The development of satellite derived nitrate and stratification indices for the southern Benguela ecosystem by Khumalo, Madoda Brian

“…There were however two concerns that needed further consideration in the approach: 1).The large warm bias discovered between the in situ and remotely sensed temperatures which had a direct influence on the validity of the algorithms in the ecosystem and 2.) The temporal and spatial disconnects between the physical forcing and biological response of the ecosystem and subsequent impact upon the utility of the remotely sensed proxies.…”

A domain specific language for facilitating automatic parallelization and placement of SDR patterns into heterogeneous computing architectures by Mohapi, Lerato Jerfree

“…Advanced task and data parallel patterns were applied in the OptiSDR dataflow MoCs, which are especially suitable for SDR computations where FPGA-based realtime data acquisition systems feed data into multi-GPUs for implementation of parallel DSP algorithms. Furthermore, the research methodology involved an evaluation process that was used to determine the OptiSDR language's expressive power, efficiency, performance, accuracy, and ease of use in SDR applications, such as radar pulse compression and radio frequency sweeping algorithms. …”
