The LHCb Sprucing and Analysis Productions
The LHCb detector underwent a comprehensive upgrade in preparation for the third data-taking run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), known as LHCb Upgrade I. The increased data rate of Run 3 not only posed data collection (Online) challenges but also significant Offline data processing and analysis ones. The offline processing and analysis model was consequently upgraded to handle the factor 30 increase in data volume and the associated demands of ever-growing analyst-level datasets, led by the…

Optimizing Neural Networks with Learnable Non-Linear Activation Functions via Lookup-Based FPGA Acceleration
Learned activation functions in models like Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) outperform fixed-activation architectures in terms of accuracy and interpretability; however, their computational complexity poses critical challenges for energy-constrained edge AI deployments. Conventional CPUs/GPUs incur prohibitive latency and power costs when evaluating higher order activations, limiting deployability under ultra-tight energy budgets. We address this via a reconfigurable lookup architecture with …

Debian Hint #9: If you need to know what version of Debian you're currently
running, look in /etc/debian_version or use 'lsb_release -sc' command. If you
want to know the codename for that version (for example, 5.0 is codenamed
'Lenny'), check this URL:
