<p>I will talk about how Python was used to solve our problems for |
103 |
the Hubble Space Telescope. From humble beginnings as a glue |
|
104 |
element for our legacy software, it has become a cornerstone of |
|
105 |
our scientific software for HST and the next large space |
|
106 |
telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, as well as many other |
|
107 |
astronomy projects. The talk will also cover some of the history |
|
108 |
of essential elements for scientific Python and where future |
|
109 |
work is needed, and why Python is so well suited for scientific |
|
110 |
software. |

<p>IPython is a widely used system for interactive computing in |
130 |
Python that extends the capabilities of the Python shell with |
|
131 |
operating system access, powerful object introspection, |
|
132 |
customizable "magic" commands and many more features. It also |
|
133 |
contains a set of tools to control parallel computations via |
|
134 |
high-level interfaces that can be used either interactively or |
|
135 |
in long-running batch mode. In this talk I will outline some of |
|
136 |
the main features of IPython as it has been widely adopted by |
|
137 |
the scientific Python user base, and will then focus on recent |
|
138 |
developments. Using the high performance ZeroMQ networking |
|
139 |
library, we have recently restructured IPython to decouple the |
|
140 |
kernel executing user code from the control interface. This |
|
141 |
allows us to expose multiple clients with different |
|
142 |
capabilities, including a terminal-based one, a rich Qt client |
|
143 |
and a web-based one with full matplotlib support. In conjunction |
|
144 |
with the new HTML5 matplotlib backend, this architecture opens |
|
145 |
the door for a rich web-based environment for interactive, |
|
146 |
collaborative and parallel computing. There is much interesting |
|
147 |
development to be done on this front, and I hope to encourage |
|
148 |
participants at the sprints during the conference to join this |
|
149 |
effort. |

<p>matplotlib, a python package for making sophisticated |
196 |
publication quality 2D graphics, and some 3D, has long supported |
|
197 |
a wide variety of basic plotting types such line graphs, bar |
|
198 |
charts, images, spectral plots, and more. In this talk, we will |
|
199 |
look at some of the new features and performance enhancements in |
|
200 |
matplotlib as well as some of the comparatively undiscovered |
|
201 |
features such as interacting with your data and graphics, and |
|
202 |
animating plot elements with the new animations API. We will |
|
203 |
explore the performance with large datasets utilizing the new |
|
204 |
path simplification algorithm, and discuss areas where |
|
205 |
performance improvements are still needed. Finally, we will |
|
206 |
demonstrate the new HTML5 backend, which in combination with the |
|
207 |
new HTML5 IPython front-end under development, will enable an |
|
208 |
interactive Python shell with interactive graphics in a web |

<p>Mayavi is a powerful 3D plotting package implemented in |
|
228 |
Python. It includes both a standalone user interface along with |
|
229 |
a powerful yet simple scripting interface. The key feature of |
|
230 |
Mayavi though is that it allows a Python user to rapidly |
|
231 |
visualize data in the form of NumPy arrays. Apart from these |
|
232 |
basic features, Mayavi has some advanced features. These |
|
233 |
include, automatic script recording, embedding into a custom |
|
234 |
user dialog and application. Mayavi can also be run in an |
|
235 |
offscreen mode and be embedded in a sage notebook |
|
236 |
(<a href="http://www.sagemath.org">http://www.sagemath.org</a>). We will first rapidly demonstrate |
|
237 |
these key features of Mayavi. We will then discuss some of the |
|
238 |
underlying technologies like enthought.traits, traitsUI and TVTK |
|
239 |
that form the basis of Mayavi. The objective of this is to |
|
240 |
demonstrate the wide range of capabilities that both Mayavi and |
|
241 |
its underlying technologies provide the Python programmer. |

<p>Current neuroimaging software offer users an incredible |
|
260 |
opportunity to analyze their data in different ways, with |
|
261 |
different underlying assumptions. However, this has resulted in |
|
262 |
a heterogeneous collection of specialized applications without |
|
263 |
transparent interoperability or a uniform operating |
|
264 |
interface. Nipype, an open-source, community-developed |
|
265 |
initiative under the umbrella of Nipy, is a Python project that |
|
266 |
solves these issues by providing a uniform interface to existing |
|
267 |
neuroimaging software and by facilitating interaction between |
|
268 |
these packages within a single workflow. Nipype provides an |
|
269 |
environment that encourages interactive exploration of |
|
270 |
neuroimaging algorithms from different packages, eases the |
|
271 |
design of workflows within and between packages, and reduces the |
|
272 |
learning curve necessary to use different packages. Nipype is |
|
273 |
creating a collaborative platform for neuroimaging software |
|
274 |
development in a high-level language and addressing limitations |
|
275 |
of existing pipeline systems. |

