Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is one of the branches of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the millions of calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with surfaces defined by boundary conditions. Even with high-speed supercomputers only approximate solutions can be achieved in many cases. Ongoing research, however, may yield software that improves the accuracy and speed of complex simulation scenarios such as transonic or turbulent flows. Initial validation of such software is often performed using a wind tunnel with the final validation coming in flight test. Данное издание не...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In computer programming and computer science, especially in object-oriented programming, programmers and developers employ a technique called, "automated unit testing" to enhance the quality of the software. Frequently, the final release software consists of a complex set of objects or procedures interacting together to create the final result. In Automated unit testing, it may be necessary to use objects or procedures that look and behave like their release-intended counterparts, but are actually simplified versions that reduce the complexity and facilitate testing. A test double is a generic (meta) term used for these objects or procedures.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In computer science, test stubs are programs which simulate the behaviors of software components (or modules) that are the dependent modules of the module being tested. Consider a software program which queries a database to obtain the sum price total of all products stored in the database. However, the query is slow and consumes a large number of system resources. This reduces the number of test runs per day. Secondly, the tests need to be conducted on values larger than what is currently in the database. The method (or call) used to perform this is get_total. For testing purposes, the source code in get_total could be temporarily replaced with a simple statement which returned a specific...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A sanity test or sanity check is a basic test to quickly evaluate the validity of a claim or calculation. In arithmetic, for example, when multiplying by 9, using the divisibility rule for 9 to verify that the sum of digits of the result is divisible by 9 is a sanity test. In computer science, a sanity test is a very brief run-through of the functionality of a computer program, system, calculation, or other analysis, to assure that the system or methodology works as expected, often prior to a more exhaustive round of testing. In software development, the sanity test (a form of software testing which offers "quick, broad, and shallow testing") determines whether it is reasonable to proceed with...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The EICAR test file (official name: EICAR Standard Anti-Virus Test File) is a file, developed by the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research, to test the response of computer antivirus (AV) programs. The rationale behind it is to allow people, companies, and AV programmers to test their software without having to use a real computer virus that could cause actual damage should the AV not respond correctly. EICAR likens the use of a live virus to test AV software to setting a fire in a trashcan to test a fire alarm, and promotes the EICAR test file as a safe alternative. AV programmers set the EICAR string as a verified virus like any other signatures. A compliant virus scanner, when...

With new processor families appearing every few years, it is increasingly harder to achieve high performance rates in sparse matrix computations. This monograph studies new methods for sparse matrix factorizations and applies them efficiently while retaining ease of use of existing solutions. The implementations are timed and analyzed using a commonly accepted set of test matrices. Contemporary processors are used for the tests. The new factorization techniques are proven to be quite competitive with state of the art software. In addition, an optimization effort is applied to an iterative algorithm that stands out for its numerical robustness. This also gives satisfactory results on the tested computing platforms in terms of performance...

Historically, software simulation has been the vehicle of choice for studying computer architecture because of its flexibility and low cost. Regrettably, designers of software simulators must choose between providing high performance or detailed hardware emulation. Building hardware, in contrast, provides high performance and accurate results, but lacks the flexibility to explore multiple designs and is very expensive. These tradeoffs have impeded our ability to thoroughly explore and evaluate new computer architectures. The Flexible Architecture for Simulation and Testing (FAST) provides a foundation for future many core and TLP-focused computer architecture research by combining the flexibility of software with the accuracy and speed...
