This paper studies the error in, the efficient implementation of and time stepping methods for a variational multiscale method (VMS) for solving convection-dominated problems. The VMS studied uses a fine mesh C-O finite element space X-h to approximate the concentration and a coarse mesh discontinuous vector finite element space L-H for the large scales of the flux in the two scale discretization. Our tests show that these choices lead to an efficient VMS whose complexity is further reduced if a (locally) L-2-orthogonal basis for L-H is used. A fully implicit and a semi-implicit treatment of the terms which link effects across scales are tested and compared. The semi-implicit VMS was much more efficient. The observed global accuracy of the most straightforward VMS implementation was much better than the artificial diffusion stabilization and comparable to a streamline-diffusion finite element method in our tests.

A Hierarchical Partitioning Strategy for an Efficient Parallelization of the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm
Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-06-01)
We present a novel hierarchical partitioning strategy for the efficient parallelization of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) on distributed-memory architectures to solve large-scale problems in electromagnetics. Unlike previous parallelization techniques, the tree structure of MLFMA is distributed among processors by partitioning both clusters and samples of fields at each level. Due to the improved load-balancing, the hierarchical strategy offers a higher parallelization efficiency than previ...
A discontinuous Galerkin method for optimal control problems governed by a system of convection-diffusion PDEs with nonlinear reaction terms
Yücel, Hamdullah; BENNER, Peter (2015-11-01)
In this paper, we study the numerical solution of optimal control problems governed by a system of convection-diffusion PDEs with nonlinear reaction terms, arising from chemical processes. The symmetric interior penalty Galerkin (SIPG) method with upwinding for the convection term is used as a discretization method. We use a residual-based error estimator for the state and the adjoint variables. An adaptive mesh refinement indicated by a posteriori error estimates is applied. The arising saddle point system...
A Pipelined Camellia Architecture for Compact Hardware Implementation
Kavun, Elif Bilge; Yalcin, Tolga (2010-07-09)
In this paper, we present a compact and fast pipelined implementation of the block cipher Camellia for 128-bit data and 128-bit key lengths. The implementation is suitable for both Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) platforms, and is targeted for low area and low power applications. To obtain a compact design, pipelining principles are exploited and platform specific optimizations are made. The design requires only 321 slices with a throughput of 32.96 Mb...
A GPU-accelerated adaptive discontinuous Galerkin method for level set equation
KARAKUS, A.; WARBURTON, T.; AKSEL, MEHMET HALUK; Sert, Cüneyt (2016-01-02)
This paper presents a GPU-accelerated nodal discontinuous Galerkin method for the solution of two- and three-dimensional level set (LS) equation on unstructured adaptive meshes. Using adaptive mesh refinement, computations are localised mostly near the interface location to reduce the computational cost. Small global time step size resulting from the local adaptivity is avoided by local time-stepping based on a multi-rate Adams-Bashforth scheme. Platform independence of the solver is achieved with an extens...
A neuro-fuzzy MAR algorithm for temporal rule-based systems
Sisman, NA; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Akman, V (1999-08-04)
This paper introduces a new neuro-fuzzy model for constructing a knowledge base of temporal fuzzy rules obtained by the Multivariate Autoregressive (MAR) algorithm. The model described contains two main parts, one for fuzzy-rule extraction and one for the storage of extracted rules. The fuzzy rules are obtained from time series data using the MAR algorithm. Time-series analysis basically deals with tabular data. It interprets the data obtained for making inferences about future behavior of the variables. Fu...
