Factors involved in the performance of computations on Beowulf clusters.
Motivated by applications in queueing fluid models and ruin theory, we analyze the asymptotics of , where , i = 1,...,n, are independent fractional Brownian motions with Hurst parameters and λ₁,...,λₙ > 0. The asymptotics takes one of three different qualitative forms, depending on the value of .
In this paper we deal with a problem of segmentation (including missing boundary completion) and subjective contour creation. For the corresponding models we apply the semi-implicit finite volume numerical schemes leading to methods which are robust, efficient and stable without any restriction to a time step. The finite volume discretization enables to use the spatial adaptivity and thus improve significantly the computational time. The computational results related to image segmentation with partly...