<p>Host software using Python interpreter language to communicate |

411 |
with the USB Mass Storage class device is developed and |
|
412 |
tested. The <sub>usic18F4550</sub>.pyd module encapsulating all the |
|
413 |
functions needed to configure USB is developed. The Python |
|
414 |
extension .pyd using C/C++ functions compatible for Windows make |
|
415 |
use of SWIG, distutils and MinGW. SWIG gives the flexibility to |
|
416 |
access lower level C/C++ code through more convenient and higher |
|
417 |
level languages such as Python, Java, etc. Simplified Wrapper and |
|
418 |
Interface Generator (SWIG) is a middle interface between Python |
|
419 |
and C/C++. The purpose of the Python interface is to allow the |
|
420 |
user to initialize and configure USB through a convenient |
|
421 |
scripting layer. The module is built around libusb which can |
|
422 |
control an USB device with just a few lines. Libusb-win32 is a |
|
423 |
port of the USB library to the Windows operating system. The |
|
424 |
library allows user space applications to access any USB device on |
|
425 |
Windows in a generic way without writing any line of kernel driver |
|
426 |
code. A simple data acquisition system for measuring analog |
|
427 |
voltage, setting and reading the status of a particular pin of the |
|
428 |
micro controller is fabricated. It is interfaced to PC using USB |
|
429 |
port that confirms to library USB win32 device. The USB DAQ |
|
430 |
hardware consists of a PIC18F4550 micro-controller and the |
|

essential components needed for USB configuration. |

<p>This paper describes the automation performed for an Optical |
|
453 |
Spectrometer in order to precisely monitor angles, change |
|
454 |
dispersing angle and hence measure wave length of light using a |
|
455 |
data logger, necessary hardware and Python. Automating instruments |
|
456 |
through programs provides great deal of power, flexibility and |
|
457 |
precision. Optical Spectrometers are devices which analyze the |
|
458 |
wave length of light, and are typically used to identify |
|
459 |
materials, and study their optical properties. A broad spectrum of |
|
460 |
light is dispersed using a grating and the dispersed light is |
|
461 |
measured using a photo transistor. The signal is processed and |
|
462 |
acquired using a data logger. Transfer of data, changing angle of |
|
463 |
diffraction are all done using the Python. The angle of |
|
464 |
diffraction is varied by rotating the detector to pick up lines |
|
465 |
using a stepper motor. The Stepper motor has 180 steps or 2 |
|
466 |
degrees per step. A resolution of 0.1 degree is achieved in the |
|
467 |
spectrometer by using the proper gear ratio. The data logger is |
|
468 |
interfaced to the computer through a serial port. The stepper |
|
469 |
motor is also interfaced to the computer through another serial |
|
470 |
port. Python is chosen here for its succinct notation and is |
|
471 |
implemented in a Linux environment. |

<p>The python module "RemNoise" is presented. It allows user to |
|
528 |
automatically denoise one-dimensional signal using wavelet |
|
529 |
transform. It also removes baseline wandering and motion |
|
530 |
artifacts. While RemNoise is developed primarily for biological |
|
531 |
signals like ECG, its design is generic enough that it should be |
|
532 |
useful to applications involving one-dimensional signals. The |
|
533 |
basic idea behind this work is to use multi-resolution property of |
|
534 |
wavelet transform that allows to study non-stationary signals in |
|
535 |
greater depth. Any signal can be decomposed into detail and |
|
536 |
approximation coefficients, which can further be decomposed into |
|
537 |
higher levels and this approach can be used to analyze the signal |
|
538 |
in time-frequency domain. The very first step in any |
|
539 |
data-processing application is to pre-process the data to make it |
|
540 |
noise-free. Removing noise using wavelet transform involves |
|
541 |
transforming the dataset into wavelet domain, zero out all |
|
542 |
transform coefficients using suitable thresholding method and |
|
543 |
reconstruct the data by taking its inverse wavelet transform. This |
|
544 |
module makes use of PyWavelets, Numpy and Matplotlib libraries in |
|
545 |
Python, and involves thresholding wavelet coefficients of the data |
|
546 |
using one of the several thresholding methods. It also allows |
|
547 |
multiplicative threshold rescaling to take into consideration |
|
548 |
detail coefficients in each level of wavelet decomposition. The |
|
549 |
user can select wavelet family and level of decompositions as |
|
550 |
required. To evaluate the module, we experimented with several |
|
551 |
complex one-dimensional signals and compared the results with |
|
552 |
equivalent procedures in MATLAB. The results showed that RemNoise |
|
553 |
is excellent module to preprocess data for noise-removal. |

