SUPRENUM – German Supercomputer

High-Performance-Computing SUPer-REchner für NUMerische Anwendungen   SUPRENUM – Supercomputer for Numerical Applications was a German research project to develop a parallel computer between 1985 and 1990. Although the Suprenum–1 was the most powerful massively parallel computer system in the world for a short time, the development of a second generation of the system was not financed. Brief…

Development of Microsensors

  Analytische und FEM Modellierung Frequenz-analoger Mikrosensoren   Der Artikel gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über die erfolgreiche Entwicklung und erste Prototypisierung von mikromechanischen Silizium-Sensoren mit resonantem Funktionsprinzip. Er behandelt die analytische und Finite-Elemente-Modellierung von resonanten Silizium-Mikrosensoren zur Messung mechanischer Größen, wie Kraft, Druck und Beschleunigung. Weiterhin kann das frequenz-analoge Messprinzip auf andere physikalische Messgrößen ausgedehnt…
