EXascale Algorithms and Advanced Computational Techniques (EXA2CT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Numerical simulation is a crucial part of science and industry in Europe. The advancement of simulation as a discipline relies on increasingly compute intensive models that require more computational resources to run. This is the driver for the evolution to exascale. Due to limits in the increase in single processor performance, exascale machines will rely on massive parallelism on and off chip, w ...

Fighting blindness of Usher syndrome: diagnosis, pathogenesis and retinal treatment (TreatRetUsher) (TREATRUSH)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

Usher syndrome (USH) is the most frequent hereditary cause of deafness associated to blindness. It is a rare disease, affecting 1 in every 10.000 individuals, with an autosomal recessive monogenic inheritance. Deafness is congenital while the retinitis pigmentosa is not detected before the age of 8 to 10. These patients suffer from a dreadful disability as their two major senses are impaired. Impo ...

Requirement for hair cell electrical activity in the auditory sensory map formation: Assessment by genetically controlled inhibition of synaptic activity in mice (SynActAud)

Start date: Jan 19, 2010, End date: Jan 18, 2012,

Humans are able to discriminate sounds with frequencies that are separated by no more than 0.1%. This level of performance arises from the exceptional sensory capacities of our cochlea, which detects stimuli through an array of sensory hair cells, spatially organized to follow a gradient of preferred frequency (a tonotopic map). This map is conserved downstream of the cochlea, implying that cochle ...