The Texas Water Development Board(TWDB) collects hydrographic |
|
577 |
survey data in lakes, rivers and estuaries. The data collected |
|
578 |
includes single, dual and tri-frequency echo sounder data |
|
579 |
collected in conjunction with survey grade GPS systems. This raw |
|
580 |
data is processed to develop accurate representations of |
|
581 |
bathymetry and sedimentation in the water bodies surveyed. |
|
582 |
</p> |
|
583 |
<p> |
|
584 |
This talk provides an overview of how the Texas Water Development |
|
585 |
Board (TWDB) is using python to streamline and automate the |
|
586 |
process of converting raw hydrographic survey data to finished |
|
587 |
products that can then be used in other engineering applications |
|
588 |
such as hydrodynamic models, determining lake |
|
589 |
elevation-area-capacity relationships and sediment contour maps, |
|
590 |
etc. |
|
591 |
</p> |
|
592 |
<p> |
|
593 |
The first part of this talk will present HyPy, a python module |
|
594 |
(i.e. function library) for hydrographic survey data |
|
595 |
analysis. This module contains functions to read in data from |
|
596 |
several brands of depth sounders, conduct anisotropic |
|
597 |
interpolations along river channels, apply tidal and elevation |
|
598 |
corrections, apply corrections to boat path due to loss of GPS |
|
599 |
signals as well as a variety of convenience functions for dealing |
|
600 |
with spatial data. |
|
601 |
</p> |
|
602 |
<p> |
|
603 |
In the second part of the talk we present HydroPic, a simple |
|
604 |
Traits based application built of top of HyPy. HydroPic is |
|
605 |
designed to semi-automate the determination of sediment volume in |
|
606 |
a lake. Current techniques require the visual inspection of images |
|
607 |
of echo sounder returns along each individual profile. We show |
|
608 |
that this current methodology is slow and subject to high human |
|
609 |
variability. We present a new technique that uses computer vision |
|
610 |
edge detection algorithms available in python to semi-automate |
|
611 |
this process. HydroPic wraps these algorithms into a easy to use |
|
612 |
interface that allows efficient processing of data for an entire |
|
613 |
lake. |

<p>Flow field for imperfectly expanded jet has been simulated using |
633 |
Python for prediction of jet screech frequency. This plays an |
|
634 |
important role in the design of advanced aircraft engine nozzle, |
|
635 |
since screech could cause sonic fatigue failure. For computation, |
|
636 |
unsteady axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equation is solved using fifth |
|
637 |
order Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) scheme with a |
|
638 |
subgrid scale Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) model. Smagorinsky’s |
|
639 |
eddy viscosity model is used for subgrid scale modeling with |
|
640 |
second order (Total Variation Diminishing) TVD Runge Kutta time |
|
641 |
stepping. The performance of Python code is enhanced by using |
|
642 |
different Cython constructs like declaration of variables and |
|
643 |
numpy arrays, switching off bound check and wrap around etc. Speed |
|
644 |
up obtained from these methods have been individually clocked and |
|
645 |
compared with the Python code as well as an existing in-house C |
|
646 |
code. Profiling was used to highlight and eliminate the expensive |
|
647 |
sections of the code. |
|
648 |
</p> |
|
649 |
<p> |
|
650 |
Further, both shared and distributed memory architectures have |
|
651 |
been employed for parallelization. Shared memory parallel |
|
652 |
processing is implemented through a thread based model by manual |
|
653 |
release of Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). GIL ensures safe and |
|
654 |
exclusive access of Python interpreter internals to running |
|
655 |
thread. Hence while one thread is running with GIL the other |
|
656 |
threads are put on hold until the running thread ends or is forced |
|
657 |
to wait. Therefore to run two threads simultaneously, GIL was |
|
658 |
manually released using "with nogil" statement. The relative |
|
659 |
independence of radial and axial spatial derivative computation |
|
660 |
provides an option of putting them in parallel threads. On the |
|
661 |
other hand, distributed memory parallel processing is through MPI |
|
662 |
based domain decomposition, where the domain is split radially |
|
663 |
with an interface of three grid points. Each sub-domain is |
|
664 |
delegated to a different processor and communication, in the form |
|
665 |
of message transmission, ensures update of interface grid |
|
666 |
points. Performance analyses with increase in number of processors |
|
667 |
indicate a trade-off between computation and communication. A |
|
668 |
combined thread and MPI based model is attempted to harness the |
|
669 |
benefits from both forms of architectures. |

