This paper describes the environment for developing and executing Warp* programs. The center of the program development environment is a customized shell that ties together a compiler for the Warp array, the Warp run-time system, and a debugger. The compiler translates high-level language programs to microcode for the Warp machine. It achieves a high utilization of the computation power of the ...

Collagen VI and WARP are extracellular structural macromolecules present in cartilage and associated with BM suprastructures in non-skeletal tissues. We have previously shown that in WARP-deficient mice, collagen VI is specifically reduced in regions of the peripheral nerve ECM where WARP is expressed, suggesting that both macromolecules are part of the same suprastructure. The object of this s...

Two studies were performed to characterize and control warp in nominal 2by 4-in. (standard 38by 89-mm) dimension lumber sawn from small-diameter ponderosa pine trees. One study was conducted at a commercial sawmill with trees harvested in central Arizona. The other study was conducted at the USDA Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, in small experimental kilns with lu...

Standard Free-Form Deformations (FFD) built upon tensor-product B-Splines have been proved useful to model the warp between two views of a deformable surface. In this paper, we show that the standard FFD is the affine projection of a threedimensional tensor-product B-Spline surface. We construct a new tensor-product warp relying on Non-Uniform Cubic B-Spline: the NURBS-Warp. We show that this n...

A novel warp for natural image stitching is proposed that utilizes the property of cylindrical warp and a horizontal pixel selection strategy. The proposed ratio-preserving halfcylindrical warp is a combination of homography and cylindrical warps which guarantees alignment by homography and possesses less projective distortion by cylindrical warp. Unlike previous approaches applying cylindrical...

BACKGROUND Von Willebrand A domain Related Protein (WARP), is a recently identified extracellular matrix protein. Based upon its involvement in matrix biology and its expression in the heart, we hypothesized that WARP regulates cardiac remodeling processes in the post-infarct healing process. METHODS AND RESULTS In the mouse model of myocardial infarction (MI), WARP expression increased in th...

Time warp is a well-known optimistic mechanism for parallel execution of simulation programs. Implementing time warp using a connection-oriented communication approach is proposed in the literature as a way to improve time warp performance because it allows for the use of more efficient event queue implementations. However, no empirical performance studies have been reported for connection-orie...

High single instruction multiple data (SIMD) efficiency and low power consumption have made graphic processing units (GPUs) an ideal platform for many complex computational applications. Thousands of threads can be created by programmers and grouped into fixed-size SIMD batches, known as warps. High throughput is then achieved by concurrently executing such warps with minimal control overhead. ...

We investigate the dynamical interaction of galactic warps with the surrounding dark matter halo, using analytic perturbation theory. A precessing warp induces a density wake in the collisionless dark matter, which acts back on the original warp, transferring energy and angular momentum between the warp and halo (dynamical friction). In most cases dynamical friction damps the warp, but in unusu...
