Abstract:
Одним из главных препятствий масштабированному распараллеливанию алгебраических методов декомпозиции для решения сверхбольших разреженных систем линейных алгебраических уравнений (СЛАУ) является замедление скорости сходимости аддитивного итерационного алгоритма Шварца в подпространствах Крылова при увеличении количества подобластей. Целью настоящей статьи является сравнительный экспериментальный анализ различных приeмов ускорения итераций: параметризованное пересечение подобластей, использование специальных интерфейсных условий на границах смежных подобластей, а также применение грубосеточной коррекции (агрегации, или редукции) исходной СЛАУ для построения дополнительного предобусловливателя. Распараллеливание алгоритмов осуществляется на двух уровнях программными средствами для распределeнной и общей памяти. Тестовые СЛАУ получаются при помощи конечно-разностных аппроксимаций задачи Дирихле для диффузионно-конвективного уравнения с различными значениями конвективных коэффициентов на последовательности сгущающихся сеток. One of the main obstacles to the scalable parallelization of the algebraic decomposition methods for solving large sparse systems of linear algebraic equations consists in slowing the convergence rate of the additive iterative Schwarz algorithm in the Krylov subspaces when the number of subdomains increases. The aim of this paper is a comparative experimental analysis of various ways to accelerate the iterations: a parametrized intersection of subdomains, the usage of interface conditions at the boundaries of adjacent subdomains, and the application of a coarse grid correction (aggregation, or reduction) for the original linear system to build an additional preconditioner. The parallelization of algorithms is performed on two levels by programming tools for the distributed and shared memory. The benchmark linear systems under study are formed using the finite difference approximations of the Dirichlet problem for the diffusion-convection equation with various values of the convection coefficients and on a sequence of condensing grids.

Abstract:
Reliability optimization is an important step in industrial systems design. In order to develop a reliable system, designers may introduce different redundant technologies with the same functionality in parallel. In this paper, each technology is assumed to be composed of series components. The obtained configuration belongs to the series-parallel systems. The presented tool is for the design or the improvement of such systems, in order to minimize the system cost with a reliability constraint. The aim is to find the reliability to allocate to each component in order to minimize the total cost, such that the global system reliability verifies a minimal level constraint. This problem is known to be NP-hard. In this paper, a metaheuristic approach, based on the Ant Colony Optimization technics (ACO), is used in order to improve an existing approach. The experimental results, based on randomly generated instances, outperform the one of previous method dedicated to this problem.

Abstract:
A turn from homogeneous to heterogeneous architectures permits to achieve the advantages of the efficiency, size, weight and power consumption, which is especially important for the built-in solutions. However, the development of the parallel software for heterogeneous computer systems is rather complex task due to the requirements of high efficiency, easy programming and the process of scaling. In the paper the efficiency of parallel-pipelined processing of video information in multiprocessor heterogeneous systems on a chip (SoC) such as DSP, GPU, ISP, VDP, VPU and others, has been investigated. A typical scheme of parallel-pipelined processing of video data using various accelerators has been presented. The scheme of the parallel-pipelined video data on heterogeneous SoC 1892VM248 has been developed. The methods of efficient parallel-pipelined processing of video data in heterogeneous computers (SoC), consisting of the operating system level, programming technologies level and the application level, have been proposed. A comparative analysis of the most common programming technologies, such as OpenCL, OpenMP, MPI, OpenAMP, has been performed. The analysis has shown that depend-ing on the device finite purpose two programming paradigms should be applied: based on OpenCL technology (for built-in system) and MPI technology (for inter-cell and inter processor interaction). The results obtained of the parallel-pipelined processing within the framework of the face recognition have confirmed the effectiveness of the chosen solutions.

Abstract:
In classical massively parallel computers, the complexity of the interconnection networks is much higher than the complexity of the processing elements themselves. However, emerging optical technologies may provide a way to reconsider very large parallel architectures where processors would communicate by optical means. In this paper, we compare some optically interconnected parallel multicomputer models with regard to their communication capabilities. We first establish a distinction of such systems, based on the independence of the communication elements embedded in the processors (transmitters and receivers). Then, motivated by the fact that in multicomputers some communication operations have to be very efficiently performed, we study communication problems, namely, broadcast and multi-broadcast, under the hypothesis of bounded fanout. Our results take also into account a bounded number of available wavelengths.

