Line Scratch Detection on Digital Images: An Energy Based Model

Assessing the Resource Usage in Scheduling with Incompatibilities

In the field of resource constrained scheduling, the papers in the literature are mainly focused on minimizing the maximum completion time of a set of tasks to be carried out, paying attention to respecting the maximum simultaneous availability of each resource type in the system. This work,…

A multi-GPU aggregation-based AMG preconditioner for iterative linear solvers

We present and release in open source format a sparse linear solver which efficiently exploits heterogeneous parallel computers. The solver can be easily integrated into scientific applications that need to solve large and sparse linear systems on modern parallel computers made of hybrid nodes…

Holonomic constraints: A case for statistical mechanics of non-hamiltonian systems

A dynamical system submitted to holonomic constraints is Hamiltonian only if considered in the reduced phase space of its generalized coordinates and momenta, which need to be defined ad hoc in each particular case. However, specially in molecular simulations, where the number of degrees of freedom…

Experimental Results about MPI Collective Communication Operations

Collective communication performance is critical in a number of MPI applications. In this paper we focus on two widely used primitives, broadcast and reduce, and present experimental results obtained on a cluster of PC connected by Myrinet. We compare the performance of the MPICH primitives…

Tuning Minimum-Norm regularization parameters for optimal MEG connectivity estimation

The accurate characterization of cortical functional connectivity from Magnetoencephalography (MEG) data remains a challenging problem due to the subjective nature of the analysis, which requires several decisions at each step of the analysis pipeline, such as the choice of a source estimation…

FLUVIAL TO TORRENTIAL PHASE TRANSITION IN OPEN CANALS

Network flows and specifically water flow in open canals can be modeled by systems of balance laws defined on graphs. The shallow water or Saint-Venant system of balance laws is one of the most used model and present two phases: fluvial or sub-critical and torrential or super-critical. Phase…

Efficient implementation of a Structured Total Least
Squares based speech compression method

We present a fast implementation of a recently proposed speech compression scheme, based on an all-pole model of the vocal tract. Each frame of the speech signal is analyzed by storing the parameters of the complex damped exponentials deduced from the all-pole model and its initial conditions.…
