Nowadays, speech interfaces have become widely employed in mobile devices, thus recognition speed and power consumption are becoming new metrics of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) performance. For ASR systems using continuous Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), the computation of the state likelihood is one of the most time consuming parts. Hence, we propose in this paper novel multi-level Gaussian...

Flexible flow shop (or a hybrid flow shop) scheduling problem is an extension of classical flow shop scheduling problem. In a simple flow shop configuration, a job having ‘g’ operations is performed on ‘g’ operation centres (stages) with each stage having only one machine. If any stage contains more than one machine for providing alternate processing facility, then the problem...

Summary: LeoTask is a Java library for computation-intensive and time-consuming research tasks. It automatically executes tasks in parallel on multiple CPU cores on a computing facility. It uses a configuration file to enable automatic exploration of parameter space and flexible aggregation of results, and therefore allows researchers to focus on programming the key logic of a computing task. I...

Visualization of high-dimensional and time-dependent data, resulting from computational simulation, is a very challenging and resource-consuming task. Here, featurebased visualization approaches, which aim at a usercontrolled reduction of the data shown at one instance of time, proof to be useful. In this paper, we present a framework for interactive highdimensional visualization and feature sp...

-The clinical use of the radiosensitizer misonidazole may be limited by the incidence of peripheral neuropathy reported following total doses in excess of 18 g. A recent report noted a decrease in nerve conduction velocity following a single i.p. injection of 1 mg/g misonidazole to mice. The present study was unable to confirm such changes when nerve conduction velocity measurements were made i...

Real-time computing systems are defined as those systems subjected to timing constraints. In those systems, results must be not only logically correct but they also must be generated at the right moment. A basic problem one finds when building a distributed real time system is the allocation and scheduling of tasks on the available computing resources. There is an intrinsic difficulty in simult...

This article surveys the relationship between computation and physics. It describes the past, present and future of how numerical data for scientiic computation is represented, manipulated and extracted from physical computing devices. Aspects of the theory of computation, computational complexity, computational physics and quantum computation are discussed, towards the end of understanding how...