Abstract:
The new information technologies, such computer techniques, wireless (open) transmission standards and satellite systems applied for positioning have a important influence for different approach to safety criteria of railway control systems. The “fail-safe” rule assumed for relay control systems is based on high reliability of applied relays (guaranteed number of switches) and rigorous maintenance (homologation) procedure. The implementation of redundant, parallel computer systems has modified the concept of safety towards Tolerable Hazard Rate, where safety of computer systems is defined as an intensity of critical (dangerous, catastrophic) failures including self-testing. The wireless technologies respect the threats and their influence for functionality, availability and reliability of railway control systems (defined as probability).

Abstract:
The study presents a comparison of computing systems based on IBM POWER8, IBM POWER9, and Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running parallel applications. Memory subsystem bandwidth was studied, parallel programming technologies were compared, and the operating modes and capabilities of simultaneous multithreading technology were analyzed. Performance analysis for the studied computing systems running parallel applications based on the OpenMP and MPI technologies was carried out by using the NAS Parallel Benchmarks. An assessment of the results obtained during experimental calculations led to the conclusion that IBM POWER8 and Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 systems have almost the same maximum memory bandwidth, but require a different number of threads for efficient utilization. The IBM POWER9 system has the highest maximum bandwidth, which can be attributed to the large number of memory channels per socket. Based on the results of numerical experiments, recommendations are given on how the hardware of a similar grade can be utilized to solve various scientific problems, including recommendations on optimal processor architecture choice for leveraging the operation of high-performance hybrid computing platforms.

The work considers the multiprocessors technologies of modeling for Monte Carlo tasks. It is shown that only application of the modern super productive systems permitted the new way to realize the mechanism of corresponding partitioned computations. The calculating schemes that supply to provide the increase of productivity and calculations' speed effectiveness are shown. In this article the modified algorithm of parallel calculations is offered based on the Monte Carlo method. Here every calculator has its own random generator of numbers. Thus intermediate calculations come true independently on the different, separately taken blades of cluster, "calculators". The results are already processed on some separately taken master -blades ("analyzer"). This allows to get rid from the necessary presence of router-communicator between the random generator of numbers and "calculator". Obviously, that such decision allows to accelerate the process of calculations. It is shown that the parallel algorithms of the Monte Carlo method are stable to any input data and have the maximal parallel form and, thus, minimal possible time of realization using the parallel computing devices. If it is possible to appoint one processor to one knot of calculation. Thus the realization of calculations becomes possible in all knots of net area in parallel and simultaneously.

Abstract:
The article presents the efficiency evaluating results of easily build cowsheds in modern milk production technologies and the use of high-productive milking plants such as "Parallel" and "Carrousel" with 32 machines each and robotic milking systems. It has been established that the new type of premises not only provides comfortable conditions for keeping high-yielding cows, but also reduces labor costs for their maintenance and, most importantly, allows the use of modern high-productive milking plants such as "Parallel" and "Carrousel", as well as the usage of “motivational milking” technology". It has been established that the technology of preparing cows for milking and milking technology provides more complete realization of milk ejection reflex at the installation of the "Parallel" type and robotic milking system. The average intensity of cows’ milk flows at these plants is 30% and 47% higher compared to those of the installation of “Carrousel” type, which is confirmed by the intensity of milk flow production at the first minute of milking. The multiplicity of cows’ milking of different lactations under conditions of "motivational milking" depending on their productivity and lactation period was also studied. It has been proved that the higher the daily yield, the more often the cow goes to milking. Thus, animals with a daily milk yield of 10 to 20 kg go to milking in average of 2.34 times a day, and with a daily milk yield of 40 and above - 3.39 times. It has been deemed that milk obtained with the help of a milking parlor of the "Parallel" type and a robotic milking system has higher values of mass fraction of fat and protein, which is associated with the genetic potential of animals, their diet and quality of milking. According to physical, chemical and technological properties, milk obtained at the milking parlors "Parallel" and "Carrousel", as well as robotic milking systems meets current standards. Due to bacterial contamination, reductase test and milk clot characteristics, milk obtained with a Parallel milking parlor as well as the robotic milking system has higher quality indicators than with the use of the Carrousel type installation. But according to a set of indicators, the milk obtained by the studied milking systems belongs to the desired class of cheese.

