In this work, we present a survey of the different parallel programming models and tools
available today with special consideration to their suitability for high-performance …

Present days cores composing a system-on-chip might be interconnected by means of both
dedicated channels or shared buses. Nevertheless, future systems will have strong …

Stochastic, spatial reaction-diffusion simulations have been widely used in systems biology
and computational neuroscience. However, the increasing scale and complexity of models …

We present a domain decomposition method for computing finite difference solutions to the
Poisson equation with infinite domain boundary conditions. Our method is a finite difference …

At the origin of this thesis stood the own painful experience with the difficulties of develo**
and reusing scientific software, even if the underlying mathematical problems solved by the …

Programming parallel computers is an extremely challenging task for expert computer
programmers, let alone for scientists in other disciplines whose computations often drive the …

Hierarchical algorithms such as multigrid applications form an important cornerstone for
scientific computing. In this study, we take a first step toward evaluating parallel language …

Adaptive hp finite element methods (FEM), in which both grid size h and local polynomial
order p are dynamically altered, generate computations that require dynamic and irregular …

Detection of document skew is an important step in document image analysis. The paper
presents a new method for calculation of document skew. The method forms large …

Develo** effective yet scalable load-balancing methods for irregular computations is
critical to the successful application of simulations in a variety of disciplines at petascale and …
