The problem of finding the occurrences of a pattern string in a given text is one of the most fundamental computational tasks in bioinformatics.
While it is imperative the fitness function be effectively parallelizable on the GPU, because it is the most computational expensive task of the algorithm, results indicate that if this is the case, speedups of several orders of magnitude are possible compared to conventional multi-core CPUs.
In large finite element models, the estimation of the bispectrum of the loading for a given frequency (ω1,ω2), which is a necessary stage towards estimation of the response, is the most expensive computational task.
Makino, M. Taiji, Scientific Simulations with Special Purpose Computers, Wiley, New York, 1998], able to provide a very high performance for the most expensive computational task of this code, has resulted in a dramatic performance leap.
We tested the performances of the most intensive computational task performed across all ASEQ execution modes, the multi-threaded pileup implementation PILEUP, on a multi-core machine (4 Intel® Xeon CPUs E7540 at 2.00GHz with 12 cores each in hyper-threading mode).
In ocean engineering, the applications are usually related to a free surface which brings so many interesting physical phenomena (e.g. water waves, impacts, splashing jets, etc).. To model these complex free surface flows is a tough and challenging task for most computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solvers which work in the Eulerian framework.
Cloud computing methods are used for demanding computational tasks.
Computational platform: description of the software used to run the computational tasks, the host machine (computational environment), and execution configuration.
"Metal enables incredibly high performance for sophisticated graphics rendering and computational tasks," the company says.
In many places, calculators have rendered meaningless the testing of basic computational tasks.
