چکیده
We present a set of algorithms for simulating and visualizing real-time crowds in GPU (Graphics Processing Units) clusters. First we present crowd simulation and rendering techniques that take advantage of single GPU machines. Then, using as an example a wandering crowd behavior simulation algorithm, we explain how this kind of algorithms can be extended for their use in GPU cluster environments. We also present a visualization architecture that renders the simulation results using detailed 3D virtual characters. This architecture is adaptable in order to support the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) infrastructure. The results show that our algorithms are scalable in different hardware platforms including embedded systems, desktop GPUs, and GPU clusters, in particular, the BSC’s Minotauro cluster.

In this paper we present a methodology for blind source separation (BSS) based on a coherence function to solve the problem of linear instantaneous mixtures of signals. The proposed methodology consists of minimizing the coherence function using a heuristic algorithm based on the simulating annealing method. Also, we derived an analytical expression of the coherence for the BSS model, in which ...

We present a methodology to wikify learning objects. Our proposal is focused on two processes: word sense disambiguation and relevant phrase selection. The disambiguation process involves the use of the learning object’s metadata as either additional or alternative context. This increases the probability of success when a learning object has a low quality context. The selection of relevant phra...

Sorting Networks (SN) are efficient tools to sort an input data sequence. They are composed by a set of comparison-exchange operations called comparators. The comparators are a priori fixed for a determined input size. The comparators are independent of the input configuration. SN with a minimal number of comparators results in an optimal manner to sort data; it is a classical NP-hard problem s...
