How to find Unique Idea for B.E IT Engineering Project

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:50:16 +0100

Best Project Topics for B.E. IT Engineering Students
Due to drastic change in Engineering Syllabus and Project work, it has now become very difficult for B.E. IT Engineering Students to find unique project topic for their final year project work.
There are around 33 esteemed engineering colleges in Mumbai as per Wikipedia and more than 15k seats for engineering students out of which every year Mumbai is graduating more than 10k Bachelors in Engineering. So it has now become very difficult for Engineering Students to choose their project topics.

Following Steps will help you understand project work and will also get you some good idea on how to choose your final year B.E. IT engineering projects

What Language Shall I Use: Before starting a project work you need to understand the meaning of your stream and your own knowledge about a programming language. If you think you are good at Java Programming then go for it, take some initial steps and first learn that language thoroughly and get set to start coding.
Shall We Buy Projects: I know many engineering student gets confused in this and keep on thinking about project topics and many of us even go to join some project classes to either work with these guys on a project or we plan to buy it. But make sure this is not good at all, it's always good to buy project and release your stress but try to implement it in your own way with your skills and creativity which could help you find in-debt of a project work
What Topic Would be Suitable: Choosing Topic is always a hectic Job in final year B.E. Projects, but it's actually very easy if you look around the things in your environment. These days we have many issues in our country and being a responsible citizen what do we do? We do nothing, right! So it's time for you to think about it and build something creative, and find solution for issues happening around you. As soon as you get involved in it, your mind starts speaking and will definitively let you know what topic you should chose that will not only help you to get your project work done but it will also make your a responsible citizen. And such kind of Projects does make changes, revolution and remains noticeable for everyone.
What will be the Applications of Project: You need to focus on application and please do not think about any disadvantages while you focus on application because it may lead you to end up your project work before you start. Please note that every technology comes with some advantages and disadvantages even Google and Facebook has disadvantages but people like them right! so don't think about it and be positive

So these were some points that you can consider while working on your BE IT Engineering Project. If you find some more good ideas or suggestions about this blog then please let us know by commenting.

jQuery Preview like Google

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:22:45 +0100

Get jQuery Repeater to Expand Query just like Google.com

Download sample: JQueryElementDemo-en.zip, the directory is /repeater/Default.aspx.

This article will explain in detail how to use the child views in the Repeater control, the directory is as follows:

Prepare

Please view the prepare section at 30 Minutes Grasp ASP.NET jQuery Repeater.

Define Child View Sample

The Repeater displayed within Repeater is known as child view, child view is a copy of the child view sample, and according to the condition to display different data. Definition of child view sample has no special, such as:

Collapse | Copy Code

<je:Repeater ID="<child view ID>" runat="server"
 FilterField="<child view search field>">

</je:Repeater>

<je:Repeater ID="pictureRepeater" runat="server"
 FilterField="['url']"
 FillAsync-Url="webservice.asmx"
 FillAsync-MethodName="GetGooglePicture">
 <ItemTemplate>
  <div>
   <span class="url">#{url}</span>
   <br />
   <br />
   #{picture}
  </div>
 </ItemTemplate>
</je:Repeater>

In most cases, need to define property FilterField for a child view sample, that is, the condition used to search the data of child view, in the code above, we add a url as a condition, then the method in server-side can be written:

Collapse | Copy Code

[WebMethod]
public SortedDictionary<string, object> GetGooglePicture ( string url )
{
 // Return JSON
}

Because we return only one row here, so you don't have to add the pageindex and pagesize parameters.

About how to return JSON, please refer to Return JSON in Different .NET Version, all code for this example is written using the .NET 4.0.

Switch Child View

If you need to switch, turn off, turn on child views in the Repeater control, you can use shiftview,collapseview, expandview three methods, such as:

Collapse | Copy Code

// je-<javascript event name>="shiftview,'<child view ID>'[,<search field value n>]"

<div id="list">
 <je:Repeater ID="googleRepeater" runat="server"
  Selector="'#list'" PageSize="2" IsVariable="true"
  FillAsync-Url="webservice.asmx"
  FillAsync-MethodName="SearchGoogle">
  <ItemTemplate>

   <div class="picture">
    <div
     je-button="label='More';"
     je-onclick="shiftview,'pictureRepeater','#{url}'">
    </div>
    <div je-id="pictureRepeater" style="display: none;">
    </div>
   </div>
  
  </ItemTemplate>

 </je:Repeater>
</div>

Take shiftview for example, the first parameter is the ID of a child view, the following parameters are the conditions used to search the data for child views, in the sample, field URL is a condition, corresponding to the URL in the property FilterField of the child view sample. If there are more conditions, you can continue to add, but the order of conditions must same with FilterField property of child view sample.

