Viewshed analysis is a critical process within Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that determines the visibility of terrain from a given observation point. Recent progress in parallel computing has ...

Chemical process simulations are crucial for optimizing industrial operations, but they often require significant ...

(CS 213 or (CE 205 & 211)) or MS CS/CE or PhDs CS/CE or permission of Instructor. CS 358 serves as an introduction to the field of parallel computing. Topics include common parallel architectures ...

Prof. Nikos Hardavellas and select IEMS faculty have recently announced the launch of the Intel Parallel Computing Center (IPCC) at Northwestern. Prof. Nikos Hardavellas and select IEMS faculty have ...

The Δ-Motif algorithm leverages open-source libraries such as Pandas and Numpy, and achieves parallel processing on GPUs through NVIDIA's RAPIDS. According to benchmark tests, the algorithm's speed is ...

Just back from the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC), where I had a most interesting conversation with some of the people behind the Maxwell experimental high performance computer. That's ...

Parallel tempering is a generic Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling method which allows good mixing with multimodal target distributions, where conventional Metropolis-Hastings algorithms often fail.
