For sure you have listened in these day about ESA spacecraft Rosetta, that after a 10-years travel has arrived next to Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet where it has dropped the lander Philae that’s anchored to the surface. Weel, more over the famous Philae, there’s another instrument that I love in the payload of Rosetta: VIRTIS (on board of another ESA spacecraft too, Venus Express), the protagonist of my thesis work...
Read MoreHi to all, I’m very proud to introduce you to my first academic publication: Simulazione di fluidi realtime basato su SPH e accelerato tramite GPU It is the result of the publication of my Master Degree Thesis as a Book. L’argomento trattato in questo libro ha riguardato la progettazione e sviluppo di un simulatore di fluidi basato su Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, una tecnica mediante la quale il fluido simulato...
Read MoreI’m so excited! I’m preparing my first academic publication! 😀
Read MoreLet’s start programming posts collection, with an important but very easy topic: Machine Epsilon (or Machine Zero, or Machine Precision).It represents the smallest floating point value belonging to F (set of floating point values), different in absolute value from 0. The algorithm to get this value consists of the following steps: init a floating point variable u1=1 until 1+u1 is different from 1 divide u1 by 2 check if 1+u1 is...
