Benefits of using a Wendland Kernel for free-surface flows

The aim of this paper Is lo discuss the influence of the selection of the interpolation kernel in the accuracy of the modeling of the internal viscous dissipation in Tree surface Hows, Simulations corresponding to a standing wave* for which an analytic solution available, are presented. Wendland and renormalized Gaussian kernels are considered. The differences in the flow pattern* and Internal dissipation mechanisms are documented for a range of Reynolds numbers. It is shown that the simulations with Wendland kernels replicate the dissipation mechanisms more accurately than those with a renormalized Gaussian kernel. Although some explanations are hinted we have Tailed to clarify which the core structural reasons for Mich differences are*

Effectiveness of global analysis in strict independence-based automatic program parallelization

This paper presents a study of the effectiveness of global analysis in the parallelization of logic programs using strict independence. A number of well-known approximation domains are selected and tlieir usefulness for the application in hand is explained. Also, methods for using the information provided by such domains to improve parallelization are proposed. Local and global analyses are built using these domains and such analyses are embedded in a complete parallelizing compiler. Then, the performance of the domains (and the system in general) is assessed for this application through a number of experiments. We argüe that the results offer significant insight into the characteristics of these domains, the demands of the application, and the tradeoffs involved.
