Dr. K. Joost Batenburg takes us on a tour through the ASTRA-lab to explain why we need such enormeous computation power. Of course FASTRA self is introduced.
Dr. J. Sijbers laat ons het ASTRA-lab zien en vertelt wat tomografische reconstructies zijn. Natuurlijk laat hij ook FASTRA zien en vertelt hij waarom deze zo belangrijk is

FASTRA movie, third part: Dr K. Joost Batenburg shows that by taking a priori information (like material density) into account, we can reconstruct Bob very accurately, even in cases that would have resulted in very bad reconstructions with traditional methods (few projections, samll angular range, noisy data, ...).
FASTRA movie, fourth part: Unfortunately, our reconstruction techniques require a lot of computation power. Here Dr. K. Joost Batenburg explains why we opted to build FASTRA, our GPU supercomputer.
This movie shows a reconstructed femur bone. Thanks to the amazing computation power of FASTRA, this object was reconstructed in never before seen reconstruction time.
Using data from an electron microscope, FASTRA reconstructed the inner structure of an nano tube. The findings from this study showed many never seen before properties of this structure.
Income Planning and Safe Withdrawal Rates - Seekingalpha.com It has become more and more evident to me that most investors have almost no real sense of what they need to save for retirement—an issue that is closely linked to the problem of determining how much income an investor can safely draw from his/her ...
Widely Held Attitudes to Different Generations - Forbes A recent survey by Harris Interactive conducted for Charles Schwab and Age Wave asked almost 4,000 Americans aged 21 to 83 what they thought of different generations. Specifically, they were asked about people aged 13 to 31 or Generation Y; those ...
