[UCI-Calit2] Real-Time Scientific Computing and Math with NI LabVIEW

[Anna Lynn Spitzer]

Real-Time Scientific Computing and Math with NI LabVIEW

10 a.m.

Friday, April 11, 2008

Calit2 Building, Room 3008

>From custom designs to cutting-edge prototypes developed in research
labs, graphical system design empowers rapid design, prototype, and
deployment of PC-based and embedded systems using graphical programming
combined with programmable, modular hardware. This approach allows
development and testing of algorithms (algorithm engineering),
connection of other algorithm design tools with NI LabVIEW, or
programming of off-the-shelf hardware for rapid system prototyping and
deployment to either off-the-shelf or custom hardware.

Igor Alvarado, academic business development manager, National
Instruments, invites you to gain experience using NI LabVIEW for
real-time scientific computing and research applications.  The
presentation will cover:
*	Introduction to the LabVIEW development environment and
graphical programming language
*	Hybrid approach with text-based Formula Node, Mathscript Node,
Formula Parsing and Solvers VIs
*	2D/3D Data visualization and OpenGL
*	Mathematics and signal processing with graphical programming
(includes BLAS-based linear algebra)
*	Accessing external libraries for scientific computation
*	Importing and exporting data
*	Interacting with other scientific computing applications/tools
*	Deploying with real-time, embedded hardware options, including
multi-core and parallel computing options

Attendees will:
*	Learn about NI's hardware and software platform and see
demonstrations for modeling, simulation, measurement, and automation
*	Review successful applications such as: nanotechnology,
mechatronics, robotics, life sciences, communications, and structural
dynamics
*	Explore ways to add functionality, increase flexibility and
deploy cost-effective approaches

Who should attend:
Faculty, graduate students, and other researchers conducting research
projects.


Beyond this seminar,  National Instruments is also interested in meeting
with  faculty and/or graduate students involved in applied
(experimental) research work in the area of (but are not limited to) the
following: 
- Control/Mechatronics/Robotics 
- RF/Communications 
- Bioengineering and Life Sciences 
- Structural Dynamics 
- Nanotechnology
- Power/Energy 
- Physics/Big Physics/Astrophysics
