| Contents | Implementation of a simulatory environment for investigation of the mechanical characteristics and neuromuscular processes involved in stabilization of the human spinal column. The interdisciplinary SPINET project applies the possibilities of parallel computing to the development of simulations to analyse biomechanical phenomena (origins of back pain and aftereffects of operations). At the same time, the available algorithms in use are subjected to critical evaluation and further development. The purpose is to achieve better software development support for parallel computer systems in research lab use, particularly for the development of efficient parallel algorithms in order to satisfy the high requirements in the implementation of complex applications. |
