Software |
VBM: Visualization for Bifurcation Manifolds (with R. Paffenroth and J. Maddocks) A general scientific visualization code for Multi-point Boundary Value problems. It provides interactive connectivity between the bifurcation diagram and physical configurations as well as data compression and reconstruction. High dimensional systems can be projected down to lower dimensions and interactively rotated. Developed using DataViewer, Python, C++ and Fortran with ~10,000 lines of Python ~3,000 lines of C++. DataViewer (with R. Paffenroth, T. Stone, A. Ahearn, and J. Maddocks) A general object oriented data visualization and processing tool. It is designed to facilitate the development of other, more specific, visualization tools. Developed in C++ and OpenGL with ~27,000 lines of C++. GAD An object oriented implementation of several forms of genetic algorithms, provided with a graphical user interface for rapidly setting the parameters and encoding various test functions. Developed in C++ and Python, with ~4500 lines of C++. Computation of Electric Cables (project for T&U SA, Neuchâtel, 1992/1993) Analysis of an industrial FORTRAN program in order to compare it with the ISO standards. Writing a user manual for a new program based on the analysis. |
