چکیده

We introduce VLADYMIR, a matrix library that permits the development of array-based code in C++. It is especially useful for numerical simulation tasks and parallelises automatically, without any need for parallelisation-specific instructions. Thanks to the underlying data-parallel model, it shows up an excellent scalability, even on large parallel machines. VLADYMIR has been successfully tested so far on simulations of physical systems by cellular automata and lattice Boltzmann models. In this paper, an application to emboli detection in medical physics is presented. Occurrence of emboli in the brain presents a risk for cardio-vascular accidents, which one tries to avoid by ultrasonography methods. Simulations using lattice Boltzmann methods help to analyse the interaction of an embolus with ultrasounds and lead towards a better understanding of the structure of the signal in ultrasonography measurements.

Declarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey

One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...

OBP Lib: An Object-Oriented Parallel Library and its Preliminary Performance

OBP Lib (Object-Oriented Building Blocks in Parallel Programming) is a collection of parallel object classes including parallel array and matrix/vector classes in C ++ , which is useful for combining numeric algorithm templates libraries. The OBP Lib allows us to express parallel programs using parallel objects such as arrays and matrices, and still to hide the details of parallel programs. The...

Availability evaluation of Software architecture of object oriented Style using coloured Petri nets

Software architecture is one of the most fundamental products in the process of software development in the areas of behavioral or non- behavioral features like availability or transformability change. There are different ways to evaluate software architecture one of which is the creation of application model. An executable model of software architecture is an official description of architectu...

On Attributes of Objects in Object-Oriented Software Analysis

One of the modern paradigms to develop a system is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. There is a sequence of activities to develop an analysis model. In the first step, we work in developing an initial use case model. Then in the second step, they identify a number of concepts and build a glossary of partic...

Developing object-oriented parallel iterative methods

In this paper, we describe our work developing an object-oriented parallel toolkit on OO-MPI. We are developing a parallelised implementation of the multi-view tomography toolbox, an iterative solver for a range of tomography problems. The code is developed in object-oriented C++. The MVT toolbox is presently used by researchers in the field of tomography to solve linear and non-linear forward ...
