Item Finite size effects on measures of critical exponents in d=3 O(N) models(Physics letters B, 1996) Ballesteros, H. G.; Fernández Pérez, Luis Antonio; Martín Mayor, Víctor; Muñoz Sudupe, AntonioWe study the critical properties of three-dimensional O(N) models, for N = 2,3,4. Parameterizing the leading correctionsto-scaling for the r] exponent, we obtain a reliable infinite volume extrapolation, incompatible with previous Monte Carlo values, but in agreement with e-expansions. We also measure the critical exponent related with the tensorial magnetization as well as the v exponents and critical couplings.Item Ianus: an adaptive FPGA computer(Computing in science & engineering, 2006) Fernández Pérez, Luis Antonio; Martín Mayor, Víctor; Muñoz Sudupe, Antonio; otros, ...Dedicated machines designed for specific computational algorithms can outperform conventional computers by several orders of magnitude. In this note we describe Ianus, a new generation FPGA based machine and its basic features: hardware integration and wide reprogrammability. Our goal is to build a machine that can fully exploit the performance potential of new generation FPGA devices. We also plan a software platform which simplifies its programming, in order to extend its intended range of application to a wide class of interesting and computationally demanding problems. The decision to develop a dedicated processor is a complex one, involving careful assessment of its performance lead, during its expected lifetime, over traditional computers, taking into account their performance increase, as predicted by Moore’s law. We discuss this point in detail.Item Study of the Coulomb-Higgs transition in the abelian Higgs model(Physics letters B, 1998) Cruz, A.; Íñiguez, D.; Fernández Pérez, Luis Antonio; Muñoz Sudupe, Antonio; Tarancón, A.The order of the Coulomb-Higgs transition in the U (1) -Higgs model with unfrozen modulus of the scalar field is studied. Large lattices (up to 24^4 in one case) and high statistics are used. We fix β = 1.15 and explore specially a region of λ-values where metastability is observed. We study the thermodynamical limit of several observables, in particular, the latent heat, the specific heat, the decrement of the free energy between the maxima and the central minimum of the two-peaked histogram, the Binder cumulant and the displacement of the critical coupling with the lattice size. The results point towards a second order transition for λ ≥ 0.005, while for smaller values of λ the strong metastability growing with the lattice size seems to derive from a first order character.Item Critical behavior in the site-diluted three-dimensional three-state Potts model(Physical review B, 2000) Ballesteros, H. G.; Fernández Pérez, Luis Antonio; Martín Mayor, Víctor; Muñoz Sudupe, Antonio; Parisi, G.; Ruiz Lorenzo, J. J.We have studied numerically the effect of quenched site dilution on a weak first-order phase transition in three dimensions. We have simulated the site diluted three-states Potts model studying in detail the secondorder region of its phase diagram. We have found that the n exponent is compatible with the one of the three-dimensional diluted Ising model, whereas the h exponent is definitely different.Item New universality class in three dimensions? The antiferromagnetic RP^(2) model(Physics letters B, 1996) Ballesteros, H. G.; Fernández Pérez, Luis Antonio; Martín Mayor, Víctor; Muñoz Sudupe, AntonioWe present the results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the RP^(2) model in three dimensions with negative coupling. We observe a second order phase transition between the disordered phase and an antiferromagnetic, unfrustrated, ordered one. We measure, with a finite size scaling analysis, the thermal exponent, obtaining v = 0.784(g). We have found two magnetic-type relevant operators whose related YJ exponents are 0.038( 2) and 1.338( 8) respectively.Item Nature of the spin-glass phase at experimental length scales(Journal of statistical mechanics: theory and experiment, 2010) Fernández Pérez, Luis Antonio; Martín Mayor, Víctor; Muñoz Sudupe, Antonio; otros, ...We present a massive equilibrium simulation of the three-dimensional Ising spin glass at low temperatures. The Janus special-purpose computer has allowed us to equilibrate, using parallel tempering, L = 32 lattices down to T ≈ 0.64Tc. We demonstrate the relevance of equilibrium finite-size simulations to understand experimental non-equilibrium spin glasses in the thermodynamical limit by establishing a time-length dictionary. We conclude that non-equilibrium experiments performed on a time scale of one hour can be matched with equilibrium results on L ≈ 110 lattices. A detailed investigation of the probability distribution functions of the spin and link overlap, as well as of their correlation functions, shows that Replica Symmetry Breaking is the appropriate theoretical framework for the physically relevant length scales. Besides, we improve over existing methodologies to ensure equilibration in parallel tempering simulations.Item The Coulomb-Higgs transition of the three-parameter U(1)-Higgs model(Nuclear Physics B-Proceedings Supplements, 1995) Cruz, A.; Íñiguez, D.; Tarancón, A.; Fernández Pérez, Luis Antonio; Muñoz Sudupe, AntonioWe find a first order Coulomb-Higgs phase transition at moderately large values of the coupling λ, and no evidence for a change of order at any finite value of it.Item Instanton-like contributions to the dynamics of Yang-Mills fields on the twisted torus(1993) García Pérez, M.; González Arroyo, A.; Martínez, P.; Fernández Pérez, Luis Antonio; Muñoz Sudupe, Antonio; Ruiz Lorenzo, J. J.; Azcoiti, V.; Campos, I.; Ciria, J.C.; Cruz, A.; Íñiguez, D.; Lesmes, F.; Badoni, D.; Pech, J.We study SU(2) lattice gauge theory in small volumes and with twist m ⃗ = (1, 1, 1). We investigate the presence of the periodic instantons of Q = 1/2 and determine their free energy and their contribution to the splitting of energy flux sectors E(e ⃗ = (1, 1, 1)) − E(e ⃗ = (0, 0, 0)).Item Monte Carlo study of O(3) antiferromagnetic models in three dimensions(Physical review B, 1996) Ballesteros, H. G.; Fernández Pérez, Luis Antonio; Martín Mayor, Víctor; Muñoz Sudupe, AntonioWe study three antiferromagnetic formulations of the O(3) spin model in three dimensions by means of Monte Carlo simulations: (1) a two parameter s model with nearest- and next-nearest neighbors couplings in a cubic lattice; (2) a face-centered-cubic lattice with nearest-neighbor interaction; (3) a cubic lattice with a set of fully frustrating couplings. We discuss in all cases the vacua properties and analyze the phase transitions. Using finite-size scaling analysis we conclude that all phase transitions found are of first order.Item Janus: an FPGA-based system for high-performance scientific computing(Computing in science & engineering, 2009) Fernández Pérez, Luis Antonio; Martín Mayor, Víctor; Muñoz Sudupe, Antonio; Yllanes, D.; otros, ...This paper describes JANUS, a modular massively parallel and reconfigurable FPGA-based computing system. Each JANUS module has a computational core and a host. The computational core is a 4x4 array of FPGA-based processing elements with nearest-neighbor data links. Processors are also directly connected to an I/O node attached to the JANUS host, a conventional PC. JANUS is tailored for, but not limited to, the requirements of a class of hard scientific applications characterized by regular code structure, unconventional data manipulation instructions and not too large data-base size. We discuss the architecture of this configurable machine, and focus on its use on Monte Carlo simulations of statistical mechanics. On this class of application JANUS achieves impressive performances: in some cases one JANUS processing element outperfoms high-end PCs by a factor ≈1000. We also discuss the role of JANUS on other classes of scientific applications.
