Distributed processing was launched in 1999 with renewed power and new name “GRID computing”. Significant financial support in EU and USA has accelerated investment circles on the larger area of distributed systems. We have followed this expansion and contributed our research results (CRP projects, FP6 project XtreemeOS). Our role is in following the new technologies from GRID computing, related knowledge from the area of computer science, in the developing of new ideas and approaches in GRID area and in their transfer to the final users.
F.17 Transfer of existing technologies, know-how, methods and procedures into practice
COBISS.SI-ID: 217672073-D models of the human heart, knee and arm, in a high resolution, have been constructed. All important tissues are included into the models (muscles, vessels, bones, nerves, subcutaneous tissue, etc.). We improved mathematical model of the heat transfer simulation in bio-tissue (bio-heat equation) with the inclusion of tissue blood perfusion, metabolism and surrounding fluid flow. We explored the relations between respiration, heart rate and blood pressure. Parallel simulation programs with built-in efficient numerical methods (multigrid and meshless) were implemented and tested.
F.21 Development of new health/diagnostic methods/procedures
COBISS.SI-ID: 19540519From 2002-05 the program leader had the position of visiting professor at the University of Salzburg, Department of Scientific Computing. Two postgraduate courses: “Computer Methods for Differential and Integral Equations (CMDIE)” and “High Performance Scientific Computing (HPSC)” are related to his research work on numerical analysis and parallel computing. 10 to 15 students participated; some of them have been engaged in university research projects (see common publications and patent).
