The paper presents a web prototype that visualises different characteristics of research projects in the heterogeneous domain of educational research. The concept of the application derives from the project “Monitoring Educational Research” (MoBi) that aims at identifying and implementing indicators that adequately describe structural properties and dynamics of the research field. The prototype...

In this paper we describe the speaker identification feature of the BBC World Service Archive prototype, an experiment run by BBC R&D to investigate alternative ways of publishing large radio archives. This feature relies on diarization of individual programmes, supervector-based speaker models, crowdsourcing for speaker identities, and a fast distributed index based on Locality Sensitive Hashi...

Previous implementations of MPICH using the Cray SHMEM interface existed for the Cray T3 series of machines, but these implementations were abandoned after the T3 series was discontinued.

In this paper, we describe a design for MPI that...
