We study distributed coverage of environments with unknown extension using a team of networked miniature robots analytically and experimentally. Algorithms are analyzed by incrementally raising the abstraction level starting from physical robots, to realis ...
When a multi-compartment neuron is divided into subtrees such that no subtree has more than two connection points to other subtrees, the subtrees can be on different processors and the entire system remains amenable to direct Gaussian elimination with only ...
For neural network simulations on parallel machines, Interprocessor spike communication can be a significant portion of the total simulation time. The performance of several spike exchange methods using a Blue Gene/P (BG/P) supercomputer has been tested wi ...
The brain is the most mysterious and intricate biological structure known to man. It dominates the way we live, think, reason and behave. It is built of billions of neurons that communicate with each other through trillions of connections using electrical ...
The combination of low cost clusters and multicore processors lowers the barrier for accessing massive amounts of computing power. As computational sciences advance, the use of in silico simulations to complement in vivo experiments promises parallel progr ...
Predicting activity of single neuron is an important part of the computational neuroscience and a great challenge. Several mathematical models exist, from the simple (one compartment and few parameters, like the SRM or the IF-type models), to the more comp ...
Dynamically allocating computing nodes to parallel applications is a promising technique for improving the utilization of cluster resources. Detailed simulations can help identify allocation strategies and problem decomposition parameters that increase the ...
Dynamically allocating computing nodes to parallel applications is a promising technique for improving the utilization of cluster resources. We introduce the concept of dynamic efficiency which expresses the resource utilization efficiency as a function of ...
Distributed co-ordination is the result of dynamical processes enabling independent agents to coordinate their actions without the need of a central co-ordinator. In the past few years, several computational models have illustrated the role played by such ...
Our research focuses on animating autonomous virtual humans which are able to take decisions by themselves. We especially address in this paper the technical problem of integrating altogether the physical simulation of agents (represented as virtual humans ...
