Hand position affects performance on multiplication tasks

Hand position affects saccadic reaction times in monkeys and humans.

In daily life, activities requiring the hand and eye to work separately are as frequent as activities requiring tight eye-hand coordination, and we effortlessly switch from one type of activity to the other. Such flexibility is unlikely to be achieved without each effector "knowing" where the other one is at all times, even when it is static. Here, we provide behavioral evidence that the mere p...

Body position affects performance in untrained cyclists.

OBJECTIVE To compare cardiovascular and ventilatory variables in upright versus aero cycle ergometry at submaximal and maximal exercise intensities in untrained cyclists. METHOD Ten physically active men (mean (SD) age 19.1 (1.10) years) who were unfamiliar with aerobars underwent maximal exercise testing and steady state cycling at 50, 100, and 150 W. RESULTS Participants had significantly...

Hierarchical Matrix-Matrix Multiplication Based on Multiprocessor Tasks

We consider the realization of matrix-matrix multiplication and propose a hierarchical algorithm implemented in a task-parallel way using multiprocessor tasks on distributed memory. The algorithm has been designed to minimize the communication overhead while showing large locality of memory references. The task-parallel realization makes the algorithm especially suited for cluster of SMPs since...

Sub Tasks Matrix Multiplication Algorithm (STMMA)

Several parallel matrix multiplications developed since four decades based on decomposing the multiplied matrices into smaller size blocks, the blocks will be distributed among the processors to run matrix multiplication in shorter time than when only one processor will run the whole matrix multiplications. All parallel matrix multiplications algorithms suffer from three points: C The optimal s...
