Evaluation of Rutting Susceptibility of Bituminous Mixes Using Finite Element Modeling
Abstract: Pavement performance mainly depends on the quality of bituminous mixes. Poor bituminous mixes cause premature failures such as rutting or permanent deformation, cracking, bleeding etc. The design of bituminous mixes should contain certain criteria to prevent premature failures. The mixes designed based on these criteria are generally known as performance based mix design and are gaining popularity in the recent times. Among various types of pavement failures, permanent deformation or …

A Study on OpenMP and Irregular Programming
Abstract: Programmers need better, more reliable techniques to build parallel programs. In the task-parallel programming paradigm, the programmer defines independent pieces of work, called tasks that may run in parallel. Geometric algorithms are wonderful examples for programming, because they are deceptively easy to do with your eyes, yet much harder to implement for a machine. The goal of parallel algorithm design is to develop parallel computational methods that run very fast …
