1 Introduction Traditionally, the bulk of large scale scientific and engineering computations were performed on large specialized Supercomputers. In the last seven years, RISC based workstation technology has largely supplanted the Supercomputing market. Using techniques such as workstation clustering, wide classes of problems have been successfully attacked. Workstation clusters are networked ...

Making the PACS workstation a browser of image processing software: a feasibility study using inter-process communication techniques, 2010, International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, (5), 4, 411-419. Purpose: To enhance the functional expandability of a PACS workstation and to facilitate the integration of third-part image-processing modules, we propose a browser-server s...

We study a problem related to the optimal design of a transfer line. The line is to be used for a mass production of a single machine component, which requires a given set of operations to be performed. The line is a sequence of workstations, which number has to be decided, and each workstation has to be assigned a number of processing modules (blocks). A set of available blocks is given. There...

We derive guidelines for nearly optimally scheduling data-parallel computations within a draconian mode of cycle-stealing in NOWs. In this computing regimen, workstation A takes control of workstation B’s processor whenever B is idle, with the promise of relinquishing control immediately upon demand—thereby losing work in progress. The typically high communication overhead for supplying worksta...

This paper address a special class of generalized assembly line balancing in which it is assumed that there are two groups of workers: skilled and unskilled ones. The skilled workers are hired permanently while the unskilled ones can be hired temporarily in order to meet the seasonal demands. It is also assumed that more than one worker may be assigned to each workstation. To show the adv...

PURPOSE Conventional computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard method for case planning for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). However, aortography with a marking catheter is needed for measuring the actual length of an aneurysm. With advances in imaging technology, a 3-dimensional (3D) workstation can obviate the need for the aortography. The objective of this study was to determi...

Integration of digital stereo images into GIS databases offers new possibilities for the end-users. This paper studies the requirements of astereo workstation needed in this utilization. The basic requirements of a stereo workstation are the capability for stereoscopic viewing and possibility to do precise 3D measurements. Especially in the GIS environment the demand to display and edit vector ...
