    • Processing of leather waste: pilot scale studies on chrome shavings. Isolation of potentially valuable protein products and chromium 

      Cabeza, Luisa F.; Taylor, M. M.; DiMaio, G. L.; Brown, E. M.; Marmer, W. N.; Carrió, R.; Celma, P. J.; Cot Gores, Jaume (Elsevier Science, 1998)
      Hides come to the tanner as a by-product of the meat industry. The tanning process, in turn, generates much greater quantities of by-products and wastes than leather. One ton of wet salted hides yields only 200 kg of leather ...

      The study of the thermal behavior of complex packages as multichip modules (MCM’s) is usually carried out by measuring the so-called thermal impedance response, that is: the transient temperature after a power step. ...

    • Exploiting Knowledge of Temporal Behaviour in Parallel Programs for Improving Distributed Mapping 

      Roig Mateu, Concepció; Ripoll, A.; Senar, M.A.; Guirado Fernández, Fernando; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2000)
      In the distributed processing area, mapping and scheduling are very important issues in order to exploit the gain from parallelization. The generation of efficient static mapping techniques implies a previous modelling ...

      In this paper a new tool for monitoring the different queues of messages in a PVM environment is presented. The main aim of implementing this facility is to provide a means of capturing the bottlenecks and overheads of ...

    • Implementing Explicit and Implicit Coscheduling in a PVM Environment 

      Solsona Tehàs, Francesc; Giné, Francesc; Hernandez, Porfidio; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2000)
      Our efforts are directed towards the understanding of the coscheduling mechanism in a NOW system when a parallel job is executed with local workloads, balancing parallel efficiency against the local interactive response. ...

    • Coscheduling under Memory Constraints in a NOW 

      Giné, Francesc; Solsona Tehàs, Francesc; Hernández Budé, Porfidio; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2001)
      Networks of Workstations (NOW) have become important and cost-effective parallel platforms for scientific computations. In practice, a NOW system is heterogeneous and non-dedicated. These two unique factors make scheduling ...

    • Improved Multiexponential Transcient Spectroscopy By Iterative Deconvolution 

      Marco, Santiago; Palacín Roca, Jordi; Samitier, Josep (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2001)
      The analysis of multiexponential decays is challenging because of their complex nature. When analyzing these signals, not only the parameters, but also the orders of the models, have to be estimated. Here, we present ...

    • Efficient Mapping for Message-Passing Applications Using the TTIG Model: A Case Study in Image Processing 

      Roig Mateu, Concepció; Ripoll, A.; Borrás, Javier; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2001)
      In this paper we describe the development and performance of an image processing application with functional parallelism within the PVM framework. The temporal behaviour of the application is statically modelled with ...

    • Implementing and Analysing an Effective Explicit Coscheduling Algorithm on a NOW 

      Solsona Tehàs, Francesc; Giné, Francesc; Molina, Fermín; Hernandez, Porfidio; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2001)
      Networks of workstations (NOWs) have become important and cost-effective parallel platforms for scientific computations. In practice, a NOW system is heterogeneous and non-dedicated. These two unique factors make ...

    • Predictive Coscheduling Implementation in a non-dedicated Linux Cluster 

      Solsona Tehàs, Francesc; Giné, Francesc; Hernandez, Porfidio; Luque, Emilio (Springer Verlag, 2001)
      Our research is focussed on keeping both local and parallel jobs together in a non-dedicated cluster or NOW (Network Of Workstations) and efficiently scheduling them by means of coscheduling mechanisms. A real implementation ...

    • Suboptimal Filtering and Nonlinear Time Scale Transformation for the Analysis of Multiexponential Decays 

      Palacín Roca, Jordi; Marco, Santiago; Samitier, Josep (IEEE, 2001)
      Multiexponential decays may contain time-constants differing in several orders of magnitudes. In such cases, uniform sampling results in very long records featuring a high degree of oversampling at the final part of the ...
