Using crash simulation models, we investigate the multicore performance of the newly developed hybrid LS-DYNA, a method whose speedup arises from both shared-memory and message-passing parallelisms. Theoretically, the hybrid method gains performance advantages over the traditional, message-passing-parallel (MPP) LS-DYNA for two reasons. First, the addition of shared-memory parallelism to the me...

Though often criticized for its inherent synchronization overhead and coupling, the remote method invocation (RMI) paradigm remains one of the most popular abstractions for building distributed applications. Many authors have suggested ways to overcome its drawbacks focusing mostly on the invoker’s perspective, for example by multiplexing invocations to replicated server objects, through “futur...

BACKGROUND Point-of-care glucose meters are used increasingly in semi- and non-professional context. The quality of glucose measurements depends on the quality of the equipment, the quality of use, and the pre-analytical conditions. In this article, a External Quality Assessment Scheme (SKML)-Quality Mark for point-of-care test (POCT) and self-test glucose meters is proposed, assessing analytic...

A higher order boundary element method (HOBEM) is presented for inviscid flow passing a lifting body. In addition to the integral equation used velocity potential, similar derived and tangential on body surface. Higher elements are discretize surface, which ensures continuity of slope at nodes. The potential also expanded using shape function, in unknown coefficients involve velocity. expansion...