Network simulation has great significance in the research areas of |
|
693 |
modern networks. The ns-2 is the popular simulation tool which |
|
694 |
proved this, in the successive path of ns-2 by maintaining the |
|
695 |
efficiency of the existing mechanism it has been explored with a |
|
696 |
new face and enhanced power of python scripting in ns-3. Python |
|
697 |
scripting can be added to legacy projects just as well as new |
|
698 |
ones, so developers don't have to abandon their old C/C++ code |
|
699 |
libraries, but in the ns-2 it is not possible to run a simulation |
|
700 |
purely from C++ (i.e., as a main() program without any OTcl), ns-3 |
|
701 |
does have new capabilities (such as handling multiple interfaces |
|
702 |
on nodes correctly, use of IP addressing and more alignment with |
|
703 |
Internet protocols and designs, more detailed 802.11 models, etc.) |
|
704 |
</p> |
|
705 |
<p> |
|
706 |
In ns-3, the simulator is written entirely in C++, with optional |
|
707 |
Python bindings. Simulation scripts can therefore be written in |
|
708 |
C++ or in Python. The results of some simulations can be |
|
709 |
visualized by nam, but new animators are under development. Since |
|
710 |
ns-3 generates pcap packet trace files, other utilities can be |
|
711 |
used to analyze traces as well. |
|
712 |
</p> |
|
713 |
<p> |
|
714 |
In this paper the efficiency and effectiveness of IP addressing |
|
715 |
simulation model of ns-3 is compared with the ns-2 simulation |
|
716 |
model,ns-3 model consisting of the scripts written in Python which |
|
717 |
makes the modeling simpler and effective |

<p>The primary objective is defining a centralized testing |
738 |
environment and a model of testing framework which integrates all |
|
739 |
projects in testing in a single unit. |
|
740 |
</p> |
|
741 |
<p> |
|
742 |
The implementation of concurrent processing systems and adopting |
|
743 |
client server architecture and with partitioned server zones for |
|
744 |
environment manipulation, allows the server to run test requests |
|
745 |
from different projects with different environment and testing |
|
746 |
requests. The implementation provides features of auto-test |
|
747 |
generation, scheduled job run from server, thin and thick clients. |
|
748 |
</p> |
|
749 |
||
750 |
<p> |
|
751 |
The core engine facilitates the management of tests from all the |
|
752 |
clients with priority and remote scheduling. It has an extended |
|
753 |
configuration utility to manipulate test parameters and watch |
|
754 |
dynamic changes. It not only acts as a request pre-preprocessor |
|
755 |
but also a sophisticated test bed by its implementation. It is |
|
756 |
provided with storage and manipulation segment for every |
|
757 |
registered project in the server zone. The system schedules and |
|
758 |
records events and user activities thereby the results can be |
|
759 |
drilled and examined to core code level with activates and system |
|
760 |
states at the test event point. |
|
761 |
</p> |
|
762 |
<p> |
|
763 |
The system generates test cases both in human readable as well as |
|
764 |
executable system formats. The generated tests are based on a |
|
765 |
pre-defined logic in the system which can be extended to adopt new |
|
766 |
cases based on user requests. These are facilitated by a template |
|
767 |
system which has a predefined set of cases for various test types |
|
768 |
like compatibility, load, performance, code coverage, dependency |
|
769 |
and compliance testing. It is also extended with capabilities like |
|
770 |
centralized directory systems for user management with roles and |
|
771 |
privileges for authentication and authorization, global mailer |
|
772 |
utilities, Result consolidator and Visualizer. |
|
773 |
</p> |
|
774 |
<p> |
|
775 |
With the effective implementation of the system with its minimal |
|
776 |
requirements, the entire testing procedure can be automated with |
|
777 |
the testers being effectively used for configuring, ideating and |
|
778 |
managing the test system and scenarios. The overhead of managing |
|
779 |
the test procedures like environment pre-processing, test |
|
780 |
execution, results collection and presentation are completely |
|
781 |
evaded from the testing life cycle. |

