Designing for Data-Driven Seismology in Europe

Presentation Type: 
poster

Modern seismologists are presented with increasing amounts of data that may help them better understand the Earth’s structure and systems. However:
- they have to access these data from globally distributed sites via different transfer protocols and security mechanisms;
- to analyse these data they need to access remote powerful computing facilities;
- their experiments result in yet more data that need to be shared with scientific communities around the world.

Extension of Rapid for submiting jobs to the best computational resource available depending of the features of the jobs.

16 November 2012 - 3:28pm — Rosa.Filgueira

In EFFORT project and in others, there are difference kind of jobs that must be submitted to a computational resource. Due of the characteristics of the job, sometimes the best computational resource could be EDIM1 (in case the job requires work with a huge volume of data), sometimes could be a typical cluster like ECDF (in case the job requires high performance computing), and other will be enough send the job to the esciences1-8 machines (for small and quick computation).

Automatic Lesion Area Detection Using Source Image Correlation Coefficient for CT Perfusion Imaging

16 November 2012 - 3:18pm — Fan.Zhu
Speaker(s): 
Fan.Zhu
Presentation Type: 
poster

Computer tomography (CT) perfusion imaging is widely used to calculate brain hemodynamic quantities such as Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF), Cerebral Blood Volume (CBV) and Mean Transit Time (MTT) that aid the diagnosis of acute stroke. Since perfusion source images contain more information than hemodynamic maps, good utilisation of the source images can lead to better understanding than the hemodynamic maps alone. Correlation-coefficient tests are used in our approach to measure the similarity between healthy tissue time-concentration curves and unknown curves.