Currently, high-speed vision based on parallel processing exists, and its various applications as high-speed intelligent systems have been proposed and implemented. The basic goal of high-speed vision is to realize vision capabilities and systems that operate at speeds necessary for intelligent systems, in which intelligence operating at the speed inherently required by the application system is achieved. This paper described the vision chip and parallel image processing architectures, presented outlines of system architectures, image-processing algorithms, and related peripheral technologies; described the concepts required to configure high-speed intelligent systems, such as hierarchical parallel distributed architecture, parallel decomposition, orthogonal decomposition, dynamics matching, latency minimization, high-speed 3D shape measurement, active vision, tracking vision, dynamic compensation, and dynamic projection mapping; and discussed a wide range of application systems in a systematic manner.

Abstract:
Effective programming of parallel architectures has always been a challenge, and it is especially complicated with their modern diversity. The task of automatic parallelization of program code was formulated from the moment of the appearance of the first parallel computers made in Russia (for example, PS2000). To date, programming languages and technologies have been developed that simplify the work of a programmer (T-System, MC#, Erlang, Go, OpenCL), but do not make parallelization automatic. The current situation requires the development of effective programming tools for parallel computing systems. Such tools should support the development of parallel programs for systems with shared and distributed memory. The paper deals with the problem of automatic parallelization of affine programs for such systems. Methods for calculating space-time mappings that optimize the locality of the program are discussed. The implementation of developed methods is done in Haskell within the source-to-source translator performing automatic parallelization. A comparison of the performance of parallel variants of lu, atax, syr2k programs obtained using the developed tool and the modern Pluto tool is made. The experiments were performed on two x86_64 machines connected by the InfiniBand network. OpenMP and MPI were used as parallelization technologies. The performance of the resulting parallel program indicates the practical applicability of the developed tool for affine programs parallelization.

Abstract:
This paper deals with the creation of parallel algorithms implementing macro-and microscopic traffic flow models on modern supercomputers. High-performance computing contributes to the development of intelligent transportation systems based on information technologies and aimed at the effective regulation of traffic in large cities. As a macroscopic approach, the quasi-gas-dynamic traffic model approximated by explicit finite-difference schemes is proposed. One- and two-dimensional variants of the system are considered, and the concept of lateral velocity and different equations for obtaining it are discussed. The microscopic approach is represented by the multilane cellular automata model. The previously developed model is extended to reproduce synchronized flow in accordance with Kerner’s three-phase theory. The new version starts from the Kerner–Klenov–Schreckenberg–Wolf model and operates with the concept of the synchronization gap. Macroscopic models are relevant for determining the common characteristics of road traffic, while microscopic models are useful for a detailed description of cars’ movement. Both approaches possess inner parallelism. The parallel algorithms are based on the geometrical parallelism principle with different boundary conditions at interfaces of the subdomains. Sufficiently high speedups were reached when up to 100 processors were involved in calculations. The proposed algorithms can serve as the core of ITS.

Abstract:
Centrifugation is a powerful method for solid-liquid separation. It can be applied in numerous ways to simplify solid phase synthetic procedures. At the same time, centrifugation is the only totally parallel technique which can be scaled up for processing volume or number of simultaneously run reactions, without the limitation of overpressure or vacuum-driven filtration-based systems. We have developed synthesizers based on the power of centrifugation — peptide and small organic molecule synthesizers utilizing cotton as the synthetic substrate and inclusion volume chemistry, synthesizers for automation of “tea bag” synthesis, and synthesizers based on “tilted plate centrifugation”. The last technique was employed in an oligonucleotide production facility with the capacity of more than 10 million compounds per year.

Abstract:
The creation of linguistic resources is crucial to the continued growth of research and development efforts in the field of natural language processing, especially for resource-scarce languages. In this paper, we describe the curation and annotation of corpora and the development of multiple linguistic technologies for four official South African languages, namely isiNdebele, Siswati, isiXhosa, and isiZulu. Development efforts included sourcing parallel data for these languages and annotating each on token, orthographic, morphological, and morphosyntactic levels. These sets were in turn used to create and evaluate three core technologies, viz. a lemmatizer, part-of-speech tagger, morphological analyzer for each of the languages. We report on the quality of these technologies which improve on previously developed rule-based technologies as part of a similar initiative in 2013. These resources are made publicly accessible through a local resource agency with the intention of fostering further development of both resources and technologies that may benefit the NLP industry in South Africa.

Sustainability indicators are used to enable a parallel comparison of the options from environmental, economic, and socio-cultural perspectives. For illustration, the indicator approach is applied to a case study of the sanitation options for peri-urban/rural areas of the eThekwini Municipality in South Africa.

