in the real world there are groups which composed of independent units. the conventional data envelopment analysis(dea) model treats groups as units, ignoring the operation of individual units within each group.the current paper, investigates parallel system network approach proposed by kao and modifies it. as modied kao' model is more eligible to recognize ecient groups, a new ranking m...

in an international connection which different factors of legal relation were spread in different countries, bringing of several actions with the same object in different countries court was completely probable. each party with various reasons seeks litigation in a court which provides their interest in better way. however parallel litigation in it he same object impose burdensome charges on li...

The numerical solution of 3D linear elasticity equations is considered. The problem is described by a coupled system of second-order elliptic partial differential equations. This system is discretized by trilinear brick finite elements. The PCG iterative method is used for solving the large-scale linear algebraic systems arising after the FEM discretization of the problem. Displacement decompos...

Operating systems research for many-core systems has recently focused its efforts on supporting the scalability of OS-intensive applications running on increasingly parallel hardware. Lost amidst the march towards this parallel future is efficiency: Perfectly parallel software may saturate the parallel capabilities of the host system, but in doing so can waste hardware resources. This paper des...

Fuzzy set based methods have been proved to be effective in handling many types of uncertainties in different fields, including reliability engineering. This paper presents a new approach on fuzzy reliability, based on the use of beta type distribution as membership function. Considering experts' ideas and by asking operators linguistic variables, a rule base is designed to determine the level ...

The paper describes a parallel implementation of a neural algorithm performing vector quantization for very low bit-rate video compression on toroidal-mesh multiprocessor systems. The neural model considered is a plastic version of the Neural Gas algorithm, whose features are suitable for implementations on toroidal mesh topologies. The architecture adopted, and the data-allocation strategy, en...

In order for parallel logic programming systems to become popular, they should serve the broadest range of applications. To achieve this goal, designers of parallel logic programming systems would like to exploit maximum parallelism for existing and novel applications, ideally by supporting both and-parallelism and or-parallelism. Unfortunately, the combination of both forms of parallelism is a...

Computer simulations are alternatives to the scientific method in domains where physical experiments are unfeasible or impossible. When the amount of memory and processing speed required is large, simulations are executed in distributed memory High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. These systems are usually shared among its users. A resource manager with a batch scheduler is used to fairly a...
