- Reducing the Complexity of HPC for Simulations - Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 Powers Multi-Field Product Simulation With LSTC's LS-Dyna
- Calculating computationally intensive problems on a single CPU can take hours, days, or even weeks. Performing the same calculations in parallel by using cluster technology increases processing speed dramatically, and can save a project valuable turnaround time. Join us for an informative discussion on how the LS-DYNA suite and Microsoft...

- A Graphics Hardware Implementation of the Generalized Hough Transform for Fast Object Recognition, Scale, and 3D Pose Detection
- The generalized Hough transform constitutes a well-known approach to object recognition and pose detection. To attain reliable detection results, however, a very large number of candidate object poses and scale factors need to be considered. In this paper we employ an inexpensive, consumer-market graphics card as the "poor man's" parallel...

- Cache Optimization for Coarse Grain Task Parallel Processing Using Inter-Array Padding
- The wide use of multiprocessor system has been making automatic parallelizing compilers more important. To improve the performance of multiprocessor system more by compiler, multigrain parallelization is important. In multigrain parallelization, coarse grain task parallelism among loops and subroutines and near fine grain parallelism among statements is used in addition...

- Efficiency of Distributed Parallel Processing Using Java RMI, Sockets, and CORBA
- Software development is proceeding at a remarkable rate. Many new tools are available to the researcher in parallel and distributed processing. These tools include PVM, MPI, and Java. But, recently, a more general tool, Common Object Request Broker Architecture, (CORBA) has appeared. Since it allows a general view of remote...

- Optimising Data Movement Rates for Parallel Processing Applications on Graphics Processors
- Graphics Processing Units(GPUs) are starting to play an increasingly important role in non-graphical applications which are highly parallelisable. With the latest graphics cards boasting a theoretical 165GFlops and 54GB/s memory bandwidth spread across 48 ALUs it is easy to see why. The GPU architecture is particularly suited to the parallel...

- True Parallel Processing in Artificial Neural Networks
- The area of artificial neural networks, which dates back to the early twentieth century, could only offer positive contributions to technology after the back-propagation algorithm was proposed in 1986. In this note an alternative algorithm to the gradient descent used in back-propagation is proposed. This algorithm is based on the...

- Intelligent Perceptual Information Parallel Processing System Controlled by Mathematical AIM Model
- This paper studies an intelligent perceptual information processing system in which plural processing can run in parallel. The proposed mathematical Activation-Input-Modulation (AIM) model controls each execution frequency of plural processing independently based on degrees of stimuli detected by external sensors. When external stimuli are detected by some of external sensors,...
