these are notes from introductory survey lectures given at the institute for studies in theoretical physics and mathematics (ipm), teheran, in 2008 and 2010. we present the definition and the fundamental properties of fomin-zelevinsky’s cluster algebras. then, we introduce quiver representations and show how they can be used to construct cluster variables, which are the canonical generators of ...

While the number of computers in the classroom continues to increase and tremendous support for technology integration exists in government, business, and academia, a major discrepancy exists between the level of technology use that is expected from the educators and the actual use and integration of technology in the classroom. However, effective technology integration in early childhood educa...

We have designed and implemented a new portable system that can rapidly construct a computer environment where highthroughput research applications can be performed instantly. One challenge in the instant computing area is constructing a cluster system instantly, and then readily restoring it to its former state. This paper presents an approach for instant computing using Knoppix technology tha...

With the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, GPU computing capabilities continue to improve. Due continuous improvement and programming capabilities, functions, performance, GPUs have been widely used in field high-tech general-purpose computers. This article is aimed at studying optimization scheduling algorithm based on AI technology. Through a combination theoretical analysis...

A computer cluster is a group of loosely coupled computers that work together closely so that in many respects they can be viewed as though they are a single computer. Clusters are commonly, but not always, connected through fast local area networks. Clusters are usually deployed to improve speed and/or reliability over that provided by a single computer, while typically being much more cost-ef...

The paper presents an innovative and simple way of creating computer clustering and obtaining HPC clusters using computers in the classroom, Ethernet facilities and open source software. Automatic enlarge of a computer cluster is a cost-effective way to increase available computing power. This is achieved by forming a computer cluster from the computers in the classroom. The main aim of this pa...

GET_HOMOLOGUES is an open-source software package that builds on popular orthology-calling approaches making highly customizable and detailed pangenome analyses of microorganisms accessible to nonbioinformaticians. It can cluster homologous gene families using the bidirectional best-hit, COGtriangles, or OrthoMCL clustering algorithms. Clustering stringency can be adjusted by scanning the domai...

The storage and management of multi-dimensional data is an important aspect in many applications, like geo-information systems, computer vision and computer geometry. In contemporary times, when computers are able to capture and store increasing amounts of multidimensional data, it is important for applications to efficiently store and query this data. This work presents a distributed version o...
