A Parallel Approach for Statistical Texture Parameter Calculation

2014

This chapter focusses on the development of a new image processing technique for the processing of large and complex images, especially SAR images. We propose here a new and effective approach that outperforms the existing methods for the calculation of high order textural parameters. With a single processor, this approach is about \(256^{n-1}\) times faster than the co-occurrence matrix approach considered as classical, where \(n\) is the order of the textural parameter for a 256-gray scales image. In a parallel environment made of N processor, this performance can almost be multiply by the factor N. Our approach is based on a new modeling of textural parameters of a generic order \(n>1\) …

Imaginary time propagation code for large-scale two-dimensional eigenvalue problems in magnetic fields

2013

We present a code for solving the single-particle, time-independent Schr\"odinger equation in two dimensions. Our program utilizes the imaginary time propagation (ITP) algorithm, and it includes the most recent developments in the ITP method: the arbitrary order operator factorization and the exact inclusion of a (possibly very strong) magnetic field. Our program is able to solve thousands of eigenstates of a two-dimensional quantum system in reasonable time with commonly available hardware. The main motivation behind our work is to allow the study of highly excited states and energy spectra of two-dimensional quantum dots and billiard systems with a single versatile code, e.g., in quantum …

Bill2d - a software package for classical two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems

2015

Abstract We present Bill2d , a modern and efficient C++ package for classical simulations of two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. Bill2d can be used for various billiard and diffusion problems with one or more charged particles with interactions, different external potentials, an external magnetic field, periodic and open boundaries, etc. The software package can also calculate many key quantities in complex systems such as Poincare sections, survival probabilities, and diffusion coefficients. While aiming at a large class of applicable systems, the code also strives for ease-of-use, efficiency, and modularity for the implementation of additional features. The package comes along with a use…

Big Data in Medical Science–a Biostatistical View

2015

Big data” is a universal buzzword in business and science, referring to the retrieval and handling of ever-growing amounts of information. It can be assumed, for example, that a typical hospital generates hundreds of terabytes (1 TB = 1012 bytes) of data annually in the course of patient care (1). For instance, exome sequencing, which results in 5 gigabytes (1 GB = 109 bytes) of data per patient, is on the way to becoming routine (2). The analysis of such enormous volumes of information, i.e., organization and description of the data and the drawing of (scientifically valid) conclusions, can already hardly be accomplished with the traditional tools of computer science and statistics. For ex…

IBM Intelligent Bricks project—Petabytes and beyond

2006

This paper provides an overview of the Intelligent Bricks project in progress at IBM Research. It describes common problems faced by data center operators and proposes a comprehensive solution based on brick architectures. Bricks are hardware building blocks. Because of certain properties, defined here, scalable and reliable systems can be built with collections of identical bricks. An important feature is that brick-based systems must survive the failure of any brick without requiring human intervention, as long as most bricks are operational. This simplifies system management and allows very dense and very scalable systems to be built. A prototype storage server in the form of a 3 × 3 × 3…

Apocryphal Passions of the Apostles in Croatian Glagolitic Texts

2020

In the course of the Middle Ages, apocryphal and hagiographic texts of The Acts of the Apostles of various origins became part of the Croatian Glagolitic literature. The Passion of Saint Andrew, for example, is documented in the sanctorale of nineteen Croatian Glagolitic breviaries dating from the period between the 14th and mid-16th centuries. The Glagolitic Passion is an abbreviated translation of the Latin Epistula presbyterorum et diaconorum Achaiae (BHL 428) from the 6th century. The texts of the Passion of Jamesthe Apostle (Jacobus Maior, apost., filius Zebedaei, frater Johannis, Passio, BHL 4057) are found in two Glagolitic breviaries, namely the Breviary of Vitus of Omi?alj (1396) a…

Święcenia prezbiteratu w Kościołach syryjskich. Historia i struktura obrzędu

2018

Sakrament święceń należy do depozytu najistotniejszych misteriów pozostawionych Kościołowi przez Jezusa Chrystusa. Przekazywana w nim sukcesja apostolska jest gwarantem ciągłości tradycji i prawdziwości chrześcijańskiego kultu, skoncentrowanego na wciąż przychodzącym, dzięki posłudze ołtarza, Panu. Chociaż wynikające ze święceń funkcje są wspólne całemu Kościołowi, to jednak różne tradycje liturgiczne wypracowały własne rozumienie tegoż sakramentu i związanej z nim posługi. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi refleksję nad istotą kapłaństwa w stopniu prezbitera w przestrzeni liturgicznej Kościołów syryjskich. Autor wychodzi od prezentacji rozumienia sakramentu oraz jego trwałości i obowiązywalności, …

Il piccolo nel grande, il grande nel piccolo. Gli adeguamenti liturgici di Culotta e Leone The small in the big, the big in the small. Culotta and Le…

2015

Una esplorazione degli adeguamenti liturgici di Pasquale Culotta e Giuseppe Leone conduce a comprendere in che modo la loro riflessione sulle architetture per il culto cristiano cattolico sia parte integrante della sperimentazione progettuale incentrata sul rapporto architettura-città. Nel saggio si specifica in cosa consista il lavoro di adeguamento rispetto alle indicazioni formulate nel Concilio Ecumenico Vaticano II (1963). Ci si sofferma sulle peculiarità della liturgia rinnovata: il valore "processionale" dello spazio ecclesiale e la relazione immanente-trascendente, a scala architettonica e urbana. In seguito si approfondiscono, "caso per caso", la riconfigurazione dell'ambone del Du…

Feasibility of FPGA accelerated IPsec on cloud

2018

Abstract Hardware acceleration for famous VPN solution, IPsec, has been widely researched already. Still it is not fully covered and the increasing latency, throughput, and feature requirements need further evaluation. We propose an IPsec accelerator architecture in an FPGA and explain the details that need to be considered for a production ready design. This research considers the IPsec packet processing without IKE to be offloaded on an FPGA in an SDN network. Related work performance rates in 64 byte packet size for throughput is 1–2 Gbps with 0.2 ms latency in software, and 1–4 Gbps with unknown latencies for hardware solutions. Our proposed architecture is capable to host 1000 concurre…
