Evaluation of a hash-compress-encrypt pipeline for storage system applications
2015
Great efforts are made to store data in a secure, reliable, and authentic way in large storage systems. Specialized, system specific clients help to achieve these goals. Nevertheless, often standard tools for hashing, compressing, and encrypting data are arranged in transparent pipelines. We analyze the potential of Unix shell pipelines with several high-speed and high-compression algorithms that can be used to achieve data security, reduction, and authenticity. Furthermore, we compare the pipelines of standard tools against a house made pipeline implemented in C++ and show that there is great potential for performance improvement.
Modeling of Friction Losses in Offshore Knuckle Boom Crane Winch System
2018
This paper presents a method for friction modeling in a hydraulically actuated multi motor winch system of an offshore knuckle boom crane. The method is based on a combination of a model of the variable displacement axial piston motor based on measurements from the sub supplier, and combined with a model of the remaining friction loss obtained from measurements on the full system.
Random Vibrations of Structures under Propagating Excitations
1995
The problem of vibrations of structures under incoherent or, in particular, propagating excitations is important for large, extended civil engineering structures like bridges, lifelines, dams, offshore structures or for aircraft structures. In seismic engineering spatial ground motion models have been studied for more than a decade but credible, stochastic characteristics are available only since SMART-1 accelerograph array is in operation at Lotung in Taiwan.
A Parallel Face Detection System Implemented on FPGA
2007
In this paper, we introduce a methodology for designing a system for face detection and its implementation on FPGA. The chosen face detection method is the well-known convolutional face finder (CFF) algorithm, which consists in a pipeline of convolutions and subsampling operations. Our goal is to define a parallel architecture able to process efficiently this algorithm. We present a dataflow based architecture algorithm adequation (AAA) methodology implemented using the SynDEx software, in order to find the best compromise between the processing power and functionality requirement of each processor element (PE), and the efficiency of algorithm parallelization. We describe a first implementa…
RNACache: Fast Mapping of RNA-Seq Reads to Transcriptomes Using MinHashing
2021
The alignment of reads to a transcriptome is an important initial step in a variety of bioinformatics RNA-seq pipelines. As traditional alignment-based tools suffer from high runtimes, alternative, alignment-free methods have recently gained increasing importance. We present a novel approach to the detection of local similarities between transcriptomes and RNA-seq reads based on context-aware minhashing. We introduce RNACache, a three-step processing pipeline consisting of minhashing of k-mers, match-based (online) filtering, and coverage-based filtering in order to identify truly expressed transcript isoforms. Our performance evaluation shows that RNACache produces transcriptomic mappings …
Smart camera design for realtime High Dynamic Range imaging
2011
International audience; Many camera sensors suffer from limited dynamic range. The result is that there is a lack of clear details in displayed images and videos. This paper describes our approach to generate high dynamic range (HDR) from an image sequence while modifying exposure times for each new frame. For this purpose, we propose an FPGA-based architecture that can produce a real-time high dynamic range video from successive image acquisition. Our hardware platform is build around a standard low dynamic range CMOS sensor and a Virtex 5 FPGA board. The CMOS sensor is a EV76C560 provided by e2v. This 1.3 Megapixel device offers novel pixel integration/readout modes and embedded image pre…
Asserting the Precise Position of 3D and Multispectral Acquisition Systems for Multisensor Registration Applied to Cultural Heritage Analysis
2012
International audience; We present a novel method to register multispectral acquisitions on a 3D model. The method is based on the external tracking of the acquisition systems using close-range photogrammetric techniques: multiple calibrated cameras simultaneously observe the successive acquisition systems in use. The views from these cameras are used to precisely determine the position of each acquisition system. All datasets can then be projected in the same coordinate system. The registration is thus independent from the quality and content of the data. This method is well suited to the study of cultural heritage or any other application where we do not wish to place targets on the objec…

GnS-PIPE: an optimized bionformatic pipeline to efficiently assess microbial taxonomic diversity of complex environments using high throughput sequen…
2013
International audience; The rRNA genes (16S, 18S, ITS) are widely used to study microbial communities in soils, as they can be easily amplified from metagenomic DNA. Moreover, the recent development of high-throughput sequencing technologies allows the assessment of millions of sequences from a single metagenomic DNA. Some pipelines are already available (e.g. QIIME or Mothur) to efficiently treat such data. However, the development of bioinformatic tools must now be validated by various biological tests. This was particularly true for key steps to appraise microbial diversity and richness. Here, we present a new pipeline named GnS-PIPE, a software application performing bacterial, archaeal…
