Component analysis is one of the most important methods used for electroencephalographic (EEG) signal decomposition, and the so-called independent component analysis (ICA) is commonly used. The main function of the ICA algorithm is to find a linear representation of non-Gaussian data whose elements are statistically independent or at least as independent as possible. There are many commercial solutions for EEG signal acquisition. Usually, together with the EEG, one gets a dedicated software to handle the signal. However, quite often, the software does not provide researchers with all necessary functions. A high-performance, dense-array EGI-EEG system is distributed with the NetStation software. Although NetStation is a powerful tool, it does not have any implementation of the ICA algorithm. This causes many problems for researchers who want to export raw data from the amplifier and then work on it using some other tools such as EEGLAB for MATLAB, as these data are not fully compatible with the EGI format. We will present the C++ implementation of ICA that can handle filtered data from the EGI with better affordability. Our tool offers visualization of raw signal and ICA algorithm results and will be distributed under Freeware license.
The emergence of many-core and massively-parallel computational accelerators (e.g., GPGPUs) has led to user demand for such resources in grid infrastructures. A widely adopted approach for discovering and accessing such resources has, however, yet to emerge. GPGPUs are an example of a larger class of computational resources, characterized in part by dependence on an allocated CPU. This paper terms such resources “CPU-Dependent Execution Resources” (CDERs). Five conceptual strategies for discovering and accessing CDERs are described and evaluated against key criteria, and all five strategies are compliant with GLUE 1.3, GLUE 2.0, or both. From this evaluation, two of the presented strategies clearly emerge as providing the greatest flexibility for publishing both static and dynamic CDER information and identifying CDERs that satisfy specific job requirements. Furthermore, a two-phase approach to job-submission is proposed for those jobs requiring access to CDERs. The approach is compatible with existing grid services. Examples are provided to illustrate job submission under each strategy.
