The developments of multi-core technology have induced big challenges to software structures. To take full advantages of the performance enhancements offered by new multi-core hardware, software programming models have made a great shift from sequential programming to parallel programming. OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) and MPI (Message Passing Interface), as the most common parallel programmin...

TiO2-SiO2 core-shell particles include of monodisperse silica core and nanostructured titania shell were synthesized by a multi-step coating process. The monodisperse silica spheres were synthesized by Stöber method and titania shell was obtained of a colloidal sol prepared by a hydrolysis–condensation reaction. The titania sol was deposited on monodisperse silica spheres by a multi-step coatin...

T3PS is a program that can be used to quickly design and perform parameter scans while easily taking advantage of the multi-core architecture of current processors. It takes an easy to read and write parameter scan definition file format as input. Based on the parameter ranges and other options contained therein, it distributes the calculation of the parameter space over multiple processes and ...

For super-parallel video processing, we proposed a powerand area-efficient SRAM core architecture with a segmentation-free access, which means accessibility to arbitrary consecutive pixels, and horizontal/vertical access. To achieve these flexible accesses, a spirallyconnected local-wordline select signal and multi-selection scheme in wordlines are proposed, so that extra X-decoders in the conv...

Tomography is a powerful technique for three-dimensional imaging, that deals with image reconstruction from a series of projection images, acquired along a range of viewing directions. An important part of any tomograph system is the reconstruction algorithm. Iterative reconstruction algorithms have many advantages over non-iterative methods, yet their running time can be prohibitively long. As...

The movement of poorly sorted material over steep areas constitutes a hazardous environmental problem. Computational tools help in the understanding and predictions of such landslides. The main drawback is the high computational effort required for obtaining accurate numerical solutions due to the high number of cells involved in the calculus. In order to overcome this problem, this work propos...

We study strategy improvement algorithms for solving parity games. While these algorithms are known to solve parity games using a very small number of iterations, experimental studies have found that a high step complexity causes them to perform poorly in practice. In this paper we seek to address this situation. Every iteration of the algorithm must compute a best response, and while the stand...

INTRODUCTION Recent trends in computing have shifted toward multi-core processors and programmable graphics processors with highly parallel data paths for processing geometry and pixels. Multi-core machines are now readily available with 2 cores, but machines with 4, 8, and even 16 cores are projected for the near future. Data parallelism in modern graphics cards is also increasing with raw per...

In this paper, we propose an alternative design approach for multistandard video decompression systems. The key component of our proposal is a self−contained and extensible meta data format for unified description of image processing and reconstruction operations. Dividing between the syntactic layer of the video coding schemes and the signal processing part, the meta data format offers the opt...

BSTRACT Multi-core processors play a vital role in the application such as image processing. In this manuscript the focus is made on such types of imaging applications where in which, the image processing is done on handwritten scriptures of palm leaves to study its mechanics of characters inscribed. Here in this paper the approach adopted is the digital image reconstruction with acquiring of t...
