A simulated annealing algorithm for zoning in planning using parallel computing
(Pergamon Press, 2016)
[Abstract] There is an increasing demand for tools that support land use planning processes, particularly the design of zoning maps, which is one of the most complex tasks in the field. In this task, different land use ...
Rendering of Bézier Surfaces on Handheld Devices
(Vaclav Skala - Union Agency, 2013)
[Abstract] Bézier surfaces have been widely employed in the designing of complex scenes with high-quality results. Nevertheless, parametric surfaces cannot be directly rendered in the current GPUs of modern handheld devices. ...
High-Speed FPGA Architecture for CABAC Decoding Acceleration in H.264/AVC Standard
(Springer New York LLC, 2013-08)
[Abstract] Video encoding and decoding are computing intensive applications that require high performance processors or dedicated hardware. Video decoding offers a high parallel processing potential that may be exploited. ...
Implementing Parallel Differential Evolution on Spark
(Springer, 2016-04-02)
[Abstract] Metaheuristics are gaining increased attention as an efficient way of solving hard global optimization problems. Differential Evolution (DE) is one of the most popular algorithms in that class. However, its ...
Optimization of Real-World MapReduce Applications With Flame-MR: Practical Use Cases
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018-11-12)
[Abstract] Apache Hadoop is a widely used MapReduce framework for storing and processing large amounts of data. However, it presents some performance issues that hinder its utilization in many practical use cases. Although ...
Prediction of missing sequences and branch lengths in phylogenomic data
(Oxford University Press, 2016-01-05)
[Abstract] Motivation: The presence of missing data in large-scale phylogenomic datasets has negative effects on the phylogenetic inference process. One effect that is caused by alignments with missing per-gene or per-partition ...
The Phylogenetic Likelihood Library
(Oxford University Press, 2015-03-01)
[Abstract] We introduce the Phylogenetic Likelihood Library (PLL), a highly optimized application programming interface for developing likelihood-based phylogenetic inference and postanalysis software. The PLL implements ...
Locality-Aware Automatic Parallelization for GPGPU with OpenHMPP Directives
(Springer New York LLC, 2016-06)
[Abstract] The use of GPUs for general purpose computation has increased dramatically in the past years due to the rising demands of computing power and their tremendous computing capacity at low cost. Hence, new programming ...
Resilient MPI applications using an application-level checkpointing framework and ULFM
(Springer New York LLC, 2017-01)
[Abstract] Future exascale systems, formed by millions of cores, will present high failure rates, and long-running applications will need to make use of new fault tolerance techniques to ensure successful execution completion. ...
Parallelizing Epistasis Detection in GWAS on FPGA and GPU-Accelerated Computing Systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015)
[Abstract] High-throughput genotyping technologies (such as SNP-arrays) allow the rapid collection of up to a few million genetic markers of an individual. Detecting epistasis (based on 2-SNP interactions) in Genome-Wide ...
