Models of physiological systems
Cardiac Output and Its Regulation
Cardiac Output and Its RegulationMeasured(measurable, guessed)
parameters:
Pthorax
PSystemicArteries
...Searched parameters:
RSystemicVeins,Rsystemic,RPulmonary
Elasticity C, Initial volume V0
Parameters of the models
Identification of physiological system Make custom model for
specific patient Some parameters cannot
be measured:can be computed – estimated Identification: measured
parameters and estimated parameters match the model.
Optimization methods: Simplex method, Genetic algorithm (CMA-ES), ...
Model evaluation library: .NET, C++, Java
Computation system
model evaluation from given parameters = 1 iteration~ 1 second
Optimization method for the model Cardiac output and it's regulation (5 parameters)~ 20 000 iterations
~ 20 000 seconds = 5 hours 33 minutes
Optimization method for more complex model (6 parameters)~ 200 000 iterations
– ~200 000 seconds = 2 days 7 hours
Parallel computation system
Parallelize some iterations -> reduce number of serial steps ~ 1000 iterations
Theoretically: 1000 seconds = 16 minutes vs. 5 hours 33 minutes
Practically: 1000 x (1 parallel iteration + parallelization overhead)
Parallel computation system
Computation system - BOINC
Computation service – SOAP web service
BOINC – desktop grid - volunteer computing grid (like seti@home)
DC-API – SZTAKI desktop grid API based upon BOINC
Computation nodes – BOINC clients
Computation system conclusion 1Parallelization overhead time (1-60 seconds per iteration)
BOINC computation model
– Employed computers in laboratory and virtual computers in cloud build on high speed network (1GBit/s)
– Pull model – client asks for new task in reasonable time – preparation for computing (increases overhead time in the begining)
– Easy to establish and mantain
future development Employ GRID offered by NGI based on gLite (or Globus)
– Enhance computation web service– Push model – computation node is scheduled by the master
task
CPU (4cores) + GPU (400+ cores) computing– nVidia TESLA