<p>A system for distance learning in the field of Physics and |
|
803 |
Electricity has been used for three years with some success for 15 |
|
804 |
years old students. The students are given a little case |
|
805 |
containing a PHOENIX box (see |
|
806 |
<a href="http://www.iuac.res.in/~elab/phoenix/">http://www.iuac.res.in/~elab/phoenix/</a>) featuring electric analog |
|
807 |
and digital I/O interfaces, some unexpensive discrete components |
|
808 |
and a live (bootable) USB stick. |
|
809 |
</p> |
|
810 |
<p> |
|
811 |
The PHOENIX project was started by Inter University Accelerator |
|
812 |
Centre in New Delhi, with the objective of improving the |
|
813 |
laboratory facilities at Indian Universities, and growing with the |
|
814 |
support of the user community. PHOENIX depends heavily on Python |
|
815 |
language. The data acquisition, analysis and writing simulation |
|
816 |
programs to teach science and computation. |
|
817 |
</p> |
|
818 |
<p> |
|
819 |
The hardware design of PHOENIX box is freely available. |
|
820 |
</p> |
|
821 |
<p> |
|
822 |
The live bootable stick provides a free/libre operating system, |
|
823 |
and a few dozens educational applications, including applications |
|
824 |
developed with Scipy to drive the PHOENIX box and manage the |
|
825 |
acquired measurements. The user interface has been made as |
|
826 |
intuitive as possible: the main window shows a photo of the front |
|
827 |
face of the PHOENIX acquisition device, its connections behaving |
|
828 |
like widgets to express their states, and a subwindow displays in |
|
829 |
real time the signals connected to it. A booklet gives |
|
830 |
general-purpose hints for the usage of the acquisition device. The |
|
831 |
educational interaction is done with a free learning management |
|
832 |
system. |
|
833 |
</p> |
|
834 |
<p> |
|
835 |
The talk will show how such live media can be used as powerful |
|
836 |
training systems, allowing students to access at home exactly the |
|
837 |
same environment they can find in the school, and providing them a |
|
838 |
lot of structured examples. |

This talk addresses people who are involved in education and |
|
842 |
training in scientific fields. It describes one method which |
|
843 |
allows distance learning (however requiring a few initial lessons |
|
844 |
to be given non-remotely), and enables students to become fluent |
|
845 |
with Python and its scientific extensions, while learning physics |
|
846 |
and electricity. This method uses Internet connections to allow |
|
847 |
remote interactions, but does not rely on a wide bandwidth, as the |
|
848 |
complete learning environment is provided by the live medium, |
|
849 |
which is shared by teacher and students after their beginning |
|
850 |
lessons. |

<p>Electronics in industrial has been passing through revolution due |
|
961 |
to extensive use of Microcontroller. These electronic devices are |
|
962 |
having a high capability to handle multiple events. Their |
|
963 |
capability to communicate with the computers has made the |
|
964 |
revolution possible. Therefore it is very important to have |
|
965 |
trained Personnel in Microcontroller. In the present work |
|
966 |
experiments for study of Microcontrollers and its peripherals with |
|
967 |
Simulation using Python is carried out. This facilitates the |
|
968 |
teachers to demonstrate the experiments in the classroom sessions |
|
969 |
using simulations. Then the same experiments can be carried out in |
|
970 |
the labs (using the same simulation setup) and the microcontroller |
|
971 |
hardware to visualize and understand the experiments. Python is |
|
972 |
selected due to its versatility and also to promote the use of |
|
973 |
open source software in the education. |

Here we demonstrate the experiment of driving seven segment |
|
977 |
displays by microcontroller. Four seven segment displays are |
|
978 |
interfaced with the microcontroller through a single BCD to seven |
|
979 |
segments Display Decoder/Driver (74LS47) and switching |
|
980 |
transistors. The microcontroller switches on the first transistor |
|
981 |
connected to the first display and puts the number to be displayed |
|
982 |
on 74LS47. Then it pause a while, switches off the first display |
|
983 |
and puts the number to be displayed on the second display and |
|
984 |
switches it on. A similar action is carried out for all the |
|
985 |
display and the cycle is repeated again and again. Now we can |
|
986 |
control the microcontroller action using the serial port of the |
|
987 |
computer through python. Simulating the seven segment display |
|
988 |
using VPYTHON module and communicating the same action to the |
|
989 |
microcontroller, we can demonstrate the switching action of the |
|
990 |
display at a very slow rate. It is possible to actually see each |
|
991 |
display glowing individually one after another. Now we can |
|
992 |
gradually increase the rate of switching the display. You see each |
|
993 |
display glowing for a few milliseconds. Finally the refresh rate |
|
994 |
is taken very high to around more than 25 times a second we see |
|
995 |
that all the display glowing simultaneously. |
|
996 |
</p> |
|
997 |
<p> |
|
998 |
Hence it is possible to simulate and demonstrate experiments and |
|
999 |
understand the capabilities of the microcontroller with a lot of |
|
1000 |
ease and at a very low cost. |

