Abstract Mechanisms and Neural Computation
(Seoul National University. Institute for Cognitive Science, 2016-03)
A characterization of computation and computational explanation is important in accounting for the explanatory power of many models in cognitive neuroscience. Piccinini (2015) describes computational models as both abstract ...
Probabilistic Neural Synapse Based in Quantum Mechanics
(IEEE, 2022)
The process of synaptic transmission is projected onto the territory of quantum mechanics. Thus, the electric interactions are seen as probabilistic events more than a deterministic one. In this manner, the neurotransmitter ...
A problem for the mechanistic account of computation
(Seoul National University, 2013-06)
The mechanistic account of computation proposes that computational explanation is mechanistic, i.e. it explains the behavior and capacities of mechanisms in terms of their components and the functions and organization of ...
A Parallel Finite Element Program on a Beowulf Cluster
(Elsevier, 2002-12)
Some experiences on writing a parallel finite element code on a Beowulf cluster are shown. This cluster is made up of seven Pentium III processors connected by Fast Ethernet. The code was written in Cþþ making use of MPI ...
Computational mechanics software as a service project
(ISTEC, 2013-12)
Cloud computing promises great opportunities for the execution of scientific and engineering applications. However, the execution of such kind of applications over Cloud infrastructures requires the accomplishment of many ...
Variational modelling of strain localization in solids: a computational mechanics point of view
(2020)
Strain localization is one of the most challenging phenomena in solid mechanics. It occurs when strains concentrate in very narrow bands within a solid, typically referred to as localization bands. This behaviour is related ...
Estudo da efetividade dos mecanismos de compartilhamento de memória em hipervisores
(Universidade Tecnológica Federal do ParanáCuritibaBrasilPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Computação AplicadaUTFPR, 2015-08-28)
The growing demand for large-scale virtualization environments, such as the ones used in cloud computing, has led to a need for efficient management of computing resources. RAM memory is the one of the most required resources ...