Abstract:
In recent years, analytical tools and approaches to model the costs and benefits of energy storage have proliferated in parallel with the rapid growth in the energy storage market. Some analytical tools focus on the technologies themselves, with methods for projecting future energy storage technology costs and different cost metrics used to compare storage system designs. Other tools focus on the integration of storage into larger energy systems, including how to economically operate energy storage, estimate the air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions effects of storage, or understand how policy and market rules influence storage deployment and operation. Given the confluence of evolving technologies, policies, and systems, we highlight some key challenges for future energy storage models, including the use of imperfect information to make dispatch decisions for energy-limited storage technologies and estimating how different market structures will impact the deployment of additional energy storage.

This paper provides a review of contemporary methodologies and APIs for parallel programming, with representative technologies selected in terms of target system type (shared memory, distributed, and hybrid), communication patterns (one-sided and two-sided), and programming abstraction level. We analyze representatives in terms of many aspects including programming model, languages, supported platforms, license, optimization goals, ease of programming, debugging, deployment, portability, level of parallelism, constructs enabling parallelism and synchronization, features introduced in recent versions indicating trends, support for hybridity in parallel execution, and disadvantages. Such detailed analysis has led us to the identification of trends in high-performance computing and of the challenges to be addressed in the near future. It can help to shape future versions of programming standards, select technologies best matching programmers’ needs, and avoid potential difficulties while using high-performance computing systems.

In this essay I will discuss the various paradigms available for declarative programming, and also the object orientated programming paradigm, and put forward various ideas that I feel are of particular interest.

Abstract:
Existing parallel graphics rendering systems only support single level parallel rendering pipeline. This paper presents a novel high performance parallel graphics rendering architecture on PC-Cluster supporting tiled display wall. It employs a hybrid sort-first and sort-last architecture based on a new rendering and scheduling structure, called dynamic rendering team (DRT as abbreviation), which is composed of multiple PCs instead of single PC to act as a rendering node. Each DRT responds for a certain projector area in the tiled display wall and all DRTs form a outer level parallel rendering pipeline natively. Inside separate DRT there is an optimized parallel Rendering-Composing-Display (R-C-D) pipeline reconstructing the serial workflow to parallel one. The Optimized parallel R-C-D pipeline along with the outer parallel rendering pipelines among DRTs forms a special nested parallel pipeline architecture, which promotes the whole rendering performance of our system greatly. Experiments show that parallel rendering system with the proposed architecture and nested parallel rendering pipelines, called Parallel-SG, can render over 13M triangles at an average speed of 12 frames per second without any accelerating technologies on a tile-display wall of 5*3 projectors array.

Abstract:
The application fields of bytecode virtual machines and VLIW processors overlap in the area of embedded and mobile systems, where the two technologies offer different benefits, namely high code portability, low power consumption and reduced hardware cost. Dynamic compilation makes it possible to bridge the gap between the two technologies, but special attention must be paid to software instruction scheduling, a must for the VLIW architectures. We have implemented JIST, a Virtual Machine and JIT compiler for Java Bytecode targeted to a VLIW processor. We show the impact of various optimizations on the performance of code compiled with JIST through the experimental study on a set of benchmark programs. We report significant speedups, and increments in the number of instructions issued per cycle up to 50% with respect to the non-scheduling version of the JITcompiler. Further optimizations are discussed.

Abstract:
The paper examines the efficiency of the application of CUDA technologies for the parallelization of the cryptographic algorithm with the public key. The speed of execution of several implementations of the algorithm is compared: sequential implementation on the CPU and two parallel implementations – on the CPU and GPU. A description of the public key algorithm is presented, as well as properties that allow it to be parallelized. The advantages and disadvantages of parallel implementations are analyzed. It is shown that each of them can be suitable for different scenarios. The software was developed and several numerical experiments were performed. The reliability of the obtained results of encryption and decryption is confirmed. To eliminate the influence of external factors at the time of execution the algorithm was tested ten times in a row and the average value was calculated. Acceleration coefficients for message encryption and decryption algorithms were estimated based on OpenMP and CUDA technology. The proposed approach focuses on the possibility of further optimization through the prospects of developing a multi-core architecture of computer systems and graphic processors.

