A Comparative Study of the Parallel Performance of the Blocking and Non-Blocking MPI Communication Commands on an Elliptic Test Problem on the Cluster tara
(2016)In this report we study the parallel solution of the elliptic test problem of a Poisson equation with homogenous Dirichlet boundary conditions in a two dimensional domain. We use the finite difference method to approximate ... -
Comparison of Local Powers of Some Exact Tests for a Common Normal Mean with Unequal Variances
(United States Census Bureau, 2020-05-20)The inferential problem of drawing inference about a common mean µ of several independent normal populations with unequal variances has drawn universal attention, and there are many exact tests for testing a null hypothesis ... -
Comparison of Performance Analysis Tools for Parallel Programs Applied to CombBLAS
(2015)Performance analysis tools are powerful tools for high performance computing. By breaking down a program into how long the CPUs are taking on each process (pro- filing) or showing when events take place on a timeline over ... -
A Comparison of Solving the Poisson Equation Using Several Numerical Methods in Matlab and Octave on the Cluster maya
(2014)Systems of linear equations resulting from partial differential equations arise frequently in many phenomena such as heat, sound, and fluid flow. We apply the finite difference method to the Poisson equation with homogeneous ... -
A Comparison of Stochastic Precipitation Generation Models for the Potomac River Basin
Weather ensembles are an integral part of weather forecasting and can also be used to test the sensitivity and performance of climate models. Among meteorological variables, simultaneous simulation of precipitation at ... -
COMSOL Modeling of Groundwater Flow and Contaminant Transport in Two-Dimensional Geometries With Heterogeneities
(2011)The Delmarva Peninsula is located on the East Coast of the United States, between the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Industrial farming in the Delmarva Peninsula leads to levels of nutrients, in particular nitrogen, ... -
The cone of Z-transformations on Lorentz cone
(University of Wyoming, 2019-09)In this paper, the structural properties of the cone of Z-transformations on the Lorentz cone are described in terms of the semidefinite cone and copositive/completely positive cones induced by the Lorentz cone and its ... -
Continuous Data Assimilation for the Three Dimensional Navier-Stokes Equations
(2020-03-03)In this paper, we provide conditions, \emph{based solely on the observed data}, for the global well-posedness, regularity and convergence of the Azouni-Olson-Titi data assimilation algorithm (AOT algorithm) for a Leray-Hopf ... -
Convergence Order Studies for Elliptic Test Problems with COMSOL Multiphysics
(2008)The convergence order of fi nite elements is related to the polynomial order of the basis functions used on each element, with higher order polynomials yielding better convergence orders. However, two issues can prevent ... -
Copula-based Correlation Structure for Multivariate Emission Distributions in Hidden Markov Models
(2020)Hidden Markov models (HMM) for multi-site daily precipitation usually assume that precipitation at each location is independently distributed conditional on the daily state; correlation in precipitation at different locations ... -
Coupled PDEs with Initial Solution from Data in COMSOL 4
(2013)Many physical applications require the solution of a system of coupled partial differential equations (PDEs). In most cases the analytic PDE solution does not exist for this system and we need to solve the problem numerically ... -
Cross-cancer Prediction: A Novel Machine Learning Approach to Discover Molecular Targets for Development of Treatments for Multiple Cancers
(SAGE journals, 2018-10-22)Conventional cancer drug development has long been limited to organ- or tissue-specific cancer types. However, it has become increasingly known that specific genetic abnormalities are responsible for the carcinogenesis of ... -
Daily Precipitation Generation using a Hidden Markov Model with Correlated Emissions for the Potomac River Basin
(UMBC, 2020-06-30)A daily precipitation generator based on a hidden Markov model with Gaussian copulas (HMM-GC) is constructed using remote sensing data from GPM-IMERG for the Potomac river basin on the East Coast of the USA. Daily ... -
