We describe the implementation and performance of dense matrix multiplication and LU decomposition on the GRAPE-DR SIMD accelerator board. A GRAPE-DR card, with 4 GRAPE-DR chips, has the theoretical peak DP performance of 819 Gflops. Each GRAPE-DR chip has 512 processing elements and operates with 400 MHz clock cycle. each PE can perform one addition and one multiplication in every two clock cycles. The measured performance of matrix multiplication is 730 Gflops for the multiplication of matrices with size 51200 by 2048 and 2048 by 51200. The performance of LU decomposition is 480 Gflops for the problem size of 51200.

Digital stethoscopes are medical devices that can collect, store and sometimes transmit acoustic auscultation signals in a digital format. These can then be replayed, sent to a colleague for a second opinion, studied in detail after an auscultation, used for training or, as we envision it, can be used as a cheap powerful tool for screening cardiac pathologies. In this work, we present the design, development and deployment of a prototype for collecting and annotating auscultation signals within real hospital environments. Our main objective is not only pave the way for future unobtrusive systems for cardiac pathology screening, but more immediately we aim to create a repository of annotated auscultation signals for biomedical signal processing and machine learning research. The presented prototype revolves around a digital stethoscope that can stream the collected audio signal to a nearby tablet PC. Interaction with this system is based on two models: a data collection model adequate for the uncontrolled hospital environments of both emergency room and primary care, and a data annotation model for offline metadata input. A specific data model was created for the repository. The prototype has been deployed and is currently being tested in two Hospitals, one in Portugal and one in Brazil.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are frameworks for modern pervasive computing infrastructures, and are often subject to operational difficulties, such as the inability to effectively mitigate signal noise or sensor failure. Natural systems, such as gene regulatory networks (GRNs), participate in similar information transport and are often subject to similar operational disruptions (noise, damage, etc.). Moreover, they self-adapt to maintain system function under adverse conditions. Using a PBN-type model valid in the operational and functional overlap between GRNs and WSNs, we study how attractors in the GRN-the target state of an evolving network-behave under selective gene or sensor failure. For “larger” networks, attractors are “robust”, in the sense that gene failures (or selective sensor failures in the WSN) conditionally increase their total number; the “distance” between initial states and their attractors (interpreted as the end-to-end packet delay) simultaneously decreases. Moreover, the number of attractors is conserved if the receiving sensor returns packets to the transmitting node; however, the distance to the attractors increases under similar conditions and sensor failures. Interpreting network state-transitions as packet transmission scenarios may allow for trade-offs between network topology and attractor robustness to be exploited to design novel fault-tolerant routing protocols, or other damage-mitigation strategies.

There is growing interest in defining best practices that support multiple needs in companies. This has led to the current situation, where organizations, universities and research groups, amongst others, have defined a wide range of reference models. This is also known as the quagmire of standards and models. The ample assortment of possibilities enables companies to choose and implement the models that are most suitable for their particular features. There may even be a reduction in the cost associated with effort and time in their implementation. Each model, however, defines its own process structure, approach, scope, and so forth, so carrying out the implementation of more than two models without guidelines or suitable tools can be a hard, if not impossible, task. With all this in mind, the aim of this paper is to present a harmonization Framework, which establishes the elements and tools needed to support the harmonization of multiple reference models. It also presents a detailed summary of the elements defined, along with a summary of the successful application of the harmonization framework in two case studies. This harmonization framework and its elements have been shown to be suitable for supporting the harmonization of multiple models.
