A three dimensional (3D) human modeling program has been developed to work in conjunction with computer aided design software, Autocad. The program allows the creation and manipulation of variable size, 3D human models and provides the flexibility of a professional CAD system. The special features of the program and its application in workstation design are described and illustrated with exampl...

BACKGROUND Excessive sitting time is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease mortality and morbidity independent of physical activity. This aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a sit-stand workstation on sitting time, and vascular, metabolic and musculoskeletal outcomes in office workers, and to investigate workstation acceptability and feasibility. METHODS A two-arm, parallel-gro...

We have ported the MPICH implementation of MPI to the high-performance, multithreaded programming language MPC++. We discuss our modications to the design of MPICH to support multiple threads. MPICH now runs experimentally on top of MPC++ on a Sun workstation cluster connected by Myrinet and achieves higher performance than standard MPICH on Myrinet TCP/IP on the same hardware.

This paper describes the design, prototype implementation, and evaluation of a system architecture for XML offload to a Cell processor-based workstation. This architecture includes a high-performance parser based on a novel enhanced finite state machine technology.

In this paper, we dicuss the the design and implementation of the PFSLib library wich offers the functionality of Intel’s parallel file system PFS. It is intended to be used with parallel programming environments like PVM, P4, and NXLib on workstation clusters. We also present preliminary performance results of PFSLib in comparison to NFS.

In this paper the methodology of firewalled LAN models construction in the form of Colored Petri Net is introduced and model the ACL (Access Control List ) in firewalls as the first form of defense for the simulation and analysis of the model the Design/CPN Tools is used The components of the model are Firewall, Switch, Hub, Server and Workstation.

Recent advantages in network and workstation performance have made clustered computer systems an interesting alternative to massively parallel computers. There are many operating systems, languages, programming environments and tools, used in design, optimization and debugging of parallel programs. This article discusses briefly general issues with cluster SW tools as well as discussing some of...
