Sabratha. A guide to the studies and investigations of the past 50 years

2017

This volume, not a simple archaeological guide, adds to the description of the monuments and museums of Sabratha also some reflections on general themes as sculpture, urban developement, religious architecture, civic and domestic buildings, paintings and mosaics of the punico-hellenistic, Roman and Christian Sabratha. It also gives account of the researches of the Archaeological Mission of the Palermo University, directed by the late Professor Nicola Bonacasa, and it includes the contribution of external scholars, which very recently published some monuments of great interest.

Sabratha. Riflessioni sull'urbanistica e sull'architettura religiosa della città punico-romana

2016

L'architettura religiosa di Sabratha è indagata tenendo conto tanto del contesto urbanistico nel quale sono inseriti gli edifici sacri quanto del contesto storico e religioso. L'indagine muove da una riflessioni sulle origini dell'emporio punico nel corso del quale si rivedono alcune ipotesi concernenti le principali divinità cittadine. Stante la sostanziale assenza delle massime divinità di Cartagine, emerge anche una certa autonomia, non priva di risvolti politici, del pantheon sabrathense da quello della capitale punica. La stessa dea Tanit è nota solo dal tophet, quindi conta attestazioni relativamente recenti, ben lontane dai tempi della fondazione degli emporia, che le fonti letterari…

Madonie, L'arte e la storia

2021

Il volume esamina il patrimonio storico artistico dei seguenti paesi delle Madonie: Caltavuturo, Castelbuono, Cefalù, Collesano, Geraci Siculo, Gangi, Gratteri, Isnello, Petralia Soprana, Petralia Sottana, Polizzi Generosa, Pollina, San Mauro Castelverde e Sclafani Bagni. Per ogni singolo borgo si affronta brevemente la storia della città e successivamente si esaminano le chiese e le opere d’arte ivi contenute, iniziando dalla Chiesa Madre o dalla Basilica per poi continuare con gli altri edifici chiesastici e i palazzi nobiliari. Particolare attenzione viene riservata all’architettura, come le chiese medievali e rinascimentali di Castelbuono, Gratteri e Isnello o quelle barocche e rococò d…

Salvatore Boscarino : la didattica e il dibattito sul restauro dei monumenti in Italia (1975-2000)

2018

Il volume Salvatore Boscarino La didattica e il dibattito sul Restauro dei Monumenti in Italia 1975-2000 vuole sintetizzare il proficuo dibattito intercorso fra i docenti di Restauro dei Monumenti in Italia, nel periodo compreso fra il 1975 e la fine del Ventesimo secolo, e sottolineare l’impegno, anche nella didattica, di uno dei suoi protagonisti: Salvatore Boscarino (1925-2001). La ricerca, temporalmente inscritta tra l’anno 1975 (anno della vincita del concorso per professore ordinario di Restauro dei monumenti di Boscarino) e il 1998 (anno in cui Boscarino seguì la sua ultima tesi di laurea a Palermo), quale concatenazione di più temi, riferisce sul dibattito fra gli stessi docenti di …

Navegando hacia Italia. El Reino de Cerdeña en el escenario político resultante de los tratados de Utrecht – Rastatt

2014

En 1713 finalizaba la administración de Carlos VI, ejercida desde Barcelona; por ello las disposiciones de gobierno, que habían llegado a la isla desde la capital catalana, dejaban de hacerlo. Con la institución en Viena, en 1714, del Consejo de España, los referentes territoriales y políticos del reino sardo serán sobre todo: Milán o Nápoles; con el espacio italiano ampliará sus lazos, sustituyendo aquellos que durante siglos había mantenido con los territorios ibéricos. Paralelamente Cerdeña pasaba a ser moneda de cambio en la búsqueda de un nuevo equilibrio territorial y político. La sombra imperial la mantuvo a salvo en Utrecht. Sin embargo la ruptura de ese equilibrio por parte de Feli…

Large-scale genome-wide association studies on a GPU cluster using a CUDA-accelerated PGAS programming model

2015

[Abstract] Detecting epistasis, such as 2-SNP interactions, in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is an important but time consuming operation. Consequently, GPUs have already been used to accelerate these studies, reducing the runtime for moderately-sized datasets to less than 1 hour. However, single-GPU approaches cannot perform large-scale GWAS in reasonable time. In this work we present multiEpistSearch, a tool to detect epistasis that works on GPU clusters. While CUDA is used for parallelization within each GPU, the workload distribution among GPUs is performed with Unified Parallel C++ (UPC++), a novel extension of C++ that follows the Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) model…

A new heterogeneous and reconfigurable architecture for image analysis

1993

In the paper a new architecture for image analysis: HERMIA (Heterogeneous and Reconfigurable Machine for Image Analysis) is presented. It has bt:en developed at the University of Palermo, inside the Progetto Finalizzato of the ltalian Council of Researches (CNR): Sistemi informatici e Calcolo Parallelo. The architecture of the HERMIA-machine is reconfigurable, moreover the integration of heterogeneous module, oriented to the solution of specific problems, allows to salve complex problems by search of optimal strategies. Signa! processing units allows the user to handle and integrate multi-sensors signals (from video, scanner, music recorder). Here the generai architecture, the hardware impl…

Performance Analysis of M-DPSK Modulation over Fast-Hoyt Fading Channels under Non-Isotropic Scattering Conditions

2021

In this paper, we analyze the symbol error probability (SEP) performance of M-ary differential phase shift keying (M-DPSK) modulation schemes over frequency-flat fast-varying Hoyt multipath fading channels. Assuming general non-isotropic scattering conditions, we first derive a finite-range integral expression for the probability density function (PDF) of the phase difference between two non-isotropic Hoyt vectors perturbed by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Based upon the theory of M-DPSK modulation and the obtained PDF formula, the SEP of M-DPSK and its corresponding asymptotic behavior in non-isotropic fast-Hoyt fading channels are derived. Specifically, a double semi-finite range …

Checkpointing Workflows for Fail-Stop Errors

2017

International audience; We consider the problem of orchestrating the exe- cution of workflow applications structured as Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) on parallel computing platforms that are subject to fail-stop failures. The objective is to minimize expected overall execution time, or makespan. A solution to this problem consists of a schedule of the workflow tasks on the available processors and of a decision of which application data to checkpoint to stable storage, so as to mitigate the impact of processor failures. For general DAGs this problem is hopelessly intractable. In fact, given a solution, computing its expected makespan is still a difficult problem. To address this challenge,…
