A Novel Optimization for GPU Mining Using Overclocking and Undervolting
2022
Cryptography and associated technologies have existed for a long time. This field is advancing at a remarkable speed. Since the inception of its initial application, blockchain has come a long way. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency based on blockchain, also known as distributed ledger technology (DLT). The most well-known cryptocurrency for everyday use is Bitcoin, which debuted in 2008. Its success ushered in a digital revolution, and it currently provides security, decentralization, and a reliable data transport and storage mechanism to various industries and companies. Governments and developing enterprises seeking a competitive edge have expressed interest in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencie…
Internal Audit in Polish Self-government Units: Attempt to Evaluate Selected Aspects of its Functioning
2018
Internal audit has been functioning in self-government units in Poland since 2002. Its current form has changed considerably during that time. Initially, internal audit particularly focused on the area of financial economy of the unit. With time, it evolved towards a complex evaluation of the activities of the unit, considering all aspects of its functioning. Internal audit is currently transforming towards an efficiency audit. The objective of the article is to present the organisation and basic rules of performance of internal audit in SGU, to attempt an assessment of selected aspects of its functioning, and to point to possible directions of its development. For this purpose, analysis wa…
Simulated Game-Based Ice Hockey Match Design (Scrimmage) Elicits Greater Intensity in External Load Parameters Compared With Official Matches.
2022
ObjectiveA limited number of studies have explored the external load experienced in indoor sports such as ice hockey, and few the link between training and match performance. As a paucity exists within this topic, this study explored whether a simulated match design (i.e., scrimmage) could be representative of official match demands and elicit similar external loads as in official matches in a group of elite youth male ice hockey players.MethodsA total of 26 players were monitored during eight official and four simulation matches using a Local Positioning System. Total distance, max velocity, slow (0–10.9 km/h), moderate (11–16.9 km/h), high (17.0–23.9 km/h), and sprint (>24 km/h) sp…
The soil map of Italy: a hierarchy of geodatabases, from soil regions to sub-systems
2014
This paper is aimed at showing the organization of the national soil information system managed by the Agriculture Research Council of Italy (Soil Information System of Italy, SISI). The available soil geodatabases for the whole of Italy are those of the soil regions (1:5,000,000), subregions (1:1,000,000), and systems (1:500,000), while the soil subsystems geodatabase (1:250,000) is available for most part of Italy.
1,4 dihidropiridinski derivati povećavaju ekspresiju gena Psma3, Psmb5 i Psmc6 u glasničkoj RNA štakora
2021
The ubiquitin-proteasome system modifies different cellular and protein functions. Its dysregulation may lead to disrupted proteostasis associated with multiple pathologies and aging. Pharmacological regulation of proteasome functions is already an important part of the treatment of several diseases. 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) derivatives possess different pharmacological activities, including antiaging and neuroprotective. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of several 1,4-DHP derivatives on mRNA expression levels of proteasomal genes Psma3, Psmb5, and Psmc6 in several organs of rats. Rats were treated with metcarbatone, etcarbatone, glutapyrone, styrylcarbatone, AV-153…
CUDA-BLASTP: Accelerating BLASTP on CUDA-enabled graphics hardware
2011
Scanning protein sequence database is an often repeated task in computational biology and bioinformatics. However, scanning large protein databases, such as GenBank, with popular tools such as BLASTP requires long runtimes on sequential architectures. Due to the continuing rapid growth of sequence databases, there is a high demand to accelerate this task. In this paper, we demonstrate how GPUs, powered by the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), can be used as an efficient computational platform to accelerate the BLASTP algorithm. In order to exploit the GPU's capabilities for accelerating BLASTP, we have used a compressed deterministic finite state automaton for hit detection as wel…
Memory-Efficient Sliding Window Progressive Meshes
2007
Progressive mesh is a data structure that encodes a continuous spectrum of mesh approximations. Sliding window progressive meshes (SWPM) minimize data transfers between CPU and GPU by storing mesh data in static on-GPU memory buffers [For01]. The main disadvantages of the original SWPM algorithm are poor vertex cache usage efficiency, and big resulting datasets. Connectivity-based algorithm [KT04] achieves a good vertex cache coherence but it does not address the problem of high memory utilization. In this paper, we describe estimates for the size of memory buffers, and describe methods to reduce the index datasets. We achieve 20% reduction due to the use hierarchical data structures (clust…
Latvijas armijas neregulārās karaspēka vienības Neatkarības kara laikā 1919.-1920.gadā
2020
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt neregulārā karaspēka vienību jeb partizānu vienību un pulku darbību Neatkarības kara laikā, no 1919. gada marta līdz 1920. gadam janvārim. Partizāni sagādāja ievērojamas problēmas Padomju varas orgāniem Vidzemē, Ziemeļlatgalē un Augškurzemē, kas bija veicinošs iemesls Padomju varas sagrāvei, kā arī piedalījās austrumu frontes nostiprināšanā pēc Padomju varas atkāpšanās uz Latgali. Darbā galvenā uzmanība tiek vērsta uz vienību specifisko izveidošanos un sastāvu. Darbs ir sadalīts četrās nodaļās, kur pirmajā nodaļā tiek aplūkoti centrālie militārie procesi, un pārējās trīs nodaļas ir iedalītas attiecīgi pēc partizānu vienību un pulku atrašanās vietas, tas ir,…
Skrzydlate słowa - (nie)stałe elementy pamięci zbiorowej
2017
Skrzydlate słowa, czyli spopularyzowane częstym przytaczaniem jednostki języka, autorstwo lub źródło których można ustalić, są nieodłącznym elementem pamięci zbiorowej. W artykule zostaje postawione pytanie, na ile stały lub niestały jest to element i co wpływa na utrwalenie danego skrzydlatego słowa w kodzie danej wspólnoty. Częściową odpowiedź dają wyniki ankiety przeprowadzonej wśród studentów.
The Development and Precision of a Custom-Made Skitester
2021
In the sport of cross-country skiing, equipment has a direct influence on results. Ski teams do extensive testing of different ski base grinds and products on a yearly basis. To achieve reliable results, the quality of methods used for testing skis needs to be taken in to account in addition to factors including the physical characteristics of testing personnel and changes in weather conditions. The aim of this study was to introduce a custom-made skitester, that was developed for testing skis on real snow, in laboratory conditions, and to evaluate its precision. The current skitester is capable of glide testing both classic and skate skis as well as kick simulation for the testing of grip …
