Change management and relocation: a moving experience (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Finch, E. (2011, November). Change management and relocation: a moving experience. Presented at 2º.Simpósio Brasileiro de Qualidade do Projeto no Ambiente Construído, Rio de Janeiro

Organisational change brings with it a need for facilities changes. Merging, splitting, downsizing, upsizing, adaptations, are all physical manifestations of the need for change. Along with these changes are innumerable human and organizational cha... Read More about Change management and relocation: a moving experience.

Numerical investigations on nonlinear nonparaxial beam propagation using graphics processing units (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Chamorro-Posada, P., Sánchez-Curto, J., & McDonald, G. (2011, November). Numerical investigations on nonlinear nonparaxial beam propagation using graphics processing units. Presented at 8th Iberian Meeting on Computational Electromagnetics, Sesimbra, Lisbon, Potugal

We study the performance of a nonparaxial beam propagation method accelerated using massively parallel computation in graphic processing units. The implementation is tested in two different NVIDIA hardware architectures, Tesla and Fermi, and the resu...
