We describe an analytical performance model for IEEE Futurebus+-based systems with emphasis on real-time applications. The performance model forms the basis of a design tool for Futurebus+ systems. With this design tool, the expected execution-time behavior of planned multiprocessor-based systems may be assessed. The performance model consists of two levels: The bus level model and the applicat...

Stimulated emission depletion (STED) resolves fluorescent features that are closer than the far-field optical diffraction limit by applying a spatially modulated light field keeping all but one of these features dark consecutively. For estimating the efficiency of transient fluorophore darkening, we developed analytical equations considering the spatio-temporal intensity profile of the STED bea...

High-performance liquid chromatography has replaced several spectroscopic methods and gas in the quantitative qualitative analysis of medications pre-sale procedure testing done past ten years. This is as part marketing drugs their control. During early stages its application, high-performance (HPLC) was expected to be a that would supplement chromatography; nevertheless, today, HPLC almost ent...

Large scale scientiic projects generate and use huge amounts of data. For example, the NASA EOSDIS project is expected to archive one petabyte per year of raw satellite data. This data is made automatically available for processing into higher level data products and for dissemination to the sci-entiic community. Such large volumes of data can only be stored in robotic storage libraries (RSLs) ...

Multicomputers have the potential to deliver Gi-gaaop performance on many scientiic applications. Initial implementations of parallel programs on these machines, however, are often ineecient and require signiicant optimization before they can harness the potential power of the machine. Performance prediction tools can provide valuable information on which optimizations will result in increased ...