Abstract:
The power system expansion and the integration of technologies, such as renewable generation, distributed generation, high voltage direct current, and energy storage, have made power system simulation challenging in multiple applications. The current computing platforms employed for planning, operation, studies, visualization, and the analysis of power systems are reaching their operational limit since the complexity and size of modern power systems results in long simulation times and high computational demand. Time reductions in simulation and analysis lead to the better and further optimized performance of power systems. Heterogeneous computing—where different processing units interact—has shown that power system applications can take advantage of the unique strengths of each type of processing unit, such as central processing units, graphics processing units, and field-programmable gate arrays interacting in on-premise or cloud environments. Parallel Heterogeneous Computing appears as an alternative to reduce simulation times by optimizing multitask execution in parallel computing architectures with different processing units working together. This paper presents a review of Parallel Heterogeneous Computing techniques, how these techniques have been applied in a wide variety of power system applications, how they help reduce the computational time of modern power system simulation and analysis, and the current tendency regarding each application. We present a wide variety of approaches classified by technique and application.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the development of the maximal parallel forms of mathematical models with a tridiagonal structure. The example of solving the Dirichlet and Neumann problems by the method of straight lines and the sweep method for the heat equation illustrates the direct fundamental features of constructing parallel algorithms. It is noted that the study of the heat and mass transfer processes is run through their numerical modeling based on modern computer technology.It is shown that with the multiprocessor computing systems’ development, there disappear the problems of increasing their peak performance. On the other hand, building such systems, as a rule, requires standard network technologies, mass-produced processors, and free software. The noted circumstances aim at solving the so-called big problems.It should be borne in mind that the classical approach to solving the tridiagonal structure models based on multiprocessor computing systems is far more time-consuming compared to single-processor computing facilities. That is explained by the recurrence relations that make the basis of classical methods. Therefore, the proposed studies are relevant and aim at the distributed algorithms development for solving applied problems.The proposed research aims to construct the maximal parallel forms of mathematical models with a tridiagonal structure.The paper proposes the schemes to implement parallelization algorithms for applied problems and their mapping to parallel computing systems.Parallelization of tridiagonal mathematical models by the method of straight lines and the sweeping method allows designing absolutely stable algorithms with the maximum parallel form and, therefore, the minimum possible time for their implementation on parallel computing devices. It is noteworthy that in the proposed algorithms, the computational errors of the input data are separated from the round-off errors inherent in a PC.The proposed approach can be used in various branches of metallurgical, thermal physics, economics, and ecology problems in the metallurgical industry.

Abstract:
This work is devoted to the problem of implementing an efficient parallel program that solves the asigned task using the maximum available amount of computing cluster resources in order to obtain the corresponding gain in performance with respect to the sequential version of the algorithm. The main objective of the work was to study the possibilities of joint use of the parallelization technologies OpenMP and MPI, considering the characteristics and features of the problems being solved, to increase the performance of executing parallel algorithms and programs on a computing cluster. This article provides a brief overview of approaches to calculating the sequential programs complexity functions. To determine the parallel programs complexity, an approach based on operational analysis was used. The features of the sequential programs parallelization technologies OpenMP and MPI are described. The main software and hardware factors affecting the execution speed of parallel programs on the nodes of a computing cluster are presented. The main attention in this paper is paid to the study of the impact on performance of computational and exchange operations number ratio in programs. To implement the research, parallel OpenMP and MPI testing programs were developed, in which the total number of operations and the correlation between computational and exchange operations are set. A computing cluster consisting of several nodes was used as a hardware and software platform. Experimental studies have made it possible to confirm the effectiveness of the hybrid model of a parallel program in multi-node systems with heterogeneous memory using OpenMP in shared memory subsystems, and MPI in a distributed memory subsystems

Abstract:
This paper presents an investigation of the fuel- and energy-saving potential through the introduction of several hybrid electric propulsion (HEP) and more electric aircraft (MEA) systems on single aisle aircraft. More specifically, for an A320NEO the following main electric systems are considered: electric motors, batteries and power electronics for parallel HEP, electric components for replacement of the main pneumatic and hydraulic non-propulsive systems like environmental control system and actuators, and electric power transport and supply. The power sizing of the electric components, as well as their mass effects on overall aircraft mission performance are evaluated by system modelling of the aircraft, turbofan and the considered electric components. It is found for the considered aircraft and missions that the fuel saving potential of parallel HEP systems alone is very limited or absent. Typically the combination of HEP and MEA technologies shows potential for improved energy efficiency due to synergies of the involved systems and their operation.

