  • Publication number: 20060241928
    Abstract: A method for creating a load balanced spatial partitioning of a structured, diffusing system of particles with pairwise interactions, comprises steps of: assigning a weight corresponding to a computational cost for a pair interaction of particles to a simulation space distance between the particles; performing a spatial partitioning of the simulation space; and assigning computation of pair interaction to any node that has the positions of both particles. The method can also be implemented as machine executable instructions executed by a programmable information processing system or as hard coded logic in a specialized computing apparatus such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

  • Publication number: 20060092279
    Abstract: A video signal connection apparatus comprises an array of individual video signal connector contacts arranged in a matrix having connector contact rows and connector contact columns, the individual video signal connector contacts extending in a first connection ‘direction, a connector having individual connector contacts corresponding in number to the individual video signal connector contacts of the array, the individual connector contacts extending in a second connection direction, the second connection direction being orthogonal to the first connection direction and conductors interconnecting the individual video signal connector contacts to the individual connector contacts.

  • Publication number: 20060010181
    Abstract: A method, information processing system and computer readable medium for performing a transpose of a multidimensional matrix in a distributed memory network. The method includes storing a multidimensional matrix of side N in a distributed memory network comprising a plurality of nodes and distributing work associated with a calculation of a transpose of the matrix among N2 of the plurality of nodes. The method further includes receiving results of the calculation of the transpose of the matrix by the nodes.
