Time Sharing Massively Parallel Machines

Space and Time Sharing of Reconfigurable Hardware for Accelerated Parallel Processing

Abstract. High-Performance Reconfigurable Computers (HPRCs) are parallel machines consisting of FPGAs and microprocessors, with the FPGAs used as co-processors. The execution of parallel applications on such systems has mainly followed the Single-Program Multiple-Data (SPMD) model; however, overall system resources are often underutilized because of the asymmetric distribution of the reconfigur...

Parallel processing in human audition and post-lesion plasticity

Recent activation and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that sound recognition and localization are processed in two distinct cortical networks that are each present in both hemispheres. Sound recognition and/or localization may be, however, disrupted by purely unilateral damage, suggesting that processing within one hemisphere may not be sufficient or may be disturbed by the contr...

Parallel Processing of Geospatial Time-series Data

One way of quantifying how much sunlight the earth receives, at a particular location and time, is to compute a Cloud Index from satellite images. This calculation involves processing large files of data that are collected in a way that makes time-series analysis extremely time consuming on a single computer. There are several ways to render this memory-intensive problem more feasible using par...
