Status of the Cp-pacs Project 1. the Cp-pacs Projectt1] 2. Cp-pacs Computer 2.1. Design Parameters

The CP-PACS Project, which started in April 1992, is a ve-year plan to develop a massively parallel computer for carrying out research in computational physics with primary emphasis on lattice QCD. This article describes the architectural design of the CP-PACS computer, the entire computing system including the front end and mass storage, and results of benchmarks for the expected performance f...

Status of the Cp-pacs Project Y. Iwasaki a for the Cp-pacs Collaboration

The CP-PACS computer with a peak speed of 300 GGops was completed in March 1996 and has started to operate. We describe the nal speciication and the hardware implementation of the CP-PACS computer, and its performance for QCD codes. A plan of the grade-up of the computer scheduled for fall of 1996 is also given. 1. CP-PACS project The CP-PACS projectt1] is a ve-year project which formally start...

Socioeconomic Status and Current Cigarette Smoking Status: Immigrants’ Diminished Returns

Introduction: Although socioeconomic status (SES) resources influence population and individual health behaviors, socially marginalized groups gain significantly less health from their SES indicators, such as education and income, compared to the socially privileged groups. This pattern is called marginalization-related diminished returns (MDRs). However, most of the MDRs liter...

CURRENT TOPIC PACS (picture archiving and communication systems): filmless radiology

A picture archiving and communication system (PACS) is a computerised means of replacing the roles of conventional radiological film. This review describes the Hammersmith PACS, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of PACS systems. (Arch Dis Child 2000;83:82–86)
