This research paper aims at exploiting efficient ways of implementing the N-Body problem. The N-Body problem, in the field of physics, predicts the movements and planets and their gravitational interactions. In this paper, the efficient execution of heavy computational work through usage of different cores in CPU and GPU is looked into; achieved by integrating the OpenMP parallelization API and the Nvidia CUDA into the code. The paper also aims at performance analysis of various algorithms used to solve the same problem. This research not only aids as an alternative to complex simulations but also for bigger data that requires work distribution and computationally expensive procedures.

Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar e detalhar a construção de um conversor buck-boost. Cuja a função deste é converter uma tensão cc (corrente contínua) de entrada, em outra tensão cc em sua saída, de valor mais elevado ou inferior dependendo de sua configuração. Destaca-se aqui o uso de um semi condutor MOSFET que funciona como uma chave controladora. Na elabiração deste está destacada o funcionamento, principais características e toda a parte de simulação e comprovação prática deste conversor.

The objective is to study the effect of different experimental parameters on the reconstruction of the density of states (DoS) and to verify the viability of the 1D/2D simulation model developed at GeePs. Beside the calculation of the DoS through the modulated photo-current method (MPC), the ambipolar minority carrier diffusion length is measured through steady state photocarrier grating (SSPG) and the majority carrier lifetime / mobility product is measured through steady state photo-conductivity (SSPC). The measurements were observed to be in agreement with the theoretical simulations, but further experiments are needed to accurately conclude the need of a 2D simulation for the MPC experiment.

The CPU scheduling is the basis of multi-programming operating systems. By switching the CPU among processes, the operating system can make the computer more productive. The scheduler controls the way processes are managed in the operating system. Linux supports preemptive multitasking, this means that the process scheduler decides which process runs and when. Balance performance across different computer configurations is one challenge in modern operating systems.Linux has two separate process-scheduling algorithms. If a Linux system performs similar tasks in a regular manner, it could be useful to implement optimizations to the Linux scheduler to optimize the performance of those tasks. In this project, we analyze and evaluate the impact of changing the kernel values on the performance of the calculation of 8,765,4321 digits of pi using the Leibniz formula measuring the time that the system takes to perform the calculation.

Computer algorithms that are written with the intent to keep data private are used in every day cryptography. These algorithms may exhibit execution time behaviour which is dependant on secret information that is not known to an outsider. When carefully analysed, this dependency may leak information that can be used to gain unintended access to private data, effectively nullifying the use of such algorithms. This threat poses a vital risk to the field of computer cryptography, and analysis should be done in attempt to eradicate this potential threat from any algorithms in modern day use. In this paper, attacks are orchestrated against several algorithms that have previously been used in cryptography, resulting in the successful retrieval of secret data within a manageable time-scale.
