64-bit architechtures and compute clusters for high performance simulations
(Massey University, 2006)
Simulation of large complex systems remains one of the most demanding
of high performance computer systems both in terms of raw compute performance
and efficient memory management. Recent availability of 64-bit
architectures ...
A framework and simulation engine for studying artificial life
(Massey University, 2004)
The area of computer-generated artificial life-forms is a relatively recent
field of inter-disciplinary study that involves mathematical modelling, physical
intuition and ideas from chemistry and biology and computational ...
Node importance ranking and scaling properties of some complex road networks
(Massey University, 2007)
The scaling and other quantifiable properties of a network have recently been proven valuable
in understanding the robustness and vulnerability properties of various societal and infrastructural
networks. In this paper ...
A review of traffic simulation software
(Massey University, 2009)
Computer simulation of tra c is a widely used method in research of tra c modelling,
planning and development of tra c networks and systems. Vehicular tra c systems are of
growing concern and interest globally and modelling ...
Accelerated face detector training using the PSL framework
(Massey University, 2009)
We train a face detection system using the PSL framework [1] which combines the AdaBoost
learning algorithm and Haar-like features. We demonstrate the ability of this framework to
overcome some of the challenges inherent ...
Simulating large random Boolean networks
(Massey University, 2007)
The Kauffman N-K, or random boolean network, model is an important tool for exploring
the properties of large scale complex systems. There are computational challenges in simulating
large networks with high connectivities. ...
Simulation modelling and visualisation: toolkits for building artificial worlds
(Massey University, 2008)
Simulations users at all levels make heavy use of compute resources to drive computational
simulations for greatly varying applications areas of research using different simulation
paradigms. Simulations are implemented ...
Small-world networks, distributed hash tables and the e-resource discovery problem
(Massey University, 2010)
Resource discovery is one of the most important underpinning problems behind producing a scalable,
robust and efficient global infrastructure for e-Science. A number of approaches to the resource discovery
and management ...
Mixing multi-core CPUs and GPUs for scientific simulation software
(Massey University, 2010)
Recent technological and economic developments have led to widespread availability of
multi-core CPUs and specialist accelerator processors such as graphical processing units
(GPUs). The accelerated computational performance ...
A novel bootstrapping method for positive datasets in cascades of boosted ensembles
(Massey University, 2010)
We present a novel method for efficiently training a face detector using large positive
datasets in a cascade of boosted ensembles. We extend the successful Viola-Jones [1] framework
which achieved low false acceptance ...
