with high energy efficiency in the GHz and sub-THz frequency ranges.

In this talk, the tradeoff between energy efficiency and spectral efficiency in multicell heterogeneous networks is investigated. Our objective is to maximize both energy efficiency and spectral efficiency of the network, while satisfying the minimum rate requirements of the users. We define our objective function as the weighted summation of energy efficiency and spectral efficiency functions. The fractional frequency reuse (FFR) scheme is employed to suppress intercell interference. We formulate the problem as cell-center boundary selection for FFR, frequency assignment to users, and power allocation. The optimal solution to this problem requires exhaustive search over all cell-center radii, frequency assignments, and power levels. We propose a three-stage algorithm and apply it consecutively until convergence. First, we select the cell-center radius for the FFR method. Second, we assign the frequency resources to users to satisfy their rate requirements and maximize the objective function. Third, we solve the power allocation subproblem by using the Levenberg-Marquardt method. Minimum rate requirements of users are also included in the solution by using dual decomposition techniques. Our numerical results show a Pareto-optimal solution for energy efficiency and spectral efficiency. We present energy efficiency, spectral efficiency, outage probability, and average transmit power results for different minimum rate constraints. Among other results, we show that, in a particular setting, 13% energy efficiency increase can be obtained in a multicell heterogeneous wireless network by sacrificing 7% spectral efficiency.

Join us every second Friday at 11AM CTS for an exciting series of technical presentation specifically designed for IEEE Young Professionals. This series will provide valuable insights into cutting-edge technologies, industry trends, and practical solutions to challenges faced in many sectors such as electrical, energy, electronics, etc.. Network with your peers, learn from subject matter experts, and learn something new outside of your career path! Powering the Future: The Architecture and Standards of Digital Substations Traditional power system protection and control architectures depend on hardwired connections between instrument transformers, power system apparatuses, and intelligent electronic devices. However, advancements in microprocessor-based relaying and network architecture have facilitated the development of digital protection systems. The IEC 61850 standard establishes a framework for managing protection and control systems via digital communication networks. This framework promotes flexible design, enhances interoperability between vendors, improves documentation, and reduces costs. This seminar will explore the components and benefits of digital protection systems as well as the industry’s response to these advancements.

Synopsis: In the world of software and product development, making artifacts customizable for different needs is crucial. The research community has made great strides with the Universal Variability Language (UVL), a tool that helps define and manage these customizations. However, while UVL is helpful, it doesn't cover everything. This talk introduces a new concept called the Generic REAlization Language (GREAL). GREAL aims to fill the gaps that UVL left behind, especially when it comes to applying customizations to the core parts of a product line. Key features of GREAL include: Openness: Easily adaptable to different industries and uses. Flexibility: Can handle various types of customizations. Declarativity: Simple and clear rules for customization. Reusability: Can be applied to multiple projects without starting from scratch. The speaker will show how GREAL works with different base languages like UML, Java, and documentation. The speaker will also discuss a successful large-scale deployment of GREAL for Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) at Airbus. Join us to explore how this new tool can make software and product customization more efficient and versatile. Speaker(s): Dr. Vishnu S.

Two Night Seminar Covering Partial Discharge Fundamentals: Abstract: On-line partial discharge monitoring has become a useful tool over the past 30 years to determine the condition of the electrical insulation in motor and generator stator windings rated 4 kV and above. With the installation of suitable PD sensors, the monitoring is done during normal operation of the motor or generator. Although PD testing cannot indicate the exact time of failure, by trending the results over time, PD monitoring can help to determine when stator winding maintenance is prudent, usually with at least 2 years of warning. The seminar will cover the following topics: • Stator winding insulation components • Insulation failure mechanisms • What is partial discharge • Methods to monitor PD on line • Basic interpretation. The seminar will be largely test-vendor agnostic. Co-sponsored by: Donald G.
