VEF Traces: A Framework for Modelling MPI Traffic in Interconnection Network Simulators
2015
Simulation is often used to evaluate the behaviour and measure the performance of computing systems. Specifically, in high-performance interconnection networks, the simulation has been extensively considered to verify the behaviour of the network itself and to evaluate its performance. In this context, network simulation must be fed with network traffic, also referred to as network workload, whose nature has been traditionally synthetic. These workloads can be used for the purpose of driving studies on network performance, but often such workloads are not accurate enough if a realistic evaluation is pursued. For this reason, other non-synthetic workloads have gained popularity over last dec…
On the development of a communication-aware task mapping technique
2004
Clusters have become a very cost-effective platform for high-performance computing. In these systems, although currently existing networks actually provide enough bandwidth for the existing applications and workstations, the trend is towards the interconnection network becoming the system bottleneck. Therefore, in the future, scheduling strategies will have to take into account the communication requirements of the applications and the communication bandwidth that the network can offer. One of the key issues in these strategies is the task mapping technique used when the network becomes the system bottleneck.In this paper, we propose a communication-aware mapping technique that tries to mat…
IMFLer: A Web Application for Interactive Metabolic Flux Analysis and Visualization.
2021
Increasing genome-wide data in biological sciences and medicine has contributed to the development of a variety of visualization tools. Several automatic, semiautomatic, and manual visualization tools have already been developed. Some even have integrated flux balance analysis (FBA), but in most cases, it depends on separately installed third party software that is proprietary and does not allow customization of its functionality and has many restrictions for easy data distribution and analysis. In this study, we present an interactive metabolic flux analyzer and visualizer (IMFLer)-a static single-page web application that enables the reading and management of metabolic model layout maps, …
Thermodynamics-based gradient plasticity theories with an application to interface models
2008
AbstractIn the framework of small deformations, the so-called residual-based gradient plasticity theory is reconsidered and improved. Using the notion of moving geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs), suitable micromechanics interpretations are heuristically given for the higher order boundary conditions and the long distance particle interactions. Also, a comparison is made between this theory and the analogous virtual work principle (VWP)-based one, whereby their respective conceptual and methodological features are pointed out. The conditions under which the two theories lead to a same constitutive model are investigated, showing that, correspondingly, a certain indeterminacy exhibi…
Un élément fini mixte tridimensionnel pour le calcul des contraintes d'interface
1999
ABSTRACT In this paper we present an interfacial finite element designed for analysing planar interfaces in a three-dimensional approach. The element is derived from Hellinger-Reissner's mixed variational principle and takes into account the continuity of the displacement and of the transverse stress components through the interface. Stress analysis of a sandwich plate is made to assess the validity and the effectiveness of the element models, with comparisons to closed-form and numerical solutions.
Monte Carlo evaluation of kerma in an HDR brachytherapy bunker
2004
In recent years, the use of high dose rate (HDR) after-loader machines has greatly increased due to the shift from traditional Cs-137/Ir-192 low dose rate (LDR) to HDR brachytherapy. The method used to calculate the required concrete and, where appropriate, lead shielding in the door is based on analytical methods provided by documents published by the ICRP, the IAEA and the NCRP. The purpose of this study is to perform a more realistic kerma evaluation at the entrance maze door of an HDR bunker using the Monte Carlo code GEANT4. The Monte Carlo results were validated experimentally. The spectrum at the maze entrance door, obtained with Monte Carlo, has an average energy of about 110 keV, m…
Anisotropy Influences on the Drug Delivery Mechanisms by Means of Joint Invariant Functions
2017
In the frame of Higuchi’s type functionality, this paper presents the anisotropy influences on the drug delivery mechanisms through the joint invariant functions to the simultaneous actions of the two SL(2R) isomorphic groups. Then, a new equation for drug delivery mechanism, independent of the type of polymer matrix and/or drug, is proposed.

We characterize thus-far elusive domain rearrangements of a calcium-transporting ATPase in the native membrane.
Mesoscopic organization in ionic liquids.
2017
We discuss some published results and provide new observations concerning the high level of structural complexity that lies behind the nanoscale correlations in ionic liquids (ILs) and their mixtures with molecular liquids. It turns out that this organization is a consequence of the hierarchical construction on both spatial (from ångström to several nanometer) and temporal (from fraction of picosecond to hundreds of nanosecond) scales, which requires joint use of experimental and computational tools. © 2017, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
