Researchers need look no further than the Ohio Supercomputer Center for a convenient way to access the MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox and ParaM, two versions of Parallel MATLAB technologies.
For years, experts have predicted that ubiquitous videoconferencing was just ahead. Now, several videoconferencing trends — including improved quality, reduced cost and the economy — have fueled demand.
As a political scientist, Professor Luke Keele’s expertise in applying statistical techniques to social sciences serves him well.
Psychologists increasingly wrestle with how to model one of the most sophisticated processing units of all — the human brain. In the cognitive sciences, models are very diverse; they can range from closedform equations with a few parameters to simulation-based models with many parameters.
As a computational linguist, Ohio State University Professor Chris Brew merges computer science with the scientific study of language and communication.
Do no harm. In the effort to manage the forest habitats of the endangered Indiana bat, naturalists must always, always, first consider the impact on this nocturnal mammal. Bats perform a vital ecological role, feeding entirely on flying insects; a single bat can consume thousands of mosquitoes each night.
In the near future, the world’s fastest supercomputers will incorporate millions of processing elements, a substantial increase in scale over the high performance computing systems in use at leading research centers today. At the same time, however, the rates at which users can access data storage devices, such as hard disks, are not increasing at the same rate.
The Air Force Research Laboratory, Sensors Directorate, Advanced Radar Waveforms & Processing Branch recently installed a remote testing facility to gather data for radio frequency (RF) tomography technology.
The sounds of war, when accurately captured and processed, shed their cacophonous echoes and leave a trail of unique, acoustical fingerprints. Much like sonar detects and classifies underwater resonance, acoustic signal processing sensors capture sounds in the air.
The Department of Defense, like many companies and organizations, have leveraged the advances in supercomputing to compute increasingly complex and large computational problems. File sizes have equally expanded with the growth in computing power, especially if the files contain very large sets of data.
