Searching using Parallel Processing

Pierce introduced an array-of-arrays microplate product called Search-Light in which antibodies are directly printed into the wells of the microplate. Also, we have reviewed MSD s Multi-Spot plate products having antibodies immobilized onto multiple working electrodes. These products (albeit with some novel approaches to create microarrays and means for detection) utilize the classic immunosorbent sandwich assay but have the advantage of parallel processing using microarrays. 

Fourth, we have noted that the computational demands of three-dimensional substructure searching are much greater than those for conventional two-dimensional substructure searching. It is possible that recent developments in parallel computer hardware ° may provide a simple way of increasing the efficiency of three-dimensional substructure searching, and there have already been several reports of the use of parallel processing techniques for two-... 

In some subjects the parallel processing becomes visible in the tasks vSS, v99 and vlOlO. In these subjects the median reaction times of more complex tasks do not increase any more. By using the model of the searching set, one can say that the first searching set is full and an other searching set has to be opened which is scanned in parallel by a searching mechanism. 

Parallel processing involves the simultaneous use of some or many processors so as to reduce the elapsed time that is required for the execution of some computational task . Parallel computers have traditionally been used for scientific applications that require extensive numeric processing but there is now increasing interest in the use of such machines for non-numeric apphcations. One such application is that of database searching, where the matching of the query record against the records in a database can be distributed across the available processors. 

In the second type of correlation (B) a search is made for relationships between two processes, one of them being under study and the other one being well known from the viewpoint of mechanism. The advantage of this approach lies in the clear kinship of the two processes when they show parallel structure effects on rate or equilibrium manifested by a good correlation. However, one must use the same derivatives in both series of compounds, and this may cause experimental problems. 

There should be an oral presentation towards the end of the semester to the management (which is your classmates, the professor, and the invitees) on your business plan for a proposed new product on the innovative product idea, on market and technology analysis, on the financial and environmental analysis, and on your recommended action. Be prepared to answer searching questions from your management, and to hear constructive comments intended to improve your research, your analysis, your recommendation, and your presentation skills. If time permits, it would be useful to take all the comments and constructive suggestions into consideration, and make a second oral presentation. The product design project concludes with the submission of a written report, which would be in parallel with the traditional process design project.
