“…Parallel computing has been applied by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration since the 1970s [86]. However, the short history of parallel computing applications in railway research is also not surprising considering the following facts: (1) the engineering basis using clusters for parallel computing was arguably invented by Gene Amdahl in 1967 [6,14]; (2) PCs were only made available in the late 1970s; and (3) the MPI and OpenMP standards were only released in 1994 and 1997 respectively [34,46]. Figure 12 also shows that there is a fluctuating increasing number of publications over the years.…”

“…This has now become achievable using most parallel computing enabling techniques. For example, OpenMP has specially formatted syntax [46] which allows serial compilers to function as usual when compiling a parallelised code. However, special attention has to be paid during the programming if adoptability is needed.…”

Available computing power for researchers has been increasing exponentially over the last decade. Parallel computing is possibly the best way to harness computing power provided by multiple computing units. This paper reviews parallel computing applications in railway research as well as the enabling techniques used for the purpose. Nine enabling techniques were reviewed and Message Passing Interface, Domain Decomposition and Hadoop & Apache are the top three most widely used enabling techniques. Seven major application topics were reviewed and iterative optimisations, continuous dynamics and data & signal analysis are the most widely reported applications. The reasons why these applications are suitable for parallel computing were discussed as well as the suitability of various enabling techniques for different applications. Computing time speed-ups that were reported from these applications were summarised. The challenges for applying parallel computing for railway research are discussed. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…He called the “Internet his Religion” because of its power to bring real change in the world. Such an enthusiasm for an electronic sublime has been a long-standing part of American and, separately, Canadian culture (Barney, 2007; Carey and Quick, 1970). Internet start-ups rekindled this dream as a digital sublime (Mosco, 2004).…”

Porting the political campaign: The NationBuilder platform and the global flows of political technology

Political parties rely on digital technologies to manage volunteering, fundraising, fieldwork, and data collection. They also need tools to manage web, email, and social media outreach. Increasingly, new political engagement platforms integrate these tasks into one unified system. These platforms pose important questions about the flows of political practices from campaigns to platforms and vice versa as well as across campaigns globally. NationBuilder is a critical case in their study. It is a leading non-partisan platform used in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The case of NationBuilder in Canada analyzes how political engagement platforms coordinate the global flows of politics. Through interviews, we find reciprocal influence among developers, party activists, consultants, and the NationBuilder platform. We call this process porting. It results in NationBuilder becoming a more portable global platform in tandem with becoming an imported, hybridized part of a campaign’s digital infrastructure.

“…Is Canada's regulatory regime the product of considered democratic judgment, or—as Darin Barney asserts—is it a reflection of “private interests” who have been able to translate their interests into law and policy? (Barney, 2007: 24). Bannerman considers the possibility that Canada's communications law and policy has been generated to serve the public interest; however, she is primarily focused on the ways in which it reinforces existing privileges and social hierarchies.…”
