چکیده
This paper presents a low-communication overhead and highperformance data parallelism implementation of the Everglades Landscape Fire Model (ELFM) in a network of workstations (NOWs). Checkpointing and rollback techniques were used to handle the spread of fire which is a dynamic and irregular component of the model. A synchronous checkpointing mechanism was used in the parallel ELFM code using Message Passing Interface (MPI). The speedup and performance of the parallel program were also studied. Results show that the performance of ELFM using MPI is significantly enhanced by using the checkpointing and rollback mechanisms.

متن کاملPredicting and preparing a risk map of rangeland fires using random forest algorithms and support vector machine (Case study: Arak rangelands)
Abstract Background and objectives: Rangeland fires have devastating effects on the landscape, performance and services of rangeland ecosystems. Despite the efforts of experts, decision makers, stakeholders and government agencies in recent decades to reduce the effects of fire, its number and related economic and human losses are increasing worldwide. One of the most important measures to r...
متن کاملRole of STDP in regulation of neural timing networks in human: a simulation study
Many physiological events require an accurate timing signal, usually generated by neural networks called central pattern generators (CPGs). On the other hand, properties of neurons and neural networks (e.g. time constants of neurons and weights of network connections) alter with time, resulting in gradual changes in timing of such networks. Recently, a synaptic weight adjustment mechanism has b...

The forward kinematic problem of parallel robots is always considered as a challenge in the field of parallel robots due to the obtained nonlinear system of equations. In this paper, the forward kinematic problem of planar parallel robots in their workspace is investigated using a neural network based approach. In order to increase the accuracy of this method, the workspace of the parallel robo...
