Design of High-Speed Multiway Merge Sorting Networks Using Fast Single-Stage N-Sorters and N-Filters by Robert B. Kent, Marios S. Pattichis

“…A fully pipelined 3-way merge network in this FPGA is capable of fully sorting 500 million lists of 729 unsorted 32-bit values in one second. In software, multiway merge methods are used to find the median of certain pixel rectangles in images, since the median can be determined in fewer stages than are required to fully sort the rectangle. …”

Analysis of crack response on structures due to blasting and non-blasting factors by Vojinović I., Stojadinović S., Svrkota I., Stojanović M., Šabaz D.

“…On the other hand, blasting factors act over a short period of time, resulting in a rapid increase in the stress intensity factor at the crack tip and a faster release of stress energy. The FEM (finite element method) analysis of these impacts was conducted on a model in the ABAQUS CAE software. …”
