Nowadays many customised embedded processors offer the possibility of speeding up an application by implementing it using Application-Specific Functional units (AFUs). However, th...
Graphics cards exercise increasingly more computing power and are highly optimized for high data transfer volumes. In contrast typical workstations perform badly when data exceeds...
This paper describes a major restructuring of PROuST, a method for protein structure comparison, for an efficient porting to the Grid. PROuST consists of different components: an...
We describe the rationale behind the design of key features of Titanium—an explicitly parallel dialect of JavaTM for high-performance scientific programming—and our experienc...
