In this paper, we present a brief review of methods for protein structure comparison. We also present a novel idea for comparing homo-oligomeric protein complexes by using a simplified representation of the protein that takes advantage of the symmetry present in the protein. We compare this method to other similar protein comparison methods in computational experiments.

The Microsystems Subgrid Physics project is intended to address gaps between developing high-performance modeling and simulation capabilities and microdomain specific physics. The initial effort has focused on incorporating electrostatic excitations, adhesive surface interactions, and scale dependent material and thermal properties into existing modeling capabilities. Developments related to ea...

In Microblog retrieval, a system’s ability to know when to ”shut up” and how many results to return for a given query can have huge impact on its performance [1]. In addition, since relevant but redundant tweets will be deemed as irrelevant, it is also important to detect whether a tweet contain novel information or not. Therefore, in this year’s Real-Time Summarization Track, we focus on estim...

Improved Feedback for Architectural Performance Prediction using Software Cartography Visualizations Klaus Krogmann (Universität Karlsruhe (TH), Germany), Christian M.

While ensembles have been used for structured output learning, the literature lacks an extensive study of different strategies to construct ensembles in this context. In this work, we fill this gap by presenting a thorough empirical comparison of ensembles that predict the complete output structure at once, versus a combination of ensembles that each predicts a single component of the structure...

Conventional performance environments are based on pro ling and event instrumentation. It becomes problematic as parallel systems scale to hundreds of nodes and beyond. A framework of developing an integrated performance modeling and prediction system, SCALability Analyzer (SCALA), is presented in this study. In contrast to existing performance tools, the program performance model generated by ...

The paper describes the configuration of a synchronization link sharing hardware components with the SAR instrument. Such a system is intended for the TanDEM-X mission. The resulting restrictions on the phase synchronization scheme, timing, and accuracy are investigated. The statistical properties of the phase compensation signal are used to derive a figure-of-merit for synchronization performa...
