Simulation-based performance prediction has been an active research topic for many years and is now applied for industrial test-cases in all fields of computational mechanics. However, classical methods developed in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or Computational Structural Mechanics (CSM) usually assume a perfect knowledge of the parameters of the system studied, such as geometry, operatio...

Computing has become an indispensable component of modern science and engineering research. This may be viewed as a natural legacy of Moore’s Law. As has been repeatedly observed and documented, processing speed measured in floating point operations per second has experienced exponential growth for several decades. To a large degree, hardware efficiencies have been accompanied by innovations in...

Ongoing investigations for the improvement of Geant4 accuracy and computational performance resulting by refactoring and reengineering parts of the code are discussed. Issues in refactoring that are specific to the domain of physics simulation are identified and their impact is elucidated. Preliminary quantitative results are reported.

INTRODUCTION The U.S. Department of Energy’s Carbon Capture Simulation Initiative (CCSI) was initiated in 2010 to develop and deploy state-of-the-art computational modeling and simulation tools to accelerate the development of carbon capture technology. Recently, the first components of the CCSI Toolset have been deployed and demonstrated for the design and optimization of postcombustion solid ...

Multi-agent coordination is essential to success in the robot soccer domain. This paper outlines the UQ RoboRoos entry in RoboCup ’98 and provides details of the multi-robot coordination system. The system is based on the superposition of potential fields. A control study shows that the RoboRoos improve their performance by over 100% with the addition of the coordination

The notion of partial metric space [1], represented by the abbreviation PMS, departs from the usual metric spaces due to removing the assumption of self-distance. In other words, in PMS self-distance needs not to be zero. This interesting distance function is defined by Matthews [1], as a generalization metric to study in computer science, in particular, to get a more efficient programs in comp...
