Enterprises create custom applications to use 3D engineering data across product development, sales, procurement, manufacturing, support, and maintenance. These applications automate specialized workflows, reduce rework, and improve access to engineering information across the product lifecycle.

Surface reconstruction is an important trend in 3D scanning. The problem is to recreate surfaces from a given point cloud within the shortest possible time and with a given quality criteria. There is a set of different approaches for solving this problem, which includes Self-Organized Maps, Bayesian reconstruction and Poisson reconstruction.

Here we put forward a newly developed simulation environment ARACHNE: it enables an investigator to build and explore cellular networks of arbitrary biophysical and architectural complexity using the logic of NEURON and a simple interface on a local computer or a mobile device.

Software outsourcing is a fairly common business practice these days. Although “outsourcing” may just mean asking somebody "outside" of the company to perform the work, it typically means that work is "shipped" off-shore.

In parallel computing systems computations are executed simultaneously, wholly or in part. This approach is based on the partitioning of a big task into smaller subtasks that can run in parallel.

Sketches obtained as a result of import or export from different CAD packages to DXF/DWG formats often contain broken geometry relations: broken tangent, broken horizontal or vertical relations, gaps between entities, etc.

In order to compare ConcRT, OpenMP and TBB technologies, we implemented a few algorithms from different areas of numeric computation and compared their performance with C++ equivalents. Four functions were implemented.

Mathematical modeling of complex problems is far more mainstream than it once was, and Excel has played a major role in making that happen. From linear programming to statistical models, Excel is used to implement many different modeling techniques. Built-in functions and custom worksheets significantly enhance Excel’s flexibility and suitability as the modeling tool of choice within existing customer-based applications.

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the performance benefits from using distributed algorithms and computational power of clusters for Monte Carlo method in simulating processes in the field of neurobiology.

Microsoft announced new technology for GPGPU called C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism - C++ AMP. It accelerates the execution of C++ code by taking advantage of the GPUs present on video cards with DirectX11 support. The main structure of C++ AMP is influenced by its main competitors like OpenCL and CUDA. But unlike OpenCL and CUDA, that are more oriented in C code, C++ AMP looks like STL library with new C++11 support.
