We report on the development of a new computational framework for efficiently carrying out parallel data redistribution in a limited memory environment. This new library, MADRE (The Memory-Aware Data Redistribution Engine), is an open-source, C/MPI-based toolkit designed for quick and easy integration into application codes that have demanding data migration needs. At the same time, MADRE expos...

Offshore jacket-type towers are steel structures designed and constructed in marine environments for various purposes such as oil exploration and exploitation units, oceanographic research, and undersea testing. In this paper a newly developed meta-heuristic algorithm, namely Cyclical Parthenogenesis Algorithm (CPA), is utilized for sizing optimization of a jacket-type offshore structure. The a...

Open Mathematical Engine Interface (OMEI) aims to establish a uniform application programming interface specification (API) for heterogeneous mathematical computation systems. OMEI can play an essential role in making mathematical engines easily accessible by front-ends, tools, and servers. The interface enables the development of individual applications that can serve different engines. The mo...

An application programming interface (API) is a specification intended to be used as an interface by software components to communicate with each other. An API may include specifications for routines, data structures, object classes, and variables. An API specification can take many forms, including an International Standard such as POSIX or vendor documentation such as the Microsoft Windows AP...

In computer programming, an application programming interface (API) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. An API expresses a software component in terms of its operations, inputs, outputs, and underlying types. An API defines functionalities that are independent of their respective implementations, which allows definitions and implementations to vary wit...

Unipept (http://unipept.ugent.be) is a web application that offers a user-friendly way to explore the biodiversity of complex metaproteome samples by providing interactive visualizations. In this article, the updates and changes to Unipept since its initial release are presented. This includes the addition of interactive sunburst and treeview visualizations to the multipeptide analysis, the fou...

This paper describes the Java MPI bindings that have been included in the Open MPI distribution. Open MPI is one of the most popular implementations of MPI, the Message-Passing Interface, which is the predominant programming paradigm for parallel applications on distributed memory computers. We have added Java support to Open MPI, exposing MPI functionality to Java programmers. Our approach is ...
