Memory kernel static

The frequency matrix Qy and the memory function matrix Ty, in the relaxation equation are equivalent to the Liouville operator matrix Ly and the Uy matrix, respectively. The later two matrices were introduced by Kadanoff and Swift [37] (see Section V). Thus the frequency matrix can be identified with the static variables (the wavenumber-dependent thermodynamic quantities) associated with the nondissipative part, and the memory kernel matrix can be identified with the transport coefficients associated with the dissipative part.

To examine the relation between the pair kinetic equation (7.32) and the corresponding propagator for the doublet field that enters into the singlet field equation derived in Appendix C, consider (C.12). The static memory kernel ab,ab defined in (C.l 1) may be written in a form closely related to that in (7.32) by using the static hierarchy. For a hard-sphere system, the static hierarchy takes the form" ... 

The mode coupling approximation for m (0 yields a set of equations that needs to be solved self-consistently. Hereby the only input to the theory is the static equilibrium structure factor 5, that enters the memory kernel directly and via the direct correlation function that is given by the Ornstein-Zernicke expression = (1 - l/5,)/p, with p being the average density. In MCT, the dynamics of a fluid close to the glass transition is therefore completely determined by equilibrium quantities plus one time scale, here given by the short-time diffusion coefficient. The theory can thus make rather strong predictions as the only input, namely, the equilibrium structure factor, can often be calculated from the particle interactions, or even more directly can be taken from the simulations of the system whose dynamics is studied. 

The kernel is designed to schedule partitions under real-time constraints through the use of three important hardware components MPIC Multicore Programmable Interrupt Controller), caches and MMU Memory Management Unit). The MPIC and the MMU are used by the kernel in order to implement the spatial and temporal isolation between the different partitions, whereas the caches are used to improve the memory access speed. Furthermore, the allocation of memory and time for the partitions is made statically at build-time, through a specific configuration tooi. 

More precisely, the kernel starts by initializing itself and then the different partitions, which are to be executed in a predefined static order. The MPIC generates an interruption each time a dedicated counter reaches a specific value. The kernel uses the MPIC to implement the temporal partitioning between applications an interrupt is generated each time a time slot allocated for a particular partition ends up. The dedicated counter is then set to zero, the context of the current partition is backed-up and the context of the next partition to be executed is restored. Regarding the memory isolation, the MMU is used for spatial partitioning it controls the memory accesses in such a way that a partition cannot read or write application data used in the context of another partition.
