Stochastic precipitation generators (SPGs) are a class of statistical models which generate synthetic data that can simulate dry and wet rainfall stretches for long durations. Generated precipitation time series data are used in climate projections, impact assessment of extreme …
From a computational perspective much can be learned from studying the brain. For auditory processing three biological attributes are presented as being responsible for good hearing performance in challenging environments: Firstly, the scale of biological cell resource allocated…
Large Eddy Simulation is a method of obtaining high accuracy computational results for modelling fluid flow. Unfortunately it is computationally expensive limiting it to users of large parallel machines. However, it may be that the use of LES leads to an over-resolution of the p…
Today, software developers face the challenge of re-engineering their applications to exploit the full power of the new emerging multi-/many-core architectures. This shift profoundly affects application developers who can no longer transparently rely only on Moore's law to speed…
