Building pyramid for remote sensing (RS) image is an effective way to achieve image multi-resolution organization, and also an important way to improve performance of image browsing. For large-scale remote sensing image, traditional sequential pyramid building processing is a time consuming task in many applications. By taking advantage of multi-core, multi-node cluster computing environment an...

The aim of this paper is to show how to multithread a compute intensive application in mathematics (Group Theory) for an institutional Desktop Grid platform coordinated by a meta-grid middleware named BonjourGrid which is a fully decentralized Desktop Grid middleware. The paper is twofold: first of all, it shows how to multithread a sequential program for a multicore CPU which participates in t...

We build wavelet-based adaptive numerical methods for the simulation of advection dominated flows that develop multiple spatial scales, with an emphasis on fluid mechanics problems. Wavelet based adaptivity is inherently sequential and in this work we demonstrate that these numerical methods can be implemented in software that is capable of harnessing the capabilities of multi-core architecture...

Sequential portfolio selection has attracted increasing interest in the machine learning and quantitative finance communities in recent years. As a mathematical framework for reinforcement learning policies, the stochastic multi-armed bandit problem addresses the primary difficulty in sequential decision-making under uncertainty, namely the exploration versus exploitation dilemma, and therefore...

Sequential voting rules and correspondences provide a way for agents to make group decisions when the set of available options has a multi-issue structure. One important question about sequential voting rules (correspondences) is whether they satisfy two crucial criteria, namely neutrality and efficiency. Recently, Benoit and Kornhauser established an important result about seat-by-seat voting ...

In-line integration of sequential catalysis and continuous multi-column purification. Adapted for small compound amounts (hit-to-lead). Suitable large-scale purification (process chemistry).

We survey experimental research on multi-unit auctions with an emphasis on topics that may be of a unifying interest to experimental, as well as theoretical and empirical economists. Topics include static and dynamic multi-unit auctions; combinatorial auctions and efficient auction design; simultaneous and sequential auctions; bidder asymmetry and endogenous entry, and collusion in auctions. We...

We report a simple and low-cost strategy that allows the sequential and site-specific assembly of a dehydrogenase-based multi-enzyme cascade for methanol oxidation on the yeast surface using the high-affinity interactions between three orthogonal cohesin-dockerin pairs. The multi-enzyme cascade showed 5 times higher NADH production rate than the non-complexed enzyme mixture, a result of efficie...

The linear storage model is widely used to support inmemory multi-key search running on small devices of limited computing capacity, simply because it avoids the maintenance of space-costly and energy-costly indexing structures. However, it only supports sequential multi-key scan which is slow and energy-consuming. We design an index structure called D-Tree to address the problem.

Multi-threaded programs have many applications which are widely used such as operating systems. Analyzing multi-threaded programs differs from sequential ones; the main feature is that many threads execute at the same time. The effect of all other running threads must be taken in account. Partial redundancy elimination is among the most powerful compiler optimizations: it performs loop-invarian...
