Working with sets of local models requires fast processing of data in form of matrices. These data objects consist of input matrices with different dimensions and their mutual multiplication, division or other basic mathematical operations. The most suitable accelerating technique for these operations is parallelized computation. The technique can be applied in the form of using a large number of simple mathematical coprocessors which are found in modern graphics cards, so called general-purpose computation on graphics processing units, or connecting multiple computers to a distributed computing network called high performance computing cluster. The techniques are later discussed in the article. The article also contains practical comparison of both techniques and evaluation of the possibilities of their application.","PeriodicalId":6534,"journal":{"name":"2018 Cybernetics & Informatics (K&I)","volume":"41 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78806500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The solution is built on an open source platform, which underlines the low cost of the system. The use of the A-Frame framework in combination with the AR.js project allows for a combination of learning information and real-world images on commonly available mobile devices in augmented reality to be offered.

The second optimization is implementational: the acceleration of the power method by means of utilising modern vector processing features of the x86-64 architecture is evaluated. Various implementations using different parameters are evaluated by using the Intel MKL library, and a comparative analysis is presented for general and also specific matrices that are important in the EM field measurement and processing.","PeriodicalId":6534,"journal":{"name":"2018 Cybernetics & Informatics (K&I)","volume":"66 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76373974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The area of controller design requires connection with practice. Students should be able to design and verify the controller design not only by simulation but also on a real plant. Experiments on a real controlled plant bring greater interest in the issue and improve understanding and consolidating knowledge. In this paper we present a laboratory model of balancing arm which we designed and built for educational and research purposes. Our model enables to test and verify advanced identification and control methods.
