چکیده
This paper presents a preliminary experimental study of the performance of basic sparse matrix computations on the CM-200 and the CM-5. We concentrate on examining various ways of performing general sparse matrix-vector operations and the basic primitives on which these are based. We compare various data structures for storing sparse matrices and their corresponding matrix – vector operations. Both SPMD and Data parallel modes are examined and a comparison of the two modes is made.

SIMD computers are a class of massively parallel computer in which many processors simultaneously execute the same instructions on their own data. This paper briefly reviews the history of the development of SIMD computers, and gives an overview of the state of the art in SIMD computers by comparing the origins, hardware, software, performance, price and marketing of three commercially availabl...
متن کاملLimited accuracy of dose calculation for large fields at deep depths using the BrainSCAN v5.21 treatment‐planning system
The Varian 120 multileaf collimator (MLC) has a leaf thickness of 5 mm projected at the isocenter plane and can deliver a radiation beam of large field size (up to 30 cm) to be used in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Often the dose must be delivered to depths greater than 20 cm. Therefore, during the commissioning of the BrainSCAN v5.21 or any radiation treatment-planning (RTP) systems...
متن کامل- 1 - PERFORMANCE OF THE SHALLOW WATER EQUATIONS ON THE CM - 200 and CM - 5
We describe the implementation of a fluid dynamical benchmark on two Thinking Machines Corporation parallel computers the 65,536 processor CM-200 computer and the 1024-node CM-5 computer. The benchmark, the Shallow Water Equations, is frequently used as a model for both oceanographic and atmospheric circulation. We describe the steps involved in implementing the algorithm on the computers and w...

متن کاملFTIR-Microspectroscopy Detection of Metronidazole Teratogenic Effects on Mice Fetus
Metronidazole is used to treat trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, and other diseases. There are controversy aspects about its teratogenicity. A teratogenic agent can alter morphology or subsequent function of the fetus. The aim of this study was to examine an alternative method for the recognition of the mechanism or the bimolecular potential changes in mice fetus caused by Metronidazole usin...