<p>The idea is to demonstrate the PyProt (Python Proteomics), an |
|
1057 |
approach to classify mass spectrometry data and efficient use of |
|
1058 |
statistical methods to look for the potential prevalent disease |
|
1059 |
markers and proteomic pattern diagnostics. Serum proteomic pattern |
|
1060 |
diagnostics can be used to differentiate samples from the patients |
|
1061 |
with and without disease. Profile patterns are generated using |
|
1062 |
surface-enhanced laser desorption and ionization (SELDI) protein |
|
1063 |
mass spectrometry. This technology has the potential to improve |
|
1064 |
clinical diagnostic tests for cancer pathologies. There are two |
|
1065 |
datasets used in this study which are taken from the FDA-NCI |
|
1066 |
Clinical Proteomics Program Databank. First data is of ovarian |
|
1067 |
cancer and second is of Premalignant Pancreatic Cancer .The Pyprot |
|
1068 |
uses the high-resolution ovarian cancer data set that was |
|
1069 |
generated using the WCX2 protein array. The ovarian cancer dataset |
|
1070 |
includes 95 controls and 121 ovarian cancer sets, where as |
|
1071 |
pancreatic cancer dataset has 101 controls and 80 pancreatic |
|
1072 |
cancer sets. There are two modules designed and implemented in |
|
1073 |
python using Numpy , Scipy and Matplotlib. There are two different |
|
1074 |
kinds of classifications implemented here, first to classify the |
|
1075 |
ovarian cancer data set. Second type focuses on randomly |
|
1076 |
commingled study set of murine sera. it explores the ability of |
|
1077 |
the low molecular weight information archive to classify and |
|
1078 |
discriminate premalignant pancreatic cancer compared to the |
|
1079 |
control animals. |
|
1080 |
</p> |
|
1081 |
<p> |
|
1082 |
A crucial issue for classification is feature selection which |
|
1083 |
selects the relevant features in order to focus the learning |
|
1084 |
search. A relaxed setting for feature selection is known as |
|
1085 |
feature ranking, which ranks the features with respect to their |
|
1086 |
relevance. Pyprot comprises of two modules; First includes |
|
1087 |
implementation of feature ranking in Python using fisher ratio and |
|
1088 |
t square statistical test to avoid large feature space. In second |
|
1089 |
module, Multilayer perceptron (MLP) feed forward neural network |
|
1090 |
model with static back propagation algorithm is used to classify |
|
1091 |
.The results are excellent and matched with databank results and |
|
1092 |
concludes that PyProt is useful tool for proteomic finger |
|
1093 |
printing. |

1153 |
<p>A 3D flow solver for incompressible flow around arbitrary 3D |
|
1154 |
bodies is developed. The solver is based on vortex methods whose |
|
1155 |
grid-free nature makes it very general. It uses vortex particles |
|
1156 |
to represent the flow-field. Vortex particles (or blobs) are |
|
1157 |
released from the boundary, and these advect, stretch and diffuse |
|
1158 |
according to the Navier-Stokes equations. |
|
1159 |
</p> |
|
1160 |
<p> |
|
1161 |
The solver is based on a generic and extensible design. This has |
|
1162 |
been made possible mainly by following a universal theme of using |
|
1163 |
blobs in every component of the solver. Advection of the |
|
1164 |
particles is implemented using a parallel fast multipole |
|
1165 |
method. Diffusion is simulated using the Vorticity Redistribution |
|
1166 |
Technique (VRT). To control the number of blobs, merging of nearby |
|
1167 |
blobs is also performed. |
|
1168 |
</p> |
|
1169 |
<p> |
|
1170 |
Each component of the solver is parallelized. The boundary, |
|
1171 |
advection and stretching algorithms are based on the same parallel |
|
1172 |
velocity algorithm. Domain decomposition for parallel velocity |
|
1173 |
calculator is performed using Space Filling Curves. Diffusion, |
|
1174 |
which requires knowledge of each particle's neighbours, uses a |
|
1175 |
parallelized fast neighbour finder which is based on a bin data |
|
1176 |
structure. The same neighbour finder is used in merging also. |
|
1177 |
</p> |
|
1178 |
<p> |
|
1179 |
The code is written completely in Python. It is well-documented |
|
1180 |
and well-tested. The code base is around 4500 lines long. The |
|
1181 |
design follows an object oriented approach which makes it |
|
1182 |
extensible enough to add new features and alternate algorithms to |
|
1183 |
perform specific tasks. |
|
1184 |
</p> |
|
1185 |
<p> |
|
1186 |
The solver is also designed to run in a parallel environment |
|
1187 |
involving multiple processors. This parallel implementation is |
|
1188 |
written using mpi4py, an MPI implementation in Python. |
|
1189 |
</p> |
|
1190 |
<p> |
|
1191 |
Rigorous testing is performed using Python's unittest module. Some |
|
1192 |
standard example cases are also solved using the present solver. |
|
1193 |
</p> |
|
1194 |
<p> |
|
1195 |
In this talk we will outline the overall design of the solver and |
|
1196 |
the algorithms used. We discuss the benefits of Python and also |
|
1197 |
some of the current limitations with respect to parallel testing. |

