Existing models for parallel programming over Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) do not address issues specific to parallel programming over a Network of Workstations (NOWs). This paper presents P-CORBA, a model for parallel programming over ...
This paper presents dramatic improvements in the micro-fabrication of three-dimensional microfluidic channels and high-aspect ratio tunnels within the bulk of a fused silica substrate. We also report the fabrication of optical waveguides within the same su ...
The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experiment's Silicon Vertex Trigger (SVT) is a system of 150 custom 9U VME boards that reconstructs axial tracks in the CDF silicon strip detector in a 15 μs pipeline. SVT's 35 μm impact parameter resolution enables ...
Dynamic Parallel Schedules (DPS) is a high-level framework for developing parallel applications on distributed memory computers (e.g. clusters of PC). Its model relies on compositional customizable split-compute-merge graphs of operations (directed acyclic ...
We address the weighted max-cut problem, or equivalently the problem of maximizing a quadratic form in n binary variables. If the underlying (symmetric) matrix is positive semidefinite of fixed rank d, then the problem can be reduced to searching the extre ...
The first natural occurrence of ringwoodite lamellae was found in the olivine grains inside and in areas adjacent to the shock veins of a chondritic meteorite, and these lamellae show distinct growth mechanism. Inside the veins where pressure and temperatu ...
Parallel computation of blood flow in a 1D model of human arterial network has been carried out employing a Taylor Galerkin finite element method. Message passing interface libraries have been used on Origin 2000 SGI machine. A Greedy strategy for load-dis ...
We present a new, parallel version of the numerical electromagnetics code (NEC). The parallelization is based on a bidimensional block-cyclic distribution of matrices on a rectangular processor grid, assuring a theoretically optimal load balance among the ...
During the last decade the field of computational chem. has experienced an enormous progress. Due to the exponential increase in computer power and the development of new computational methods it has now become possible to treat many complex chem. and biol ...
The purpose of this thesis is to define efficient parallel preconditioners based on the domain decomposition paradigm and to apply them to the solution of the steady compressible Euler equations. In the first part we propose and analyse various domain deco ...
