Using the theory of queues with vacations, we investig...

近些年来,随着计算机的计算能力和存储能力的飞速发展,科学计算的规模越来越大,在气象、生物技术、 油藏模拟、核技术等领域,用于计算的网格已达到百万、千万乃至数十亿,计算的数据结果也已达到 GB 乃至 TB 大小。而和计算、存储技术的飞速发展相比,由于受材料、电子等工艺的限制,计算机的显示尺寸的发展相对滞 后。如何能够快速、准确的表现海量数据已经成为一个亟需解决的问题。它不仅包括如何以更大的屏幕来显示数 据,还包括如何以更快的速度来处理数据。 使用并行计算技术的大屏幕显示是解决上述问题一个很好的途径。采用多个显示设备取代原来的单个显示设 备使得显示屏幕增大为相应的倍数;各个显示设备由单独的计算机进行驱动,计算任务的分担使得显示速度也大 大提高。 除了在科学计算方面的应用外,大屏幕显示作为一种“半沉浸式”的虚拟环境,在虚拟战场、视频会议、公 共场合演示等方面也有着广泛的应用。 大屏幕显示技...
