A Concurrent Multi Target Tracker: Benchmarking and Portability
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the current advances in computing and network technology and software, the gap between parallel and distributed computing environment is gradually becoming narrower. Consequently, parallel programs run on parallel as well as distributed systems. However, programming and porting complex applications to such environment is challenging task and not well understood. In this paper, we use a concurrent multi target tracker as a running example to analyze and evaluate performance of two diierent parallel implementations on parallel and distributed systems. We have benchmarked both these implementations on diierent architectures that vary from a network of workstations(SUN, IBM RS6000) to parallel computers (CM5, iPSC 860) using diierent parallel/distributed message passing tools(PVM, p4, EXPRESS, HORUS). We have also compared the performance of these tools to provide important communication primitives for high performance computing applications such as send/receive, broadcast and circular communication.

متن کاملParameters Identification of an Experimental Vision-based Target Tracker Robot Using Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, the uncertain dynamic parameters of an experimental target tracker robot are identified through the application of genetic algorithm. The considered serial robot is a two-degree-of-freedom dynamic system with two revolute joints in which damping coefficients and inertia terms are uncertain. First, dynamic equations governing the robot system are extracted and then, simulated nume...
متن کاملParticle Swarm Optimization Based Parameter Identification Applied to a Target Tracker Robot with Flexible Joint
This paper focuses on parameter identification of a target tracker robot possessing flexible joints using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Since, belt and pulley mechanisms are known as flexible joints in robotic systems, their elastic behavior affecting a tracker robot is investigated in this work. First, dynamic equations governing the robot behavior are extracted taking into acco...
متن کاملSoftware Knows Best: A Case for Hardware Transparency and Measurability
Future gains in computer system performance will only come from increased parallelism and efficient execution on specialized hardware. However parallel programming is more difficult than sequential programming, which means parallel programming will only be used if it leads to improved performance or energy efficiency. Because portability and reusability are required to reduce software costs, pa...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on Multi-person Tracking Using Overlapping Cameras
We present a comparative study for tracking multiple persons using cameras with overlapping views. The evaluated methods consist of two batch mode trackers (Berclaz et al, 2011, Ben-Shitrit et al, 2011) and one recursive tracker (Liem and Gavrila, 2011), which integrate appearance cues and temporal information differently. We also added our own improved version of the recursive tracker. Further...
