Various implementations of MPI are becoming available as MPI is slowly emerging as the standard API for parallel programming on most platforms. The open source implementations LAM-MPI and MPICH are the most widely used, while commercial implementations are usually tied to special hardware platforms. This paper compares these two open-source MPIimplementations to one of the commercially availabl...

Cloud computing is a popular Internet-based computing paradigm that provides on-demand computational services and resources, generally offered by cloud providers’ REpresentational State Transfer (REST) APIs. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no study on the analysis of the lexicon adopted by cloud providers, despite its importance for developers. In this paper, we studied three diffe...

P-graph is a popularly used framework for process network synthesis (PNS) and topological optimization. This short communication introduces Python interface to serve as linkage modern programming ecosystems. allows wider application of the fast efficient solver, provide structural enumeration in numerous fields. The proposed more integrative usage Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning,...

This paper presents new and ongoing development efforts directed toward open-source, cross-platform C++ “tools” for music and audio programming. RtMidi provides a common application programming interface (API) for realtime MIDI input and output on Linux, Windows, Macintosh, and SGI computer systems. RtAudio provides complementary functionality for realtime audio input and output streaming. The ...

This paper presents FEAPI, an easy-to-use platform-independent plugin application programming interface (API) for the extraction of low level features from audio in PCM format in the context of music information retrieval software. The need for and advantages of using an open and well-defined plugin interface are outlined in this paper and an overview of the API itself and its usage is given.

Open Machine Translation Core (OMTC) is a proposed open API that defines an application programming interface (API) for machine translation (MT) systems. The API defined is a service interface which can be used to underpin any type of MT application. It consists of components which allow programmers, with little effort, to integrate different MT back-ends into their applications since an OMTC c...

The EnMAP-Box is a toolbox that is developed for the processing and analysis of data acquired by the German spaceborne imaging spectrometer EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program). It is developed with two aims in mind in order to guarantee full usage of future EnMAP data, i.e., (1) extending the EnMAP user community and (2) providing access to recent approaches for imaging spectrosc...

6 Discoveries in modern science can take years and involve the contribution of large amounts of data, many 7 people and various tools. Although good scientific practice dictates that findings should be reproducible, in 8 practice there are very few automated tools that actually support traceability of the scientific method employed, 9 in particular when various experimental environments are inv...

Applications that use the Solaris threads application programming interface (API), e.g. thr_create(), mutex_lock(), cond_signal(), etc. [1], are generally non-portable. Thus to port an application that uses Solaris threads to another platform will require some degree of work. Solaris now supports the POSIX threads API as well as the Solaris threads API. Therefore to make a Solaris threaded appl...