The expandview method and shiftview are similar, expandview will open child view, and shiftview will switch the open status of child view.

The collapseview method will close the child views, does not need to pass condition.

By default, when a child view is opened for the first time, it will automatically call the fill method to get data, then open operation will no longer refresh the data.

Define a Container

In addition to defining the child views, you also need to define a container of child view in the row template:

Collapse | Copy Code

// je-id="<child view ID>"
<ItemTemplate>
 <div class="picture">
  <div je-id="pictureRepeater" style="display: none;">
  </div>
 </div>
</ItemTemplate>

Set je-id to the ID of a child view, the element can be bound as the container of the child view, the child view will appear in the target container.

We make the container hidden in the beginning by style="display: none;", because the child view is off by default.

NVIDIA, Cray, PGI, CAPS Unveil ‘OpenACC’ Programming Standard for Parallel Computing.

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 09:21:46 +0100

NVIDIA, Cray, PGI, CAPS Unveil ‘OpenACC’ Programming

Standard for Parallel Computing

Directives-based Programming Makes Accelerating Applications Using

CPUs and GPUs Dramatically Easier than Modifying Underlying Code

SEATTLE, Washington.,—SC11 — Nov. 15, 2011— In an effort to make it easier for programmers to take advantage of parallel computing, NVIDIA, Cray Inc., the Portland Group (PGI), and CAPS enterprise announced today a new parallel-programming standard, known as OpenACC™.

Initially developed by PGI, Cray, and NVIDIA, with support from CAPS, OpenACC is a new open parallel programming standard designed to enable the millions of scientific and technical programmers to easily take advantage of the transformative power of heterogeneous CPU/GPU computing systems.

OpenACC allows parallel programmers to provide simple hints, known as “directives,” to the compiler, identifying which areas of code to accelerate, without requiring programmers to modify or adapt the underlying code itself. By exposing parallelism to the compiler, directives allow the compiler to do the detailed work of mapping the computation onto the accelerator.

OpenACC is anticipated to benefit a broad range of programmers working in chemistry, biology, physics, data analytics, weather and climate, intelligence, and many fields others. Existing compilers from Cray, PGI and CAPS are expected to provide initial support for the OpenACC standard beginning in the first quarter of 2012. The OpenACC standard is fully compatible and interoperable with the NVIDIA® CUDA® parallel programming architecture, which is designed to allow detailed control over the accelerator for maximum performance tuning.

Directives provide a common code base that is multi-platform and multi-vendor compatible, offering an ideal way to preserve investment in legacy applications by enabling an easy migration path to accelerated computing. Based on recent data, the majority of developers have reported2x to 10x increases in application performance in as little as two weeks when using existing directive-based compilers.¹

Quotes

“Compiler directives are integral as we continue the build-out and deployment of the Titan GPU-accelerated supercomputer,” said Buddy Bland, Titan project director at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, referring to a system expected to be the world’s fastest supercomputer. “Our ultimate goal is to have all Titan supercomputing code run on hybrid CPU/GPU nodes, and OpenACC will enable programmers to develop portable applications that maximize the performance and power efficiency benefits of this architecture.”

“OpenACC represents a major development for the scientific community,” said Jeffrey Vetter, joint professor in the Computational Science and Engineering School of the College of Computing at Georgia institute of Technology. “Programming models for open science by definition need to be flexible, open and portable across multiple platforms; OpenACC is well designed to fill this need. It provides a valuable new tool to empower the vast numbers of domain scientists who could benefit from application acceleration, but who may not have the funding or expertise to port their code to emerging architectures.”

“I am enthusiastic about the future of accelerator technologies,” said Michael Wong, CEO of the OpenMP Architecture Review Board. “The OpenACC announcement highlights the technically impressive initiative undertaken by members of the OpenMP Working Group on Accelerators. I look forward to working with all four companies within the OpenMP organization to merge OpenACC with other ideas to create a common specification which extends OpenMP to support accelerators. We look forward to incorporating accelerator support with the full support of all OpenMP members in a future version of the OpenMP specification.”

More information about OpenACC, as well as the OpenACC specification, is available today at www.OpenACC-standard.org.OpenACC is based largely on the PGI and Cray accelerator programming models. NVIDIA, Cray, PGI, and CAPS are members of the OpenMP subcommittee on accelerators, and intend to work within that organization to come to a common standard.

