Teaching tools for parallel processing

چکیده
Because many universities lack the funds to purchase expensive parallel computers, cost effective alternatives are needed to teach students about parallel processing. Free software is available to support the three major paradigms of parallel computing. Parallaxis is a sophisticated SIMD simulator which runs on a variety of platforms.jBACI shared memory simulator supports the MIMD model of computing with a common shared memory.PVM and MPI allow students to treat a network of workstations as a message passing MIMD multicomputer with distributed memory. Each of this software tools can be used in a variety of courses to give students experience with parallel algorithms.

A bi-objective model for a scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines with fuzzy parameters by two fuzzy multi-objective meta-heuristics
This paper considers a bi-objective model for a scheduling problem of unrelated parallel batch processing machines to minimize the makespan and maximum tardiness, simultaneously. Each job has a specific size and the data corresponding to its ready time, due date and processing time-dependent machine are uncertain and determined by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Each machine has a specific capacity,...
متن کاملChinese-English Parallel Corpus Construction and its Application
Chinese-English parallel corpora are key resources for Chinese-English cross-language information processing, Chinese-English bilingual lexicography, Chinese-English language research and teaching. But so far large-scale Chinese-English corpus is still unavailable yet, given the difficulties and the intensive labours required. In this paper, our work towards building a large-scale Chinese-Engli...
متن کاملParleda: a Library for Parallel Processing in Computational Geometry Applications
ParLeda is a software library that provides the basic primitives needed for parallel implementation of computational geometry applications. It can also be used in implementing a parallel application that uses geometric data structures. The parallel model that we use is based on a new heterogeneous parallel model named HBSP, which is based on BSP and is introduced here. ParLeda uses two main lib...
متن کاملPerformance of the Wavelet Transform-Neural Network Based Receiver for DPIM in Diffuse Indoor Optical Wireless Links in Presence of Artificial Light Interference
Artificial neural network (ANN) has application in communication engineering in diverse areas such as channel equalization, channel modeling, error control code because of its capability of nonlinear processing, adaptability, and parallel processing. On the other hand, wavelet transform (WT) with both the time and the frequency resolution provides the exact representation of signal in both doma...
متن کاملImplementation of the direction of arrival estimation algorithms by means of GPU-parallel processing in the Kuda environment (Research Article)
Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of audio signals is critical in different areas, including electronic war, sonar, etc. The beamforming methods like Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR), Delay-and-Sum (DAS), and subspace-based Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) are the most known DOA estimation techniques. The mentioned methods have high computational complexity. Hence using...
