Fedora 16 and CUDA

Until Fedora 15 I somehow managed to get the NVIDIA driver and the CUDA compiler running, but Fedora 16 seems to quite of a hurdle. I tried something similar as for F15, including a patch which solves the Kernel version

Merging my homepage and this blog

For long time I was keeping my homepage up-do-date and I have been posting on this blog. More than half a year ago I ported my homepage to Drupal and thought that things become more easy, but it turned out

Formal errors of bilinear interpolation

The bilinear interpolation is a quite useful mathematical approach when it comes to interpolation in a two- or higher-dimensional regular grid. Other than a nearest neighbour approach or simple block averaging, this method provides a somewhat “continuous” field. Thereby, one

The impact of constraints on linear least-squares problems

OK, this post is going to be a little bit longer than the usual article which I am writing here. First, I was thinking to summarize my thoughts in a short note, but why not post it here directly? So

Applying the KLT to my blog stats

A few months ago I wrote about the Karhunen-Loève Transform (KLT) which could be an interesting alternative for continuous wavelet transforms. I almost forgot about that topic, but today I stumbled over it again. Thus I applied it to my

About NVIDIA CUDA and Fedora life cycles

Most of my real-time stuff (mainly signal processing) runs on the GPU and I really like CUDA because it is as simple as C or C++ but allows you to tune your graphic card to get the maximum performance you

Karhunen-Loève Transform – an interesting alternative to FFT and wavelets

Today I stumbled over this interesting paper which describes the usage of the Karhunen-Loève Transform (KLT) for (weak) signal detection in time-series. Although there are many similarities with wavelet analysis, the KLT seems to be less computationally demanding (but its

Fedora 15 and CUDA

Driven by the curiosity for GNOME 3.0 and a little bit fed up with the Ubuntu installation on my GPU laptop I decided to install F15 on that machine. All my other PC’s are running F12 or F13, which are

Moved to Drupal

After more than four years of keeping my homepage in pure HTML I switched over to Drupal to manage hobiger.org. This will not affect the blog, which will still be available under this address and will continue to run on

GMT 5 is coming

The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) are a convenient software package for displaying data on a large variety of map projections. Until now data could be converted into GMT native (i.e. NetCDF) format and then output to postscript. With the announcement