Developers interested in trying directives-based programming can obtain a one-month free trial of the PGI Accelerator Fortran and C compilers at NVIDIA’s new 2x in 4 weeks web site, or by contacting Cray.

World’s First ARM-based CPU/GPU Hybrid Supercomputer

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 09:21:25 +0100

Barcelona Super computing Center to Deploy World’s First

ARM-based CPU/GPU Hybrid Supercomputer

Prototype System with Energy Efficient Tegra ARM CPUs and CUDA GPUs

Advances Europe toward Exascale Supercomputing

SEATTLE, Washington. — SC11 — Oct. 15, 2011— NVIDIA today announced that the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) is developing a new hybrid supercomputer that, fr the first time, uses energy-efficient, low-power NVIDIA® Tegra™ ARM CPUs, together with high-performance NVIDIA® CUDA® GPUs.

BSC is planning to develop the first large scale system based on this technology, with a near term goal of demonstrating two to five times improvement in energy efficiency compared with today’s most efficient systems. BSC is showing the system design publicly for the first time at this week’s SC11 Conference, which runs Nov. 14-17 in Seattle, Wash., in exhibit booth #235.

BSC’s ultimate research goal is to deliver exascale-level performance while using 15 to 30 times less power than current supercomputer architectures. This so-called EU Mont-Blanc Project will explore next-generation HPC architectures and develop a portfolio of exascale applications that run efficiently on these kinds of energy-efficient, embedded mobile technologies.

“In most current systems, CPUs alone consume the lion’s share of the energy, often 40 percent or more,” said Alex Ramirez, leader of the Mont-Blanc Project. “By comparison, the Mont-Blanc architecture will rely on energy-efficient compute accelerators and ARM processors used in embedded and mobile devices to achieve a four- to 10-times increase in energy-efficiency by 2014.”

To support growing demand for similar ARM-based initiatives around the world, NVIDIA also announced plans to develop a new hardware and software development kit. The kit, with hardware developed by SECO, will feature a quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 ARM CPU accelerated by a discrete NVIDIA GPU. It is expected to be available in the first half of 2012, and will be supported by the NVIDIA CUDA parallel programming toolkit.

In recognition of its ground-breaking work leveraging NVIDIA GPUs and CUDA technology to drive education and research programs across a range of scientific disciplines, BSC was named a CUDA Center of Excellence by NVIDIA. The CUDA Center of Excellence program rewards and fosters collaboration with leading institutions that are at the forefront of parallel computing research.

BSC joins an elite network of 14 institutions around the world that are advancing awareness of parallel computing and empowering academics and scientists to conduct world-changing research.

for Millions of Design and Creative ProfessionalsMUMBAI – India, Nov. 15, 2011 — After 25 years of design and creative professionals anticipating a workstation that simultaneously performs complex analysis and visualization, NVIDIA announced today its arrival, with the introduction of NVIDIA® Maximus™ technology.

The new offering unleashes productivity and creativity, dramatically accelerating work by enabling a single system for the first time to simultaneously handle interactive graphics and the compute-intensive number crunching associated with the simulation or rendering of the results. These previously needed to be done in separate steps or on separate systems.

NVIDIA Maximus achieves this by bringing together the professional 3D graphics capability of NVIDIA Quadro® professional graphics processing units (GPUs) with the massive parallel-computing power of the NVIDIA Tesla™ C2075 companion processor—under a unified technology that transparently assigns work to the right processor and is certified by industry leading application vendors.

“To those of us who have spent their careers focused on workstations, NVIDIA Maximus represents a revolution,” said Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions Group, NVIDIA. “Previous workstation architectures forced designers and engineers to do compute-intensive work and graphics-intensive work serially and often offline. They can now do them at the same time, on the same machine, allowing professionals to explore more ideas faster and converge quickly on the best possible answers.”

With NVIDIA Maximus-enabled applications – such as those from Adobe, ANSYS, Autodesk, Bunkspeed, Dassault Systèmes and MathWorks – GPU compute work is assigned to run on the NVIDIA Tesla companion processor. This frees up the NVIDIA Quadro GPU to handle graphics functions, ensuring the quality and performance demanded by professional users.

“The real advantage of the Maximus technology is flexibility and increased productivity,” said Tim Ong, vice president of Mechanical Engineering for Sunnyvale, CA-based Liquid Robotics. “Allowing each engineer to do multiple things at once is transformative for our workflow. It’s a tremendous tool to allow my engineers to be flexible, to multitask, and to be more productive because they’re not waiting on computational power.”
