Reconstructing groundwater source release histories using hybrid optimization approaches

ENVIRONMENTAL FORENSICS, 7(1), 45–54.

By: G. Mahinthakumar n & M. Sayeed*

author keywords: environmental forensics; groundwater; release history reconstruction; optimization; inverse problems
TL;DR: The results indicate that hybrid optimization methods, especially those that combine an initial global heuristic approach with a subsequent gradient-based local search approach are very effective in solving single- and multiple-source releases in three-dimensional heterogeneous flow fields.

A high resolution computer model for sound propagation in the human thorax based on the Visible Human data set

COMPUTERS IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE, 34(2), 177–192.

By: C. Narasimhan*, R. Ward*, K. Kruse*, M. Guddati n & G. Mahinthakumar n

author keywords: sound propagation; human thorax; visible human data set; parallel computing
MeSH headings : Acoustics; Anatomy, Cross-Sectional; Computer Simulation; Humans; Male; Mathematical Computing; Models, Biological; Radiography, Thoracic; Respiratory Sounds / physiology; Thorax / physiology; Tomography, X-Ray Computed
TL;DR: A parallel supercomputer model based on realistic tissue data is developed for sound propagation in the human thorax and the sound propagation behavior is analyzed under various conditions using artificial sound sources to confirm previous studies that show the size of the thorax plays a significant role in the type of sound generated at the chest wall.

A hybrid MPI-OpenMP implementation of an implicit finite-element code on parallel architectures

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING APPLICATIONS, 16(4), 371–393.

By: G. Mahinthakumar n & F. Saied*

TL;DR: A hybrid implementation adapted for an implicit finite-element code developed for groundwater transport simulations is presented, finding that while the hybrid model is a promising approach for SMP cluster architectures, the payoff may not be justified for converting all existing MPI codes to hybrid codes.
