Chiplet-based processor design, which combines small dies called chiplets to form a larger chip, enables scalable designs at economical costs. This trend has received high attention such that standards for chiplet design have rapidly established, including packaging, protocols, and Chiplet-to-Chiplet (C2C) interfaces. [...]

Contemporary architecture and new structural materials challenge the classical premise of fire safety: compartmentalisation. The historical classification between Regime I and Regime II is no longer sufficient to analyse the new fire behaviours we are encountering. [...]

Three different room corner experiments (RCE) with 6mm thick poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) panels were carried out in this study. The set-up is located under an exhaust hood and is closed to three sides with brick walls so that air is only entrained via one side. [...]

The heat release rate (HRR) of a burning solid material depends on the interaction of several physical phenomena, such as the decomposition of the condensed phase, the exothermic combustion reaction in the gas phase, and the transfer of heat back to the material surface. While the fire safety community has made significant progress in quantifying material and reaction properties in recent years, it is still the focus of on going research in the community. [...]

This study presents an experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread over a horizontally oriented slab of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Small-scale experiments were conducted under controlled boundary conditions, and measurements of rate of spread (ROS) and surface temperatures were used to validate predictions from the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), a CFD tool widely used in fire safety engineering. [...]

Addressing wildfires has become increasingly important. To enable robust fire prediction and protection strategies, a deeper understanding of biomass ignition, pyrolysis behavior, and gas phase reaction kinetics is essential. [...]

An online survey on the use of tenability criteria in CFD analyses for PBFSE was conducted, to better understand the current industry practices in fire modelling. 254 participants responded, representing wide range of roles in professional practice. [...]

When solving linear systems with the overlap operator at nonzero chemical potential $μ$ in lattice QCD one needs, at every iteration of the iterative solver, to apply the sign function evaluated on a non-Hermitian operator $Q_μ$ times a vector, i.e., $sign(Q_μ)v$. In this work we describe how deflation and (the more recently proposed) polynomial preconditioning can be applied to this problem, in particular in the context of lattice QCD. [...]
