The goal of this work is to evaluate and compare the computational performance of the most common parallel libraries such as Message Passing Interface (MPI), High Performance Fortran (HPF), OpenMP and DVM for further implementations. Evaluation is based on NAS Parallel benchmark suite (NPB) which includes simulated applications BT, SP, LU and kernel benchmarks FT, CG and MG. A brief introductio...

Criteria based on disturbance rejection and system robustness are proposed to assess the performance of PID controllers. The robustness is measured by a two-block structured singular value, and the disturbance rejection is measured by the minimum singular value of the integral gain matrix. Examples show that the criteria can be applied to a variety of processes, whether they are stable, integra...

The Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe is a political declaration and framework agreement adopted in June 1999 to encourage and strengthen cooperation among the countries of South East Europe (SEE) and to facilitate, coordinate and streamline efforts to ensure stability and economic growth in the region. (see Compact ") is a key component of the Stability Pact under Working Table II on Eco...
