  • Accelerating genomic sequence alignment using high performance reconfigurable computers 

    McMahon, Peter Leonard (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2008)
    Reconfigurable computing technology has progressed to a stage where it is now possible to achieve orders of magnitude performance and power efficiency gains over conventional computer architectures for a subset of high ...

  • Acceleration of the noise suppression component of the DUCHAMP source-finder 

    Badenhorst, Scott James (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2015)
    The next-generation of radio interferometer arrays - the proposed Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and its precursor instruments, The Karoo Array Telescope (MeerKAT) and Australian Square Kilometre Path finder (ASKAP) - will ...

  • Designing an effective user interface for the Android tablet environment 

    Chang, Genevieve (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2015)
    With over 1.3 million applications on the Android marketplace, there is increasing competition between mobile applications for customer sales. As usability is a significant factor in an application's success, many mobile ...

  • Graphics processing unit accelerated coarse-grained protein-protein docking 

    Tunbridge, Ian William (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2011)
    In this work, we describe a Graphics processing unit (GPU) implementation of the Kim-Hummer coarse-grained model for protein docking simulations, using a Replica Exchange Monte-Carlo (REMC) method. Our highly parallel ...

  • Molecular modelling of the Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 6 capsular polysaccharide antigens 

    Mathai, Neann Sarah (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2013)
    In this thesis, a systematic study of the structural characterization of the capsular polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae is conducted using Molecular Modelling methods. S.pneumoniae causes invasive pneumococcal ...

  • A parallel multidimensional weighted histogram analysis method 

    Potgieter, Andrew (University of Cape TownFaculty of ScienceDepartment of Computer Science, 2014)
    The Weighted Histogram Analysis Method (WHAM) is a technique used to calculate free energy from molecular simulation data. WHAM recombines biased distributions of samples from multiple Umbrella Sampling simulations to yield ...
