NAU scientist tracks the spread of a dangerous virus throughout Arizona
West Nile Virus—a potentially deadly infection spread by mosquito bites—is now a permanent resident of Arizona, according to a study by Northern Arizona University and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), an affiliate of City of Hope.
Crystal Hepp, an assistant professor at NAU’s School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems, is the lead author on the study, which analyzed the genetic material of West Nile Virus (WNV) directly from mosquitos collected in Arizona to build out a genomic family… Read more
Computer science undergraduate students Zane Fink and Jordan Wright publish paper on hybrid parallel CPU/GPU multiway merge algorithm
Computer systems have many components. Designing a highly efficient algorithm requires carefully examining the intersection of the algorithm design space and modern computer architecture. The design of algorithms for simultaneous execution on multi-core CPUs and graphics processing units (GPUs) is becoming increasingly important, particularly as the world’s fastest supercomputers rely on GPUs to obtain high computational throughput. The GPU contains thousands of cores that can rapidly carry out computation and have very high on-card memory bandwidth. Working with Prof.… Read more
