New superior computing systems under research

Scientists at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) are reading how to enhance the development of advanced computing systems to create faster software under the auspices of RePhrase, a brand new research undertaking from the european Union Horizon 2020 application. these new techniques will make it feasible to enhance packages including commercial manufacturing strategies and railway site visitors monitoring, in addition to the diagnosis of intellectual illnesses.

The purpose of the RePhrase mission is to paintings on improving the development of software for parallel heterogeneous architectures. "Parallel heterogeneous architectures are those which can be utilized in machines that combine distinct computing devices, which include the familiar multi-middle processors and photographs playing cards used to make computations," explained the primary researcher from the UC3M crew, José Daniel García, from the ARCOS research group (Arquitectura de Computadores, Comunicaciones y Sistemas -- laptop architecture, Communications and structures) within the university computer science and Engineering department.

The participation of UC3M in this new task is targeted on fixing precise troubles while developing applications in parallel computer systems, paying unique attention to using the C++ programming language, which has been identified by using the participants as an outstanding alternative for this kind of devices.

Consistent with Professor García, the following generations of computer systems may have an ever more variety of processors with diverging functions, which offers rise to the want for brand spanking new software program development techniques. "The purpose is to acquire quicker applications which on the equal time devour much less power," he said.

Biomedical packages

The results from this studies may have programs in one of a kind fields, together with within the development of commercial production methods, the tracking of railway traffic or the optimization of packages for diagnosing intellectual illnesses. on this remaining case, UC3M collaborates closely with every other studies group from the center for research on mental health (initialled CIBERSAM in Spanish) at Gregorio Marañón health center, applying the techniques developed to enhance strategies of diagnosis based on magnetic resonance.

"The utility we're running on includes the laptop processing of brain photos captured thru magnetic resonance," defined one of the members of the undertaking, Professor Francisco Javier García Blas, from the UC3M pc science and Engineering department. currently, these structures take hours to run the computer evaluation of the photos and the aim of those researchers is to lessen this time to minutes. this is, to "attain faster diagnoses in the case of ailments like schizophrenia, bipolar ailment or despair," he stated.
