The concepts and realization of the medical imaging workstation are described. The following concepts are described: presentation and processing pipeline, resource management (CPU and memory), including caching and antifragmentation strategy, software process decomposition and decomposition rules. The actual realization figures serve as illustration for the justification of some of the concepts...

We investigate the potential of workstation clusters for use in high performance computation for some selected applications. Currently, the network speed found in most of the existing systems is quite low, but higher speed networks are already emerging in the market. We present four parallel algorithms that performed astonishingly well on a cluster of workstations connected by Ethernet. Three o...

BACKGROUND Awareness of effects of long term use of computer and application of ergonomics in the computer workstation is important for preventing musculoskeletal disorders, eyestrain and psychosocial effects. OBJECTIVES To determine the awareness of physical and psychological effects of prolonged computer usage and application of ergonomicsin the workstation. DESIGN One hundred and eighty ...

The growing importance of networked workstations as a computing milieu has created a new modality of parallel computing, namely, the possibility of having one workstation \steal cycles" from another. In a typical episode of cycle-stealing, the owner of workstation B allows the owner of workstation A to take control of B's processor whenever it is idle, with the promise of relinquishing control ...

In the engineering and scientific marketplaces, the workstation-server model of computing is emerging as the standard of the 1990s. Implementing an object-oriented database system in this environment immediately presents the design choice of how to partition database functionality between the server and workstation processor. To better understand the alternatives to this fundamental design deci...

Abstract One of the major challenges in modern buildings is to guarantee healthy indoor air quality and excellent thermal comfort an energy efficient manner. In this study, performance a micro-environment system combined radiant panel convective flow was designed compared all-air diffuse ceiling ventilation (DCV) system. analyzed personalized (PVRP), two local personal terminal devices supplied...

Workstation supercomputers powered by the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5300 series enable users of ESI Group simulation-based design and optimization solutions to dramatically enhance engineering productivity and deliver higher quality designs in less time, while improving the cost-effectiveness and flexibility of the high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. White Paper Quad-Core In...
