Hazenoot, D. (author)Numerical integration methods such as the Fourier-based COS method can be used for effciently and accurately pricing financial products. The COS method can be applied to options on one underlying stock as well as on multiple underlying stocks. However, this method suffers from an exponential increase in computational complexity as the dimensions...master thesis 2016

Berger, M.E.R. (author)Using the histogram procedure, this work studies performance determining factors in computing in parallel on SIMD and SIMT devices. Modern graphics pro-cessing units (GPUs) support SIMT, multiple threads running the same instruction, whereas central processing units (CPUs) use SIMD, in which one instruction op-erates on multiple operands. As...master thesis 2015

Schalkwijk, J. (author)De vorige eeuw was getuige van de opkomst van numerieke weer- en klimaatmodellen. Weersvoorspelling, voorheen een empirische procedure gebaseerd op de persoonlijke ervaring van de meteoroloog, ontwikkelde zich tot een wetenschappelijke methode om de toekomstige toestand van de atmosfeer te voorspellen op basis van de huidige toestand en tendens....doctoral thesis 2015

Knibbe, H.P. (author)The oil and gas industry makes use of computational intensive algorithms to provide an image of the subsurface. The image is obtained by sending wave energy into the subsurface and recording the signal required for a seismic wave to reflect back to the surface from the Earth interfaces that may have different physical properties. A seismic wave...doctoral thesis 2015

Timal, N.R.N. (author)Detecting similarities between (RNA, DNA, and protein) sequences is an important part of bioinformatics. Among the algorithms used to accomplish this, the Smith-Waterman algorithm is very popular. A sequential implementation of Smith-Waterman requires quadratic running time with respect to the length of the sequences. As the amount of data in...master thesis 2015

Mittal, A. (author)The project focuses on developing a simulator in which ships and waves interact. The new wave model is the Variational Boussinesq model (VBM). However, this new realistic model brings much more computation effort with it. The VBM mainly requires an unsteady state solver, that solves a coupled system of equations at each frame (20 fps) . The...master thesis 2014

Madan, R. (author)ASML is one of the world's largest suppliers of lithography systems for the semiconductor industry. ASML designs and develops machines that are used to print circuits on silicon wafers, to produce IC chips. These circuits have to be printed with accuracy of up to 2nm. For this purpose, the machines incorporate several measurement systems. The...master thesis 2013

Turi, D. (author)In recent years the study of complex systems gained prominence. Since it is usually difficult to use classical mathematic models to understand these systems, scientists and engineers have to resort to simulations. Currently programming languages like CUDA C and OpenCL are available to run large scale simulations on a GPU architecture....master thesis 2013

De Jong, M.A. (author)The Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) supplies innovative products for the offshore industry and shipping companies. Among their products are highly realistic real-time bridge simulators. Currently, the waves are deterministic and are not affected by ships, moles, breakwaters, piers, or any other object. To bring the simulators to...master thesis 2012

Xu, S. (author)This thesis deals with two research problems. The first research problem is motivated by the numerical computation involved in the Time Domain Simulation (TDS) of Power Grids. Due to the ever growing size and complexity of Power Grids such as the China National Grid, accelerating TDS has become a stringent need for the online analysis of these...doctoral thesis 2011

Schaafsma, P.J. (author)Orbital fat is the soft tissue inside the eye socket, or orbit, that surrounds the eye muscles, eyeball, optic nerve and blood vessels. It plays an important role in the mechanical operation of the eye during eyeball rotation. Knowledge of how this orbital fat behaves is limited. It is important for surgeons to improve this knowledge to make...master thesis 2011

Van Antwerpen, D.G. (author)Since the introduction of General-Purpose GPU computing, significant increase has been made in performance for regular path tracing. However, more advanced versions of path tracing such as BiDirectional Path Tracing (BDPT) and Energy Redistribution Path Tracing (ERPT) have not been implemented successfully so far due to their stochastic sampling...master thesis 2011

Performance modeling and optimization of sparse matrix-vector multiplication on NVIDIA CUDA platformXu, S. (author), Xue, W. (author), Lin, H.X. (author)In this article, we discuss the performance modeling and optimization of Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiplication (SpMV) on NVIDIA GPUs using CUDA. SpMV has a very low computation-data ratio and its performance is mainly bound by the memory bandwidth. We propose optimization of SpMV based on ELLPACK from two aspects: (1) enhanced performance for the...journal article 2011

Chitchian, M.M. (author)The particle filter is a Bayesian estimation technique based on Monte Carlo simulations. The non-parametric nature of particle filters makes them ideal for non-linear non-Gaussian systems. This greater filtering accuracy, however, comes at the price of increased computational complexity which limits their practical use for real-time applications...master thesis 2011

Kentie, M.A. (author)Alignment algorithms are used to find similarity between biological sequences, such as DNA and proteins. By aligning a sequence with a database, similar sequences can be found. These can be used to identify the source of a query sequence, to find commonalities between organisms, or to infer an ancestral relation. Various methods of performing...master thesis 2010
