The contemporary large scale measuring systems in the real-time environment make extensive use of histogramming as a tool for the experimental data quality monitoring. The processing of a large number of data channels requires a suitable computing power where the graphical processors seem to be well suited. Histogramming operations run on the central and graphics processing units are discussed....

Ragde demonstrated that in constant time a PRAM with n processors can move at most k items, stored in distinct cells of an array of size n, to distinct cells in an array of size at most k 4 • We show that the exponent of 4 in the preceding sentence can be replaced by any constant greater than 2.

IBM System z9 Integrated Information Processors (IBM zIIP) provide very attractive price / performance options for appropriate DB2 environments. They also add complexity to performance management and capacity planning. This paper will discuss sources of data that can be used to estimate the amount of current DB2 workload eligible for zIIP processors. Modeling techniques using that data will sho...

Numerous applications in science and engineering have a problem space that can be represented as a 2-dimensional grid. While some of these problems exhibit uniform computational requirements over all regions of the grid, others are non-uniform: that is, some regions of the grid have more data points than others. We introduce a new block decomposition method, Fair Binary Recursive Decomposition ...

The time efficiency of many storage systems rely critically on the ability to perform a large number of evaluations of certain hashing functions fast enough. The remainder function B mod P , generally applied with a large prime number P , is often used as a building block of such hashing functions, which leads to the need of accelerating remainder evaluations, possibly using parallel processors...

magnetotelluric (mt) method is an important passive surface geophysical method which uses the earth’s natural electromagnetic fields to investigate the electrical resistivity structure of the subsurface. the depth of investigation of mt is much higher than that of other electromagnetic (em) methods (vozoff, 1991). for a general conductivity distribution in the earth, the horizontal electric fie...

introduction: hematology section provides valuable information for diagnosis and treatment of patients to improve the health of them. in this regard hematology information system led to deliver produced information accurately and timely. present study aimed to analyze the situation of hematology information systems in hospital laboratories. methods: in this descriptive study, 13 hematology info...

background and aim: auditory processing disorders may have detrimental consequences on a child’s life, if undiagnosed and untreated. the multiple auditory processing assessment (mapa), as a valid model, has been introduced for central auditory processing assessment and diagnosis in school children. the purpose of this study was to design and evaluate the persian version of mapa for auditory pro...

The hardware portion of a system comprises all physical components, including the central processing unit, memory, motherboard, hard drive, graphics chip, network interface cards, USB and other ports, mouse, keyboard, display and more. The many varied types of hardware components combine to perform just three essential functions: inputting and outputting data (i.e., I/O), processing data, and s...
