In this paper efficient computational strategies are presented to speed-up the analysis of random media and components. In particular, a Hybrid Stochastic Optimization (HSO) tool, based on the synergy between various algorithms, i.e. Genetic Algorithms, Simulated Annealing as well as Tabu-list...

This paper shows the potential of heterogeneous computing in solving dynamic equilibrium models in economics. We illustrate the power and simplicity of the C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism recently introduced by Microsoft. Starting from the same exercise as Aldrich et al. (2011) we document a...

This paper presents the Matlab package DeCo (Density Combination) which is based on the paper by Billio et al. (2013) where a constructive Bayesian approach is presented for combining predictive densities originating from different models or other sources of information. The combination weights...

A graphical processing unit (GPU) is a hardware device normally used to manipulate computer memory for the display of images. GPU computing is the practice of using a GPU device for scientific or general purpose computations that are not necessarily related to the display of images. Many...

Based on Landsat image, the Landsat Ecosystem Disturbance Adaptive Processing System (LEDAPS) uses radiation change detection method for image processing and offers the surface reflectivity products for ecosystem carbon sequestration and carbon reserves. As the accumulation of massive remote...

The training of Support Vector Machines may be a very difficult task when dealing with very large datasets. The memory requirement and the time consumption of the SVMs algorithms grow rapidly with the increase of the data. To overcome these drawbacks a lot of parallel algorithms have been...

Предложены методы поддержки принятия решений по управлению производственными процессами и бизнес-процессами ОАО «РЖД» на основе динамического...

This note describes ParallelKnoppix, a bootable CD that allows econometricians with average knowledge of computers to create and begin using a high performance computing cluster for parallel computing in very little time. The computers used may be heterogeneous machines, and clusters of up to...
