      Team project-based learning (TPBL) combines two learning techniques: 1) project-based learning (PBL) and 2) teamwork. This combination leverages the learning outcomes of both methods and places students in a real work ...
    • openAccess   Dynamic reconfiguration of noniterative scientific applications A case study with HPG aligner 

      Iserte, Sergio; Martínez Pérez, Héctor; Barrachina Mir, Sergio; Castillo Catalán, María Isabel; Mayo, Rafael; Peña Monferrer, Antonio J. Springer (2018-09)
      Several studies have proved the benefits of job malleability, that is, the capacity of an application to adapt its parallelism to a dynamically changing number of allocated processors. The most remarkable advantages of ...
    • openAccess   Dynamic spawning of MPI processes applied to malleability 

      Martín Álvarez, Iker; Aliaga Estellés, José Ignacio; Castillo Catalán, María Isabel; Iserte, Sergio; Mayo, Rafael SAGE Publications (2023-05-29)
      Malleability allows computing facilities to adapt their workloads through resource management systems to maximize the throughput of the facility and the efficiency of the executed jobs. This technique is based on reconfiguring ...
    • closedAccess   Exploiting the capabilities of modern GPUs for dense matrix computations 

      Barrachina Mir, Sergio; Castillo Catalán, María Isabel; Igual, Francisco; Mayo, Rafael; Quintana-Orti, Enrique S.; Quintana-Ortí, Gregorio John Wiley & Sons (2009)
      We present several algorithms to compute the solution of a linear system of equations on a graphics processor (GPU), as well as general techniques to improve their performance, such as padding and hybrid GPU-CPU computation. ...
    • openAccess   FaST-LMM for Two-Way Epistasis Tests on High-Performance Clusters
