User-transparent Distributed TensorFlow

Deep Learning (DL) algorithms have become the de facto choice for data analysis. Several DL implementations – primarily limited to a single compute node – such as Caffe, TensorFlow, Theano and Torch have become readily available. Distributed DL implementations capable of execution on large scale systems are becoming important to address the computational needs of large data produced by scientif...

Passing the Torch

It is with a proud sense of accomplishment that I am sharing with you this last Editorial during my tenure as your Editor-in-Chief. Since January 1, 2007, I have had the honor and privilege of serving as APJM’s first Editor-in-Chief who is based outside of Asia. Now, after nearly three years and hundreds of manuscripts, I am pleased to announce my editorial retirement and introduce to you our n...

Dielectric Strontium Zirconate Sprayed by a Plasma Torch

Amultifunctional material, strontium zirconate, SrZrO3, studied in literatures as a dielectric ceramics, thermal barrier coating, proton-conductor, and luminescent material was sprayed by a water-stabilized plasma torch WSP 500. Stainless steel and plain carbon steel were used as substrates. Coatings with thickness of 1 to 2 mm were produced, whereas the substrates were preheated over 450 °C. T...

Visual Torch Position Control Using Fuzzy-Servoing Controller for Arc Welding Process

In this paper, we propose a fuzzy-servoing controller method for automatic welding. The proposed method uses a vision based arc tracking to find the initial points of the weld seam and to track them without a prior knowledge. Due to a serious melt down in the weld pool during the welding process, the method requires to control the welding torch in two directions, up-down and left-right directio...
