Design of Air Distribution System for Operation Theatre Using Flow Visualization Techniques to Improve Flow Characteristics

Operation Theatre (OT) is the most important area where precise controlled on indoor air quality is required because it is directly related to patient health and its recovery period. This work aims to study and visualize the airflow distribution of conventional flat air diffuser ventilation system and newly designed angular air ventilation system in OT. Angular Air Distribution (AAD) system is ...

A high performance system for molecular dynamics simulation of biomolecules using a special-purpose computer.

GRAPE (GRavity PipE) processors are special purpose computers for simulation of classical particles. The performance of MD-GRAPE, one of the GRAPEs developed for molecular dynamics, was investigated. The effective speed of MD-GRAPE was equivalent to approximately 6 Gflops. The precision of MD-GRAPE was good judging from the acceptable fluctuation of the total energy. Then a software named PEACH...

FPGA and Rapid Prototyping Technology Use in a Special Purpose Computer for Molecular Genetics

It has long been known that for certain narrowly defined problems, special-purpose processors can achieve significant cost/performance gains over general purpose machines. We describe one such processor here: a custom accelerator for gene sequence analysis,. The use of rapid prototyping technology was crucial in our efforts to produce a working system in a short amount of time. Field programmab...