Abstract:
In recent years, with the rise of Internet of Things (IoT), a majority of smart technologies, such as autonomous vehicles, smart healthcare, and urban surveillance, require a huge number of images of high quality and resolution. Currently, image superresolution reconstruction technologies are widely used for obtaining high quality images. Unfortunately, the existing methods generally focus on the whole image without highlighting foreground information and lack visual focus. Also, they have low utilization of shallow features and numerous training parameters. In this paper, we propose a feature extraction module that focuses on foreground information: the parallel attention module (PAM). PAM computes channel and spatial attention in parallel, inputs the obtained attention values into a cascaded gated network, and dynamically adjusts the weights of both using nonuniform joint loss to focus on image foreground information and detail features to improve the reconstructed image’s foreground sharpness. To further improve the performance, we propose to connect multiple PAM modules in series with skip connections and call it PAMNet. PAMNet can better leverage the shallow residual features, and the reconstructed images are closer to ground truth. Thereby, the applications in the urban image processing IoT systems can obtain high-resolution images more quickly and precisely. The comprehensive experimental results show that PAMNet performs better than the state-of-the-art technologies.

Abstract:
An evolving understanding of disease pathogenesis has compelled the development of new drug delivery approaches. Recently, bioinspired microrobots have gained traction as drug delivery systems. By leveraging the microscale phenomena found in physiological systems, these microrobots can be designed with greater maneuverability, which enables more precise, controlled drug release. Their function could be further improved by testing their efficacy in physiologically relevant model systems as part of their development. In parallel with the emergence of microscale robots, organ-on-a-chip technologies have become important in drug discovery and physiological modeling. These systems reproduce organ-level functions in microfluidic devices, and can also incorporate specific biological, chemical, and physical aspects of a disease. This review highlights recent developments in both microrobotics and organ-on-a-chip technologies and envisions their combined use for developing future drug delivery systems.

This paper presents the results of numerical investigation, calculation analysis and experimental study of heat exchange in a system of plane-parallel channels formed by rectangular fins, which are applied in a heat removal device using heat tubes for power semiconductor energy converters. Passive cooling (heat removal by radiation and natural convection) and active cooling (heat removal by radiation and forced convection) are investigated for various velocities of air cooling of fins by spherical vortex generators applied to its surface. A comparative analysis of the results is carried out for the average effective heat removal resistance and for the average temperature at the ends of the fins. The application of numerical modeling to solve such problems confirms the effectiveness of computational technologies. The difference between the results of the study ranges from 10 to 16% depending on the airflow rate.

Abstract:
The shift from centralized to distributed generation and the need to address energy shortage and achieve the sustainability goals are among the important factors that drive increasing interests of governments, planners, and other relevant stakeholders in microgrid systems. Apart from the distributed renewable energy resources, fuel cells (FCs) are a clean, pollution-free, highly efficient, flexible, and promising energy resource for microgrid applications that need more attention in research and development terms. Furthermore, they can offer continuous operation and do not require recharging. This paper examines the exciting potential of FCs and their utilization in microgrid systems. It presents a comprehensive review of FCs, with emphasis on the developmental status of the different technologies, comparison of operational characteristics, and the prevailing techno-economic barriers to their progress and the future outlook. Furthermore, particular attention is paid to the applications of the FC technologies in microgrid systems such as grid-integrated, grid-parallel, stand-alone, backup or emergency power, and direct current systems, including the FC control mechanisms and hybrid designs, and the technical challenges faced when employing FCs in microgrids based on recent developments. Microgrids can help to strengthen the existing power grid and are also suitable for mitigating the problem of energy poverty in remote locations. The paper is expected to provide useful insights into advancing research and developments in clean energy generation through microgrid systems based on FCs.

Abstract:
Discoveries in particle physics vitally depend on parallel advances in radiation-detector technologies. A true innovation in detector instrumentation concepts came in 1968, with the development of a fully parallel readout for a large array of sensing elements — the Multi-Wire Proportional Chamber (MWPC), which earned Georges Charpak a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1992. This invention revolutionized particle detection which moved from optical-readout devices (cloud chamber, emulsion or bubble chambers) to the electronics era. Over the past two decades advances in photo-lithography, microelectronics and printed-circuit board (PCB) techniques triggered a major transition in the field of gas detectors from wire structures to the Micro-Pattern Gas Detector (MPGD) concepts. The excellent spatial and time resolution, high rate capability, low mass, large active areas, and radiation hardness make them an invaluable tool to confront future detector challenges at the frontiers of research. The design of the new micro-pattern devices appears suitable for industrial production. Novel devices where MPGDs are directly coupled to the CMOS pixel readout serve as an "electronic bubble chamber" allowing to record space points and tracks in 3D. In 2008, the RD51 collaboration at CERN has been established to further advance technological developments of MPGDs and associated electronic-readout systems, for applications in basic and applied research. This review provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of the MPGD technologies and summarizes ongoing activities within the framework of the RD51 collaboration.

