In several applications, the trajectory of an entity, a feature or an object has to be tracked over a sequence of image frames. When the processing is to be performed in real time, there are important constraints leading...

The growing importance and interest in parallel processing within Computer Sciences are undeniable, and thus make it one of the more influencing areas of this discipline. Several reasons support this fact, such as the in...

The algorithmical architecture and structure is presented for the parallelization of image similarity analysis, based on obtaining multiple digital signatures for each image, in which each "signature" is composed by the ...

The development of parallel algorithms for an automatic recognition and classification of objects from an industrial line (either production or packaging) is presented. This kind of problem introduces a temporal restrict...

Evolutionary computation (EC) has been recently recognized as a research field, which studies a new type of algorithms: Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs). These algorithms process populations of solutions as opposed to most ...

In this paper, an analysis of the 4-(N2-1) Puzzle, which is a generalization of the (N2-1) Puzzle, is presented. This problem is of interest due to its algorithmic and computational complexity and its applications to rob...

Migration of individuals allows a fruitful interaction between subpopulations in the island model, a well known distributed approach for evolutionary computing, where separate subpopulations evolve in parallel. This mode...

This paper analyzes the dynamic and static balancing of non-homogenous cluster architectures, simultaneously analyzing the theoretical parallel Speedup as well as the Speedup experimentally obtained. Three interconnected...

In this book the authors present a complete state-of-the art in the field. Then they give an overall vision about the diverse varieties of MOEAs (Multi-Objetive Evolutionary Algorithms) and their performance. Important a...

Molecular simulation is an extremely useful, but computationally very expensive tool for studies of chemical and biomolecular systems. Here, we present a new implementation of our molecular simulation toolkit GROMACS whi...

GROMACS is one of the most widely used open-source and free software codes in chemistry, used primarily for dynamical simulations of biomolecules. It provides a rich set of calculation types, preparation and analysis too...

The Web has became an obiquitous resource for distributed computing making it relevant to investigate new ways of providing efficient access to services available at dedicated sites. Efficiency is an ever-increasing dema...

Fast response, storage efficiency, fault tolerance and graceful degradation in face of scarce or spurious inputs make neural networks appropiate tools for Intelligent Computer Systems. But on the other hand, learning alg...

The parallel computing model used in this paper, the Collective Computing Model (CCM), is a variant of the well-known Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model. The synchronicity imposed by the BSP model restricts the set of...

Since the classical molecular dynamics simulator LAMMPS was released as an open source code in 2004, it has become a widely-used tool for particle-based modeling of materials at length scales ranging from atomic to mesos...

Current performance prediction analytical models try to characterize the performance behavior of actual machines through a small set of parameters. Due to different factors, the predicted times suffer substantial deviati...

Parallel computing on networks of workstations are intensively used in some application areas such as linear algebra operations. Topics such as processing as well as communication hardware heterogeneity are considered so...

Processor and network management have a great impact on the performance of Distributed Memory Parallel Computers. Dynamic Process Migration allows load balancing and communication balancing at execution time. Managing th...

Since its introduction in 2001, MrBayes has grown in popularity as a software package for Bayesian phylogenetic inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. With this note, we announce the release of version ...

NAMD is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems. NAMD scales to hundreds of processors on high-end parallel platforms, as well as tens of processors on lo...

InfiniBand (IBA) technology was developed to address the performance issues associated with messages movement among Endnodes and computer I/O devices. However, InfiniBand is also widely deployed within high performance c...

A new software suite, called Crystallography & NMR System (CNS), has been developed for macromolecular structure determination by X-ray crystallography or solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In contra...
