Over the Memory Wall, Into the Instruction Wall: The New Bottleneck in GPU Data Processing
Sven Hepkema, Bowen Wu, Christos Kozyrakis +2
Datacenter GPUs have seen an order-of-magnitude increase in memory bandwidth with the adoption of newer generations of HBM. Meanwhile, GPU database systems are gaining traction, ma…
Precise Measurements of Self-absorbed Rising Reverse Shock Emission from Gamma-ray Burst 221009A
Joe S. Bright, Lauren Rhodes, Wael Farah +18
The deaths of massive stars are sometimes accompanied by the launch of highly relativistic and collimated jets. If the jet is pointed towards Earth, we observe a "prompt" gamma-ray…
Thermal electrons in the radio afterglow of relativistic tidal disruption event ZTF22aaajecp/AT2022cmc
Lauren Rhodes, Ben Margalit, Joe S. Bright +11
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star travels too close to a supermassive black hole. In some cases, accretion of the disrupted material onto the black hole launches a…
The Accretion-Ejection Connection in the Black Hole X-ray Binary MAXI J1820070
Joe S. Bright, Rob Fender, David M. Russell +12
The black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820070 began its first recorded outburst in March 2018, and remained an active radio, X-ray, and optical source for over four years. Due to th…
Multi-Wavelength Analysis of AT 2023sva: a Luminous Orphan Afterglow With Evidence for a Structured Jet
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho +50
We present multi-wavelength analysis of ZTF23abelseb (AT 2023sva), an optically discovered fast-fading ( mag in days), luminous ( mag) an…
Rocking the BOAT: the ups and downs of the long-term radio light curve for GRB 221009A
L. Rhodes, A. J. van der Horst, J. S. Bright +24
We present radio observations of the long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 221009A which has become known to the community as the Brightest Of All Time or the BOAT. Our observations…
