New technologies in computer science applied to numerical computations open the door to alternative approaches to mechanical problems using the finite element method. In classical approaches, theoretical developments often become cumbersome and the compute ...
This paper describes the techniques that the program transformation system CURARE uses to restructure Lisp programs for concurrent execution in multiprocessor Lisp systems and discusses the problems inherent in producing concurrent programs in a flexible a ...
We present the design (hardware + software) of “Peta-pico-Voltron”, a low-current high voltage power supply for electrostatic actuators. Developed primarily for dielectric elastomer actuators, it offers a low-cost solution to generate user controllable vol ...
After a brief survey of existing database management systems (DBMS) for small machines the authors describe the design and implementation of a microcomputer-based DBMS intended for the non-specialist user. Portability, interactivity, and simplicity require ...
Remote sensing visual question answering (RQA) was recently proposed with the aim of interfacing natural language and vision to ease the access of information contained in Earth Observation data for a wide audience, which is granted by simple questions in ...
We present SIMPLE, a code developed to calculate optical properties of metallic and insulating extended systems using the optimal basis method originally proposed by E.L. Shirley in 1996. Two different approaches for the evaluation of the complex dielectri ...
As of today, programming has never been so accessible. Yet, it remains a challenge for end-users: students, non-technical employees, experts in their domains outside of computer science, and so on. With its forecast potential for solving problems by only o ...
This article discusses an efficient implementation of tensors of arbitrary rank by using some of the idioms introduced by the recently published C++ ISO Standard (C++11). With the aims at providing a basic building block for high-performance computing, a s ...
The end of Dennard scaling and the imminent end of semiconductor feature scaling means that software systems and applications will no longer benefit from 40% per annum performance increases, a continually rising tide that lifted all boats. Future software ...
One of the main challenges in software verification is efficient and precise analysis of programs with procedures and loops. Interpolation methods remain among the most promising techniques for such verification. To accommodate the demands of various progr ...