Abstract:
One of the most important ways of improving the speed of complex task solving is employing a multiprocessor computational system. This paper describes the experience of software development for research management and solving educational problems using parallel computing technologies. The authors describe approaches to computation parallelization using a multiprocessor system with shared memory within a task of finding a numerical root of a system of linear equations with a tridiagonal coefficient matrix that appears when solving a boundary problem for a partial differential equation of parabolic type, the heat equation. Additionally, the approaches to parallelization implementation of the tridiagonal matrix method for the heat equation in the two-dimensional case within a numerical root-finding algorithm using the alternating-direction implicit method for a multiprocessor system with shared memory are described. A finite-difference method of variable directions is used to find a numerical root of a heat equation in the two-dimensional case. Sequential and parallel algorithms (two-sided Thomas algorithm and multithread horizontal block Thomas algorithm) that fit an execution on computational systems with shared memory have been used to implement a tridiagonal matrix method. Two parallel computation organization technologies for computational systems with shared memory have been used for computation parallelization: one based on OpenMP technology and one using .NET framework facilities. The parallelization process and load balance serving have been performed by means of the environment in the first case as manual operation of threads parallelization process is allowed in the latter one. As an assessment of the described approach performance, the calculation time for sequential and parallel algorithms is given depending on the task’s size and the number of threads used. Comparison of the considered parallelization algorithms and implementation technologies is performed based on the analysis of the resulting acceleration. This paper shows that total computation time is several times smaller and calculation acceleration is several times bigger when using Thread instead of OpenMP. An application has been developed that allows obtaining a visual result of modelling of process of temperature propagation in the study area using parallel calculation technologies in real time.

The design and construction of virtual reality environments involve technologies such as computer graphics, image processing, pattern recognition, intelligent interface, artificial intelligence, voice recognition, network, parallel processing, and high-performance computing.

This paper applies artificial intelligence to the design of virtual reality systems. Agents are constructed by using object-oriented methods and a set of underlying computing models, such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, expert systems, and plan managers. Some object-oriented frameworks of these computing models are presented to illustrate this approach. The example of a spaceship game will illustrate interactions among environments, agents, and underlying computing models.

Abstract:
The paper demonstrates the possibility of creating a maximum parallel form of computational algorithms to solve thermal problems and their mapping to the architecture of multiprocessor systems based on solving thermal problems of mathematical physics. It is shown that an effective tool for studying heat and mass transfer problems in metallurgical production could be parallel computing technologies on distributed cluster systems with a relatively low cost and reasonably easily scalable both in the number of processors and in the amount of RAM. Tridiagonal structure systems' parallelization was implemented by a numerical-analytical approach, which predetermined their maximally parallel algorithmic form. That approach is facilitated by the minimum possible implementation time of the developed algorithm on parallel computing systems. Furthermore, during the arithmetic expressions parallel computations, the developed algorithm separates the error in the output data from rounding operations. Thus, the parallelization of tridiagonal systems based on numerical-analytical discretization methods does not impose any restrictions on the topology of the mesh nodes of the computational domain.Furthermore, as applied to the parallel computation of arithmetic expressions, it separates the initial data error from a real PC's rounding operations. That approach eliminates the recurrent structure of computing the sought-for decision vectors, which, as a rule, leads to the round-off errors accumulation. Such a parallel form of the constructed algorithm is maximal and has the shortest possible implementation time of the algorithm on parallel computing systems. The developed approach to parallelizing the mathematical model is stable for various types of input data. It has the most parallel form and is distinguished by the minimum time for solving the problem as applied to multiprocessor computing systems. That is explained as follows. If it is hypothesized that one processor can be assigned to one processor and one processor can be assigned to one node of the computational mesh domain, the computations can be processed in parallel and simultaneously for all nodes of the computational mesh domain. The simulation process was implemented on a PC cluster. It follows from the simulation results analysis that the developed method for solving the heat conduction problem effectively minimizes residuals.
