Joelle Thomas & Galadriel Chilton: Two academic librarians committed to the dissemination of and access to information. The Conference: An information professionals organization that purports to promote the sharing of ideas among all members of the community.
In previous work, we have reported on a series of projects utilizing GPGPUs (General Purpose Graphics Processing Units) to improve instrument performance, notably preliminary work in scanning electron microscope (SEM) autofocusing [1], autofocusing and astigmatism correction using Fourier domain algorithms [2], specific SEM-related image processing techniques [3], and automated gun alignment for tungsten filament emission sources [4]. GPGPU computation is now an established means of exploiting the tens to thousands of processor cores available on modern graphics cards, with the proprietary Compute Unified Device Architecture introduced by NVIDIA in 2006 enabling developers to utilize GPUs by means of extensions to C and similar programming languages (see [5]), and OpenCL (Open Compute Language) providing an alternative open-source framework for executing parallel programs across heterogeneous hardware.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
