MRI Data Processing Acceleration on GPU
Kešner, Filip ; Nečas, Ondřej (referee) ; Polok, Lukáš (advisor)
This BSc Thesis was performed during a study stay at the Universita della Svizzera italiana, Swiss. The identification of trajectories of neuron fibres within the human brain is of great importance in many medical applications as the neural diagnostics, neuronavigation, treatment of epilepsy, surgical removal of tumors and etc. By using diffusion MRI-data as input, and by employing Monte-Carlo like methods, possible trajectories are generated and the most likely ones can be visualized. These can serve as input for advanced medical diagnosis and treatments. Due to the huge amount of data to be analyzed and many iterations, this is a time consuming process. For the purposes such as statistical analysis and comparsion over several datasets or several patients, computational time requirements are enourmous. Faster diagnosis can improve routine throughput and provide earlier treatment of illness. At this time, there exists only a very few implementations of neural tractography sof tware. For probabilistic neural tractography is the list of software even thiner. Today's implementations using standard serial CPU execution suffer from high time consumption. The goal is to provide an efficient implementation which makes use of GPGPUs and exploits parallelism in the method. For the GPU implementation, a comparsion of CUDA and OpenCL technologies will be provided, using the more suitable one.

Simulation of Physical Phenomena Using Cellular Automata
Martinek, Dominik ; Smrčka, Aleš (referee) ; Peringer, Petr (advisor)
This master's thesis deals with modelling and simulation of physical phenomena by cellular automata. The basic methods which model physical phenomena is enumerated and descibed in this thesis. One of the important part of this thesis is a set of demonstration models. Each model is focused on one selected area of physical phenomena. All models are described by transtition rules and the procedure of derivation of these rules is also presented here. There rules were used in implemented models. Another part of this thesis contains of a simulation application for these models. The real application had been implemented in accord with this design and it has been used to perform the simulation experiments with exemplary models. Results of the simulation experiments are discussed in conclusion of this thesis. One exemplary model had also been adapted for parallel processing. The performances on a computer with different count of working processors were measured and are also discussed in the conclusion of this thesis

Algorithm Acceleration on Larrabee Platform
Veselý, Ivo ; Seeman, Michal (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
Intel Larrabee is one of the first of fully programmable graphical architectures. Thesis describes this many-core architecture by hardware implementation and programmer's model point of view. Larrabee bets on many complete in-order cores, built over x86 instruction set. Cores contains four hardware threads, each with it's own register file, and new vector processing unit. Vector processing unit together with instruction set extension rapidly increases system performance. New cache modes helps to increase throughput even when irregular data structures. This architecture is not focused only on computer graphics nor image processing, but all parallel tasks. Second part of this text deals with hologram synthesis. Specifically, it brings two new methods for patch of point light sources generation with concrete radiation.

Fast Reconstruction of Photoacoustic Images
Kukliš, Filip ; Dvořák, Václav (referee) ; Jaroš, Jiří (advisor)
The ability of reconstruction of photoacoustic images is important requirement to study soft tissues or vascular and lymphatic systems in high resulution but in small space. Today solution needs extensive computing power and it is noticeably time-consuming. In this study we would like to introduce a new solution which would be a way much faster and easy to use. My solution is up to 20x faster and needs forty percent less memory. This solution may be a better alternative for scietnist who study soft tissues by photoacoustic imaging.

Techniques for parallel computing
Vodák, René ; Hasmanda, Martin (referee) ; Lattenberg, Ivo (advisor)
The text of this thesis deals with techniques of parallel processing calculations. It is an analysis of the most important libraries for parallelization including libraries for parallelization on GPU graphics cards and computing speed by comparing these libraries in Visual Studio 2010 based on a simple application searching primes on three different computer hardware configurations. With OpenCL library, that achieved the best result, there are formed two applications – an improved program for searching prime numbers using the sieve of Eratosthenes and a program for calculating the integral with the trapezoidal rule.

Deformation mechanisms in crystals by means of molecular dynamics
Lamberský, Vojtěch ; Grepl, Robert (referee) ; Černý, Miroslav (advisor)
This work deals with molecular dynamics modeling of processes in condensed matter on atomic level. The physical principles used to predict motion of atom or molecule groups are described in the retrieval part. Then follows a description of the EAM method, ways how to parallelize computing on many processors and how perform calculation optimizing. Finally, we perform a theoretical tensile strength computation using Lammps program.

Parallel numerical simulation of airflow past an oscillating NACA0015 airfoil
Řidký, Václav ; Šidlof, Petr ; Vlček, Václav
This paper focuses on 3D and 2D parallel computation of pressure and velocity fields around an elastically supported airfoil self-oscillating due to interaction with the airflow The results of numerical simulations are compared with data measured in a wind tunnel, where physical model of a NACA0015 airfoil was mounted and tuned to exhibit the flutter instability. The experimental results were obtained previously in the Institute of Thermomechanics by interferometric measurements in a subsonic wind tunnel in Nový Knín. For the numerical solution is implemented in OpenFOAM, an open-source software package based on finite volume method. In the numerical solution is prescribed displacement of the airfoil, which corresponds to the experiment.
