Evolutionary Design of Combinational Circuits on Computer Cluster
Pánek, Richard ; Zachariášová, Marcela (referee) ; Hrbáček, Radek (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with evolutionary algorithms and how them to use to design of combinational circuits. Genetic programming especially CGP is the most applicable to use for this type of task. Furthermore, it deals with computation on computer cluster and the use of evolutionary algorithms on them. For this computation is the most suited island models with CGP. Then a new way of recombination in CGP is designed to improve them. This design is implemented and tested on the computer cluster.

Parallelisation of Ultrasound Simulations on Intel Xeon Phi Accelerator
Vrbenský, Andrej ; Hrbáček, Radek (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
Nowadays, the simulation of ultrasound acoustic waves has a wide range of practical usage. As one of them we can name the simulation in realistic tissue media, which is successfully used in medicine. There are several software applications dedicated to perform such simulations. k-Wave is one of them. The computational difficulty of the simulation itself is very high, and this leaves a space to explore new speed-up methods. In this master's thesis, we proposed a way to speed-up the simulation based on parallelization using Intel Xeon Phi accelerator. The accelerator contains large amount of cores and an extra-wide vector unit, and therefore, is ideal for purpose of parallelization and vectorization. The implementation is using OpenMP version 4.0, which brings some new options such as explicit vectorization. Results were measured during extensive experiments.

Dynamic Approximation of Digital Circuits
Jásenský, Michal ; Hrbáček, Radek (referee) ; Sekanina, Lukáš (advisor)
This bachelor's thesis deals with design of a method based on cartesian genetic programming, which allows the evolutionary design of circuits capable of dynamic reconfiguration. The goal of reconfiguration is to dynamically change the number of used components and thereby to change the accuracy of calculation. In this thesis, implementation of the proposed method is described. The method is experimentally verified and demonstrated on several selected circuits.

Mutation in Cartesian Genetic Programming
Končal, Ondřej ; Hrbáček, Radek (referee) ; Wiglasz, Michal (advisor)
This thesis examines various kinds of mutations in the Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) on tasks of symbolic regression. The CGP is kind of evolutionary algorithm which operates with executable structures. Programs in CGP are evolved using mutation, which leads to offspring evaluation, which is the most time-consuming part of the algorithm. Finding more suitable kind of mutation can significantly accelerate the creation of new individuals and thus, reduce the time necessary to find a satisfactory solution. This thesis presents four different mutations for CGP. Experiments compare these mutation operators to solve five tasks of symbolic regression. Experiments have shown that a choice of suitable mutation can almost double the computing speed in comparison to the standard mutation.

System for Supercomputer Automation Operation
Strečanský, Peter ; Hrbáček, Radek (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
The main goal of this thesis is to extend already existing software FabSim by a module, which allows automated supercomputer operation, especially with OpenPBS scheduler. This module was implemented with Python programming language, using Fabric module as its backbone. The scripts, which are executed with OpenPBS are stored as the templates. These templates are dynamically modified to suit users needs. This solution provides a complex set of methods, which allows full--featured operation of supercomputers, integration with git and data management on clusters. The module saves time and makes working with supercomputers much easier.

Evolutionary Design of Filters for Signal Processing
Dobiš, Tomáš ; Hrbáček, Radek (referee) ; Dobai, Roland (advisor)
Kalman filter is used for signal filtering dependent on filter configuration and prediction of values. It's configuration is difficult and requires experiences of mathematician. This thesis deals with implementation of method for signal processing with use of Cartesian genetic programming, which advantage includes the automated configuration of filter. Final method is compared on multiple testing examples with Kalman filter. From results we can infer, that implemented method works comparatively efficient on periodic and exponential signal inputs, and works significantly better on constant signal inputs than Kalman filter.

Coevolution in Evolutionary Circuit Design
Veřmiřovský, Jakub ; Hrbáček, Radek (referee) ; Drahošová, Michaela (advisor)
This thesis deals with evolutionary design of the digital circuits performed by a cartesian genetic programing and optimization by a coevolution. Algorithm coevolves fitness predictors that are optimized for a population of candidate digital circuits. The thesis presents theoretical basis, especially genetic programming, coevolution in genetic programming, design of the digital circuits, and deals with possibilities of the utilization of the coevolution in the combinational circuit design. On the basis of this proposal, the application designing and optimizing logical circuits is implemented. Application functionality is verified in the five test tasks. The comparison between Cartesian genetic programming with and without coevolution is considered. Then logical circuits evolved using cartesian genetic programming with and without coevolution is compared with conventional design methods. Evolution using coevolution has reduced the number of evaluation of circuits during evolution in comparison with standard cartesian genetic programming without coevolution and in some cases is found solution with better parameters (i.e. less logical gates or less delay).

High Performance Applications on Intel Xeon Phi Cluster
Kačurik, Tomáš ; Hrbáček, Radek (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
The main topic of this thesis is the implementation and subsequent optimization of high performance applications on a cluster of Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. Using two approaches to solve the N-Body problem, the possibilities of the program execution on a cluster of processors, coprocessors or both device types have been demonstrated. Two particular versions of the N-Body problem have been chosen - the naive and Barnes-hut. Both problems have been implemented and optimized. For better comparison of the achieved results, we only considered achieved acceleration against single node runs using processors only. In the case of the naive version a 15-fold increase has been achieved when using combination of processors and coprocessors on 8 computational nodes. The performance in this case was 9 TFLOP/s. Based on the obtained results we concluded the advantages and disadvantages of the program execution in the distributed environments using processors, coprocessors or both.

Dvořáček, Štěpán ; Hrbáček, Radek (referee) ; Krejsa, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with the realization of a specific MIDI controller being able to control a computer simulation of the Hammond organ. Theoretical part consists of a brief introduction to working with audio and MIDI on the computer. Next chapter describes Hammond organ and GSI Vb3 simulation resulting in a selection of the key control elements. Mechanical and electronic solution is described in the following chapters. A functional keyboard controller, which can be utilized in a recording studio or in a live performance was accomplished as a result of this thesis.
