While running on battery power they produce no tailpipe emissions but, critics note, the coal-intensive grid electricity they use surely produces more greenhouse gases than a petrol engine does.
We finally propose the xDFS protocol as a new paradigm of distributed systems for Internet services, and data-intensive Grid and Cloud applications.
The main objectives of this testbed are to improve the Grid community's understanding of the networking issues posed by data-intensive Grid applications over transoceanic gigabit networks, design and develop new Grid middleware services, and improve the interoperability of European and U.S. Grid applications in High-Energy and Nuclear Physics.
These results indicate that hybrid PV CHP technologies may serve as replacements for conventional energy systems for new communities attempting to gain access to emission-intensive grids.
A report from the UCS released in April 2012 found that even in the U.S. region with the most emissions-intensive electricity grid, greenhouse-gas emissions attributable to electric vehicles are equivalent to those produced by gasoline cars that get 31 40 miles per gallon.
We investigate time and energy to solution for the CPU- and GPU-based execution of the compute intensive smoother and grid transfer operators in a geometric multigrid linear solver.
Computational failures exist in any computational system and can compromise the application execution, especially on a processing grid with intensive computing demand (months of computation).
Eugenio Sper de Almeida, Haroldo Fraga de Campos Velho and Airam Jonatas Preto report results and findings from an investigation on the challenges of executing an important and computationally intensive meteorological application in grid environments.
The increasing complexity of the electric grid requires intensive and comprehensive signal monitoring followed by the necessary signal processing (SP) for characterizing, identifying, diagnosing, protecting, and also for better unfolding the nature of certain phenomena and events.
The cropland suitability map is a function of slope [61] and potential cereal yield under intensive management [63] where grid cells with gentler slopes and higher potential yield are given higher suitability scores.
