- ParticlesGS Sample
- This sample implements a complete particle system on the GPU using the Direct3D 10 Geometry Shader, Stream Output, and DrawAuto. Particle system computation has traditionally been performed on the CPU with the GPU rendering the particles as point sprites for visualization. With Geometry Shaders, the ability to output arbitrary amounts...

- A Full Bandwidth Calibrator for a Sound Pressure and Particle Velocity Sensor
- In literature it is shown that it is possible to calibrate a sound pressure and a particle velocity sensor in the free field at higher frequencies. This is done by calculating the acoustic impedance at a certain distance of a spherical loudspeaker. If the sound pressure is measured with a...

- Dynamic Load Balancing for Distributed Search
- This paper examines how computation can be mapped across the nodes of a distributed search system to effectively utilize available resources. It specifically address computationally intensive search of complex data, such as content-based retrieval of digital images or sounds, where sophisticated algorithms must be evaluated on the objects of interest....

- Particle Tracking and Simulation on the .Net Framework
- Particle tracking and simulation studies are becoming increasingly complex. In addition to the use of more sophisticated graphics, interactive scripting is becoming popular. Compatibility with different control systems requires network and database capabilities. It is not a trivial task to fulfill all the various requirements without sacrificing runtime performance. This...

- Hierarchical Partitioning and Dynamic Load Balancing for Scientific Computation
- Cluster and grid computing has made hierarchical and heterogeneous computing systems increasingly common as target environments for large-scale scientific computation. A cluster may consist of a network of multiprocessors. A grid computation may involve communication across slow interfaces. Modern supercomputers are often large clusters with hierarchical network structures. For maximum...

- Effective Computation of Biased Quantiles Over Data Streams
- Skew is prevalent in many data sources such as IP traffic streams. To continually summarize the distribution of such data, a high-biased set of quantiles (e.g., 50th, 90th and 99th percentiles) with finer error guarantees at higher ranks (e.g., errors of 5, 1 and 0.1 percent, respectively) is more useful...
