A Conceptual Integrated Parametric Design Tool for Excavation Sites

Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies are changing the conventional structural design process. BIM level-1 and level-2 are providing guidelines and frameworks for standardization with the standard Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and collaborative design respectively. However, the predicted full potential of BIM, BIM level-3, which...

Towards Dynamic Adaptation of Parallelism for Better Performance and Less Energy Consumption

It is possible to reduce the computation time of data parallel programs by dividing the computation work among different threads and executing them on multiple compute cores. Some data parallel programs are functionally correct only when they are solved with a specific number of threads. For these programs, the question whether or not...
