Parallel Approach to Derivative-Free Optimization: Implementing the DONE Algorithm on a GPU

Researchers at Delft University of Technology have recently developed an algorithm for optimizing noisy, expensive and possibly nonconvex objective functions for which no derivatives are available. The data-based online nonlinear extremum-seeker (DONE) was originally developed for sensorless wavefront aberration correction in optical coherence...

Integration of water into an architectural design - Tamale city expansion

Since a few years, more than 50% of people live in urban areas and this number will increase, resulting in major city expanions while facing (potential) problems such as an inadequate access to drinking water, poor levels of sanitation and not enough space for rainwater. Therefore the integration between the water system and architecture becomes...
