Techniques for Optimizing Applications: High Performance Computing

High Performance Computing in Petroleum Applications

The purpose of mathematical reservoir simulation models in petroleum applications is to try to optimize the recovery of hydrocarbon from permeable underground reservoirs. To accomplish this, one must be able to predict the performance of the reservoir under various production schemes. There are two essential issues, modeling and software architecture design, while developing a comprehensive oil...

High Performance Reconfigurable Computing : From Applications

This paper presents the author's experience in programming Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) in the context of high performance digital signal and data processing. In particular, the paper presents the concept of hardware skeletons as a mean to bridge the gap between high level applications and low level hardware, and satisfy the dual requirement of high level abstract design and hardware ...

Multimedia Applications and High-Performance Computing

Digitalization of traditionally analog data such as video and audio, and the feasibility of obtaining network bandwidths of gigabits per second or more, are two key advances that have made possible the realization of interactive distributed multimedia systems. Multimedia is normally perceived as combining text, video, audio, graphics and images in computers to provide information to users throu...