<p>Next generation Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) is targeting |
|
1218 |
at multi giga bits per second throughput by utilizing the |
|
1219 |
unlicensed spectrum available at 60 GHz, millimeter wavelength |
|
1220 |
(mmwave).Towards achieving the above goal a new standard namely |
|
1221 |
the 802.11ad is under consideration. Due to the limited range and |
|
1222 |
other typical characteristics like high path loss etc., of these |
|
1223 |
mmwave radios the requirement of the Medium Access Control (MAC) |
|
1224 |
are totally different. |
|
1225 |
</p> |
|
1226 |
<p> |
|
1227 |
The conventional MAC protocols tend to achieve different |
|
1228 |
objectives under different conditions. For example, the (Carrier |
|
1229 |
Sense Multiple Access / Collision Avoidance) CSMA/CA technique is |
|
1230 |
robust and simple and works well in overlapping network |
|
1231 |
scenarios. It is also suitable for bursty type of traffic. On the |
|
1232 |
other hand CSMA/CA is not suitable for power management since it |
|
1233 |
needs the stations to be awake always. Moreover it requires an |
|
1234 |
omni directional antenna pattern for the receiver which is |
|
1235 |
practically not feasible in 60 GHz band. |
|
1236 |
</p> |
|
1237 |
<p> |
|
1238 |
A Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) based MAC is efficient for |
|
1239 |
Quality of Service (QoS) sensitive traffic. It is also useful for |
|
1240 |
power saving since the station knows their schedule and can |
|
1241 |
therefore power down in non scheduled periods. |
|
1242 |
</p> |
|
1243 |
<p> |
|
1244 |
For 60 GHz usages especially applications like wireless display, |
|
1245 |
sync and go, and large file transfer, TDMA appears to be a |
|
1246 |
suitable choice. Whereas for applications that require low latency |
|
1247 |
channel access (e.g. Internet access etc.)TDMA appears to be |
|
1248 |
inefficient due to the latency involved in bandwidth reservation. |
|
1249 |
</p> |
|
1250 |
<p> |
|
1251 |
Another choice is the polling MAC which is highly efficient for |
|
1252 |
the directional communication in the 60 GHz band. This provides an |
|
1253 |
improved data rates with directional communication as well as acts |
|
1254 |
as an interference mitigation scheme. On the contrary polling may |
|
1255 |
not be efficient for power saving and also not efficient to take |
|
1256 |
advantage of statistical traffic multiplexing. This technique also |
|
1257 |
leads to wastage of power due to polling the stations without |
|
1258 |
traffic to transmit. |
|
1259 |
</p> |
|
1260 |
<p> |
|
1261 |
Having the above facts in mind and considering the variety of |
|
1262 |
applications involved in the next generation WLAN systems |
|
1263 |
operating at 60 GHz, it can be concluded that no individual MAC |
|
1264 |
scheme can support the traffic requirements. |
|
1265 |
</p> |
|
1266 |
<p> |
|
1267 |
In this paper we use SimPy to do a Discrete Event Simulation |
|
1268 |
modeling of a proposed hybrid MAC protocol which dynamically |
|
1269 |
adjusts the channel times between contention and reservation based |
|
1270 |
MAC schemes, based on the traffic demand in the network. |
|
1271 |
</p> |
|
1272 |
<p> |
|
1273 |
We plan to model the problem of admission control and scheduling |
|
1274 |
using DES using SimPy. SimPy v2.1.0 is being used for the |
|
1275 |
simulation purposes of the proposed Hybrid MAC. We are new to |
|
1276 |
using Python for scientific purposes and have just begun using |
|
1277 |
this powerful tool to get meaningful and useful results. We plan |
|
1278 |
to share our learning experience and how SimPy is increasingly |
|
1279 |
becoming a useful tool (apart from regular modeling tools like |
|
1280 |

