Computation of the radiative transfer model for a hyperspectral sounder with thousands of spectral channels is very time-consuming. Consequently, operational data assimilation systems can assimilate only a few hundred channels. The radiative transfer model is very suitable for GPU implementation to take advantage of GPU massively parallel computing capability, where radiances at various channels c ...

Not Available We will prototype an original methodology for search and knowledge discovery in electronic databases. The methodology represents a quantum leap with respect to ongoing work on Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), and is based on the Backus Gilbert method for inversion. This provides the framework for the implementation of a practical and scalable algorithm. We recast the measurement o ...

We propose to develop an Automated Resource Optimization (ARO) prototype for efficiently solving many resource allocation problems encountered in the design of large scale complex systems. Our proposed approach is based on a novel optimization framework, the Nested Partitions Method. The main goal of the proposed Phase I effort will be to demonstrate the feasibility of the ARO prototype. The Phase ...
