Industrial-scale discrete element simulations typically generate Gigabytes of data per time step, which implies that even opening a single file may require 5 - 15 minutes on conventional magnetic storage devices. Data science’s inherent multi-disciplinary nature makes the extraction useful information challenging, often leading to undiscovered details or new insights. This study explores potent...

This paper presents a technique that allows viewers to visually analyze, explore, and compare a storage controller’s performance. We present an algorithm that visualizes storage controller’s performance metrics along a traditional 2D grid or a linear space-filling spiral. We use graphical “glyphs” (simple geometric objects) that vary in color, spatial placement and texture properties to represe...

The printing plate and its characteristics in the conventional printing techniques have a significant impact on print quality and image appearance. In screen printing, a weave of screen mesh i.e. a number of threads per cm, is the most important characteristic of the printing plate, hence the most relevant factor which defines printing quality. Print quality itself is a complex term that includ...

A nite element method for computational uid dynamics has been implemented on the Connection Machine systems CM-2 and CM-200. An implicit iterative solution strategy, based on the preconditioned matrix-free GMRES algorithm, is employed. Parallel data structures built on both nodal and elemental sets are used to achieve maximum parallelization. Communication primitives provided through the Connec...
