Accuracy in the absolute position in the sky is one of the limiting factors for pulsar timing, and timing parameters have a direct impact on the understanding of the physics of Isolated Neutron Stars (INS). We report here on a high-accuracy measurement of the optical position of Geminga (V=25.5), the only known radio-quiet INS. The procedure combines the Hipparcos and Tycho catalogues, ground-based astrometric data,and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Planetary Camera (WFPC2) images, to yield Gemingas absolute position to within ~40 mas (per coordinate). Such a positional accuracy, unprecedented for the optical position of a pulsar or an object this faint, is needed to combine in phase gamma-ray photons collected over more than 20 years, i.e. over 2.5 billions of star revolutions. Although quite a difficult task, this is the only way to improve our knowledge of the timing parameters of this radio silent INS.

For modern flash-based SSDs, the performance overhead of internal data migrations is dominated by the data transfer time, not by the flash program time as in old SSDs. In order to mitigate the performance impact of data migrations, we propose rCopyba
ck, a restricted version of copyback. Rcopyback works like the original copyback except that only n consecutive copybacks are allowed. By limiting the number of successive copybacks, it guarantees that no data reliability problem occurs when data is internally migrated using rCopyback. In order to take a full advantage of rCopyback, we developed a rCopyback-aware FTL, rcFTL, which intelligently decides whether rCopyback should be used or not by exploiting varying host workloads. Our evaluation results show that rcFTL can improve the overall I/O throughput by 54% on average over an existing FTL which does not use copybacks.
Edge computing is the natural progression from Cloud computing, where, instead of collecting all data and processing it centrally, like in a cloud computing environment, we distribute the computing power and try to do as much processing as possible,
close to the source of the data. There are various reasons this model is being adopted quickly, including privacy, and reduced power and bandwidth requirements on the Edge nodes. While it is common to see inference being done on Edge nodes today, it is much less common to do training on the Edge. The reasons for this range from computational limitations, to it not being advantageous in reducing communications between the Edge nodes. In this paper, we explore some scenarios where it is advantageous to do training on the Edge, as well as the use of checkpointing strategies to save memory.
Over the last decades quaternions have become a crucial and very successful tool for attitude representation in robotics and aerospace. However, there is a major problem that is continuously causing trouble in practice when it comes to exchanging for
mulas or implementations: there are two quaternion multiplications in common use, Hamiltons original multiplication and its flipped version, which is often associated with NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory. We believe that this particular issue is completely avoidable and only exists today due to a lack of understanding. This paper explains the underlying problem for the popular passive world to body usage of rotation quaternions, and derives an alternative solution compatible with Hamiltons multiplication. Furthermore, it argues for entirely discontinuing the flipped multiplication. Additionally, it provides recipes for efficiently detecting relevant conventions and migrating formulas or algorithms between them.
Precoding has stood out as a promising multi-user transmission technique to meet the emerging throughput demand of satellite communication systems while awaiting the technological maturity for exploiting higher bands. Precoding enables the reduction
of interference among co-channel beams through spatial processing while promoting aggressive frequency reuse and improving spectral efficiency. Satellite systems offer multitude of system and service configurations, resulting in different precoder design methodologies. This article explores the motivation for the introduction of precoding, offers an insight to their theoretical development in a diverse scenarios and presents some avenues for future development.
How to make software analytics simpler and faster? One method is to match the complexity of analysis to the intrinsic complexity of the data being explored. For example, hyperparameter optimizers find the control settings for data miners that improve
for improving the predictions generated via software analytics. Sometimes, very fast hyperparameter optimization can be achieved by just DODGE-ing away from things tried before. But when is it wise to use DODGE and when must we use more complex (and much slower) optimizers? To answer this, we applied hyperparameter optimization to 120 SE data sets that explored bad smell detection, predicting Github ssue close time, bug report analysis, defect prediction, and dozens of other non-SE problems. We find that DODGE works best for data sets with low intrinsic dimensionality (D = 3) and very poorly for higher-dimensional data (D over 8). Nearly all the SE data seen here was intrinsically low-dimensional, indicating that DODGE is applicable for many SE analytics tasks.
