Evaluating the Power of GPU Acceleration for IDW Interpolation Algorithm by Gang Mei

“…We first present two GPU implementations of the standard Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) interpolation algorithm, the tiled version that takes advantage of shared memory and the CDP version that is implemented using CUDA Dynamic Parallelism (CDP). Then we evaluate the power of GPU acceleration for IDW interpolation algorithm by comparing the performance of CPU implementation with three GPU implementations, that is, the naive version, the tiled version, and the CDP version. …”

Plasticity of the Primary Motor Cortex in Patients with Primary Brain Tumors by Nathan W. Kong, William R. Gibb, Suvarna Badhe, Benjamin P. Liu, Matthew C. Tate

“…In a retrospective case series of 13 patients, we utilize a novel paradigm that analyzes serial fMRI scans in patients harboring intrinsic brain tumors that vary in location and growth kinetics to better understand the mechanisms underlying these two modes of plasticity in the human primary motor cortex. Twelve patients in our series had some degree of primary motor cortex plasticity, an area previously thought to have limited plasticity. …”
