Collaborative applications running on 3G devices often rely on cloud-based servers for computation and storage. A peerto-peer approach to building these applications can provide benefits such as enhanced privacy and bandwidth efficiency. We propose Contrail, an asynchronous network architecture that uses the cloud to relay messages between 3G devices. Contrail employs selective receiver-specifi...

Currently, numerically simulated synthetic seismograms are widely used by seismologists for seismological inferences. The generation of these synthetic seismograms requires large amount of computing resources, and the maintenance of these observed seismograms requires massive storage. Traditional high-performance computing platforms is inefficient to handle these applications because rapid comp...

This paper studies parallelization schemes for stochastic Vector Quantization algorithms in order to obtain time speed-ups using distributed resources. We show that the most intuitive parallelization scheme does not lead to better performances than the sequential algorithm. Another distributed scheme is therefore introduced which obtains the expected speedups. Then, it is improved to fit implem...

The aim of the study was to check performance set-up internet connection using three VPN protocols: Wireguard, OpenVPN and L2TP / IPSec. Docker applications were used for tests, on which server configuration file launched. containers running Amazon server. tests performed a laptop virtual machine with Windows 10 Pro. has been run in Microsoft Azure cloud. next step launch docker start tools: pi...

r e P liCated storaGe systems for the cloud deliver different consistency guarantees to applications that are reading data. Invariably, cloud storage providers redundantly store data on multiple machines so that data remains available in the face of unavoidable failures. Replicating data across datacenters is not uncommon, allowing the data to survive complete site outages. However, the replica...

Electronic Health (e-Health) technology has brought the world with significant transformation from traditional paper-based medical practice to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)-based systems for automatic management (storage, processing, and archiving) of information. Traditionally e-Health systems have been designed to operate within stovepipes on dedicated networks, physical co...

This paper describes how cloud computing has been used to reduce the time taken to generate chemical activity models from years to weeks. Chemists use Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) models to predict the activity of molecules. Existing Discovery Bus software builds these models automatically from datasets containing known molecular activities, using a “panel of experts” alg...

When uninjured cells of Valonia are placed in methylene blue dissolved in sea water it is found, after 1 to 3 hours, that at pH 5.5 practically no dye penetrates, while at pH 9.5 more enters the vacuole. As the cells become injured more dye enters at pH 5.5, as well as at pH 9.5. No dye in reduced form is found in the sap of uninjured cells exposed from 1 to 3 hours to methylene blue in sea wat...