<p> |
|
1304 |
We present a python/cython implementation of an SPH framework |
|
1305 |
called PySPH. SPH (Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics) is a numerical |
|
1306 |
technique for the solution of the continuum equations of fluid and |
|
1307 |
solid mechanics. |
|
1308 |
</p> |
|
1309 |
<p> |
|
1310 |
PySPH was written to be a tool which requires only a basic working |
|
1311 |
knowledge of python. Although PySPH may be run on distributed |
|
1312 |
memory machines, no working knowledge of parallelism is required |
|
1313 |
of the user as the same code may be run either in serial or in |
|
1314 |
parallel only by proper invocation of the mpirun command. |
|
1315 |
</p> |
|
1316 |
<p> |
|
1317 |
In PySPH, we follow the message passing paradigm, using the mpi4py |
|
1318 |
python binding. The performance critical aspects of the SPH |
|
1319 |
algorithm are optimized with cython which provides the look and |
|
1320 |
feel of python but the performance near to that of a C/C++ |
|
1321 |
implementation. |
|
1322 |
</p> |
|
1323 |
<p> |
|
1324 |
PySPH is divided into three main modules. The base module provides |
|
1325 |
the data structures for the particles, and algorithms for nearest |
|
1326 |
neighbor retrieval. The sph module builds on this to describe the |
|
1327 |
interactions between particles and defines classes to manage this |
|
1328 |
interaction. These two modules provide the basic functionality as |
|
1329 |
dictated by the SPH algorithm and of these, a developer would most |
|
1330 |
likely be working with the sph module to enhance the functionality |
|
1331 |
of PySPH. The solver module typically manages the simulation being |
|
1332 |
run. Most of the functions and classes in this module are written |
|
1333 |
in pure python which makes is relatively easy to write new solvers |
|
1334 |
based on the provided functionality. |
|
1335 |
</p> |
|
1336 |
<p> |
|
1337 |
We use PySPH to solve the shock tube problem in gas dynamics and |
|
1338 |
the classical dam break problem for incompressible fluids. We also |
|
1339 |
demonstrate how to extend PySPH to solve a problem in solid |
|
1340 |
mechanics which requires additions to the sph module. |
|

<p>The aim of this talk is to get students, specially undergrads |
|
1360 |
excited about Python. Most of what will be shown, is out there on |
|
1361 |
the Open web. We just wish to draw attention of the students and |
|
1362 |
get them excited about Python and possibly image processing and |
|
1363 |
may be even cognition. We hope that this talk will help retain |
|
1364 |
more participants for the tutorials and sprint sessions. |
|

The talk will have two parts. The talk will not consist of any |
|
1368 |
deep research or amazing code. It's a mash-up of some weekend |
|
1369 |
hacks, if they could be called so. We reiterate that the idea is |
|
1370 |
not to show the algorithms or the code and ideas. It is, to show |
|
1371 |
the power that Python gives. |
|
1372 |
</p> |
|
1373 |
<p> |
|
1374 |
The first part of the talk will deal with the colour Blue. We'll |
|
1375 |
show some code to illustrate how our eyes suck at blue (1), if |
|
1376 |
they really do. But, ironically, a statistical analysis that we |
|
1377 |
did on "Rolling Stones Magazine's Top 500 Songs of All time" (2), |
|
1378 |
revealed that the occurrences of blue are more than twice the |
|
1379 |
number of occurrences of red and green! We'll show the code used |
|
1380 |
to fetch the lyrics and count the occurrences. |
|
1381 |
</p> |
|
1382 |
<p> |
|
1383 |
The second part of the talk will show some simple hacks with |
|
1384 |
images. First, a simple script that converts images into ASCII |
|
1385 |
art. We hacked up a very rudimentary algo to convert images to |
|
1386 |
ASCII and it works well for "machine generated images." Next, a |
|
1387 |
sample program that uses OpenCV (3) that can detect faces. We wish |
|
1388 |
to show OpenCV since it has some really powerful stuff for image |
|
1389 |
processing. |
