    Wavelength Requirements for Life Detection via Reflected Light Spectroscopy of Rocky Exoplanets

    Searching for signs of life is a primary goal of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). However, merely detecting oxygen, methane, or other widely discussed biosignatures is insufficient evidence for a biosphere. In parallel with biosignature detection, exoplanet life detection...

    8-Bit Fluids

    Memory capacity and bandwidth are key constraints on GPU fluid solvers at the scales needed for artificial life simulations. This paper presents a GPU-accelerated Stable Fluids solver with an 8-bit block-floating-point (BF8) encoding at memory round-trip points, reducing bandwidt...
