Infiniviz: Taking Quake 3 Arena on a Large-Scale Display System to the Next Level
2018
The authors of this paper have previously presented a large-scale display system called Infiniviz in other publications. Infiniviz attempts to improve network bandwidth consumption and computational performance compared to other existing large-scale display systems. Since the previous publications have been made in early development stages of Infiniviz, only the overview of the software architecture and details of hardware implementation have been presented so far. This paper contains a real-life test of Infiniviz running Quake 3 Arena at a resolution of 9600 x 5400 at 24 fps. Also, in this paper, the authors have tried to match their results to what has been published by other researchers …
The differences between distributed shared memory caching and proxy caching
2000
The authors discuss the similarities in caching between the extensively studied distributed shared memory systems and the emerging proxy systems. They believe that several of the techniques used in distributed shared memory systems can be adapted and applied to proxy systems.
An Integrated System for Efficient Management of Distribution Networks: The System's Architecture and the Telecommunication Infrastructure
2006
Modern distribution systems must keep up with high power quality standards due to the new regulations of the European Community and of the different national legislations. Efficient faults management is one of the basic tasks utilities must accomplish and this objective can be attained if and only if automation is present and efficient diagnostic procedures have been implemented in the centralized or distributed units all over the network. In this paper, the architecture of an integrated system for management of modern distribution systems is presented. The system includes routines for normal on-line optimal operation of distribution systems and for outage management, the latter including f…
Levés par scanner laser et supports numériques pour la documentation de l’archéologie : l’expérience APER à Agrigente
2014
L'articolo raccoglie considerazioni critiche da diversi punti di vista a proposito delle realizzazioni del Progetto APER in materia di rilievi laser scanner e supporti digitali. This article presents observations and analyses of all kinds on what the APER Project has produced in terms of laser scanner surveys and digital aids.
Programming languages for data-Intensive HPC applications: A systematic mapping study
2020
This work is a result of activities from COST Action 10406 High -Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications (cHiPSet), funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology. FCT, Portugal for grants: NOVA LINCS Research Laboratory Ref. UID/ CEC/ 04516/ 2019); INESC-ID Ref. UID/CEC/50021/2019; BioISI Ref. UID/MULTI/04046/2103; LASIGE Research Unit Ref. UID/CEC/00408/ 2019. A major challenge in modelling and simulation is the need to combine expertise in both software technologies and a given scientific domain. When High-Performance Computing (HPC) is required to solve a scientific problem, software development becomes a problematic issue. Considering the complexity…
Models of Event Driven Systems
2016
This paper provides the business process modeling approach based on usage of Domain Specific Languages (DSL). The proposed approach allows us to create executable information systems’ models and extends the concept of Event Driven Architecture (EDA) with the business process execution description. It lets us apply principles of the Model Driven Development (MDD) in order to create the information system which complies with the model. The proposed approach provides a set of advantages in information systems development, use and maintenance: bridges the gap between business and IT, an exact specification, which is easily to implement into information system, up-to-date documentation etc. The …
Concrete syntax-based find for graphical DSLs
2020
There are services available in the most software tools we have got used to like, copy, paste, cut, find, and replace. However, the state of the art is not so good with tools of graphical languages. Even many commercial modelling tools have limited support of the find feature. We propose to add find as a service of graphical DSL tool development frameworks. This way find is available in any DSL built using the DSL tool development framework. The concrete syntax-based find has been implemented as a service of the DSL tool development framework ajoo. Two graph-based languages: UML Activity diagrams and Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) transition diagrams are used to demonstrate usage of th…
Reversible Doctrine : essays on the unstable discipline of architectural design
2016
Il libro affronta il tema dellareversibilità della disciplina della progettazione architettonica. E' basato sull'assunto che il pensiero intorno all'architettura sia complesso e instabile. Lo studio spazia tra i poli estremi del pensiero architettonico. Da un lato mira a descrivere la reversibilità dell'architettura e, dall'altro lato, riconsidera criticamente alcuni fondamentali del pensiero architettonico. In realtà nonostante l'apologia per l'instabilità il libro si focalizza su alcuni "strumenti del pensiero" ed il modo con il quale sono stati usati all'interno della teoria dell'architettura. In questa vicenda l'impatto del pensiero cartesiano sul modo di intendere il progetto di archit…
Il Disegno sostenibile ante litteram dell’architettura: la “Casa a ville sovrapposte” di Figini e Pollini a Milano
2022
Can drawing be taken as an exploratory key to study a symbolic building of Italian Rationalism? This paper will attempt to do so on the Casa a ville sovrapposte in Via dell'Annunciata in Milan, designed by Figini and Pollini in the 1930s. This famous building could constitute the reversal of the established paradigm according to which rationalist buildings are always detached from the urban context of which they are part. The use of drawing as a cognitive tool can help us decode the complex of different instances underlying the design of this emblematic building of the early 20th century in Italy, including the designers’ intention to integrate nature into living, almost in an ante litteram…
Graphic readings and digital configurations: Akragas, Girgenti and Agrigento
2018
The study deals with a graphic analysis of the city of Agrigento through the identification of the territorial, urban and architectural peculiarities that have designed its evolution. Starting from the landscape representations realized since the sixteenth century, the views from the sea by Spannocchi, the glances on the apric territory by Pancrazi, the Hellenic ruins inside the medieval Girgenti by Martorana and the Grand Tour travelers’ productions, the urban transformations of Agrigento are reconstructed starting from the points of view adopted by the draftsmen. The aim is to provide a description through images of the multiple points of view with respect to which the territory has been …
