In this work we propose an efficient finite volume approximation of two-fluid flows. Our scheme is based on three ingredients. We first construct a conservative scheme that removes the pressure oscillations phenomenon at the interface. The construction relies on a random sampling at the interface [6, 5]. Secondly, we replace the exact Riemann solver by […]

Today, GPUs represent an important hardware development platform for many problems in dynamical systems, where massive parallel computations are needed. Beside that, many numerical studies of chaotic dynamical systems require a computing precision higher than common floating point (FP) formats. One such application is locating invariant sets for chaotic dynamical systems. In particular, we focus […]

Multicore CPUs (Central Processing Units) and GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) are omnipresent in today’s market-leading smartphones and tablets. With CPUs and GPUs getting more complex, maximizing hardware utilization is becoming problematic. The challenges faced in GPGPU (General Purpose computing using GPU) computing on embedded platforms are different from their desktop counterparts due to their memory […]

This thesis presents the results of a study into the use of graphical processing units (GPUs) in the simulation and modelling of gravitational microlensing. Two simulation approaches were investigated: magnification maps and the use of a dynamic engine for directly simulating gravitational microlensing light curves. It was found that the GPUs are able to speed […]

We consider a two-fluid compressible flow. Each fluid obeys a stiffened gas pressure law. The continuous model is well defined without considering mixture regions. However, for numerical applications it is often necessary to consider artificial mixtures, because the two-fluid interface is diffused by the numerical scheme. We show that classic pressure law interpolations lead to […]

A version of the H-LU factorization is introduced, based on the individual computational tasks occurring during the block-wise H-LU factorization. The dependencies between these tasks form a directed acylic graph, which is used for efficient scheduling on parallel systems. The algorithm is especially suited for many-core processors and shows a much improved parallel scaling behavior […]

The emergence of multi-/many-core architectures, accelerators and high-speed networks, along with continued reduction in hardware costs make it possible to design highly capable supercomputers that offer sustained petaflop performance. However, merely using modern compute architectures and high-speed networks is not sufficient to achieve exascale science. Parallel applications typically involve explicit communication between processes to exchange […]

Graphs and hyper-graphs are frequently used to recognize complex and often non-rigid patterns in computer vision, either through graph matching or point-set matching with graphs. Most formulations resort to the minimization of a difficult energy function containing geometric or structural terms, frequently coupled with data attached terms involving appearance information. Traditional methods solve the minimization […]

In this paper, we investigated the effect of adding more small curves to the initial condition which determines the required number of iterations of a fast level set (LS) evolution. As a result, we discovered two new theorems and developed a proof on the worst case of the required number of iterations. Furthermore, we found […]

With its popularity, Twitter has become an increasingly valuable source of real-time, user-generated information about interesting events in our world. This thesis presents TwitGeo, a system to explore and visualize trending topics on Twitter. It features an interactive map that summarizes trends across different geographical regions. Powered by a novel GPU-based datastore, this system performs […]

Mainstream attentions have been brought to the issue of Internet traffic classification due to its political, economic, and legal impacts on appropriate use, pricing, and management of the Internet. Nowadays, both the research and operational communities prefer to classify network traffic through approaches that are based on the statistics of traffic flow features due to […]
