In this paper, we will discuss the System Architecture of Sony’s PayStation 3 (PS3). We will look at the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (CEBA) and observe how the Power Processing Element (PPE) communicates with the Synergistic Processing Elements (SPEs). We will also look at the Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) of the PS3 named the Reality Synthesizer (RSX). Next will look at how Extreme Da...

The bilateral filter plays a key role in image processing applications due to its intuitive parameterization and its high quality filter result, smoothing homogeneous regions while preserving the edges of the objects. Considering the image as a topological relief, seeing pixel intensities as peaks and valleys, we introduce a way to control the tonal weighting coefficients, the flowing bilateral...

modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. in light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of processing...

Large-scale Agent-Based Modelling and Simulation (ABMS) is a field of research that is becoming increasingly popular as researchers work to construct simulations at a higher level of complexity and realism than previously done. These systems can not only be difficult and time consuming to implement, but can also be constrained in their scope due to issues arising from a shortage of available pr...

This article presents an evaluation of the ERDAS IMAGINE Spatial Model Editor from perspective effective cognition. Workflow models designed in are used for automatic processing remote sensing data. The process steps as a chain operations workflow model. functionalities and visual vocabulary both important users. cognitive quality increases comprehension workflows during creation utilization. i...

Graphical overviews are text devices aimed to foster learning by conveying in a schematic way the text structure. Despite its importance in current learning systems such hypertext, psychological research does not agree on how overviews affect comprehension. Little is known about how hypertext readers process graphical overviews, and how this processing influence comprehension. In the present pa...

Graphical Processing Units (GPU) can provide tremendous computing power. Current NVidia and ATI hardware display a peak performance of hundreds of gigaflops. However, because of the data transfer speed between CPU and GPU is limited, those devices are difficult to use to accelerate numerical applications. In this paper we propose a software hybrid technique for automatically optimizing data tra...

The paper gives an overview of RTJBench, a framework designed to assist in the task of benchmarking programs written in the Real-Time Specification for Java, but with potentially more general applicability. RTJBench extends the JUnit framework for unit testing of Java applications with tools for real-time environment configuration, simple data processing and configurable graphical presentation ...
