UNLABELLED We have developed a program for microarray data analysis, which features the false discovery rate for testing statistical significance and the principal component analysis using the singular value decomposition method for detecting the global trends of gene-expression patterns. Additional features include analysis of variance with multiple methods for error variance adjustment, corre...

In this paper, we present two new patterns (see Table 1) which are intended to demonstrate how the time-triggered techniques described in our earlier studies can be used effectively in embedded systems based on PC hardware. We see these patterns being of value primarily to developers who wish to use a PC platform to “prototype” a complex embedded design, prior to implementation using a microcon...

This paper describes new technologies that enable the use of the affordable PC hardware as the computing platform for high-performance electromechanical simulation. Challenging applications such as real-time hardware-in-the-loop and mega-simulation are made possible using a combination of PC-based simulation environment, distributed architecture, and software solutions to numerical problems tha...

− A very simple PC based system for simulation of bioelectrical signals is presented. In addition to a regular PC with an audio card and the constructed software only few passive components are needed to accurately mimic the waveforms of the original recorded bioelectrical signals stored in the PC’s hard drive. Alternatively, the simulated signals that are generated from the original recordings...

Recent years have seen an increased interest in the use of open-architecture, PC-based controllers for robotic and mechatronic systems. Although such systems give increased flexibility and performance at low unit cost, the use of commercial processors and memory devices can be problematic from a safety perspective as they lack many of the built-in integrity testing features that are typical of ...

Data from complex survey designs require special consideration with regard to variance and data analysis as a consequence of signi cant departures from simple random sampling assumptions. Using data from the National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES), which is characterized by a complex survey design, three programs developed for the analysis of complex survey data in a personal computing envir...

1 Abstract In our software-defined radio project we have implemented two different types of standards, a continuousphase-modulation (CPM) based standard, Bluetooth, and an OFDM based standard, HiperLAN/2, on a generalpurpose processor. First we describe our baseband software-defined radio testbed for the physical layer of wireless LAN standards. All physical layer functions have been successful...

In this work we report on our experiences running OpenMP programs on a commodity cluster of PCs running a software distributed shared memory (DSM) memory system. We compare the performance of message passing implementations of a subset of the NAS Parallel Benchmarks with their OpenMP counterpart and quantify the difference in performance in terms of remote and local memory access and synchroniz...
