Conference Object Teaching Accelerated Computing with Hands-On Experience(IEEE Computer Soc, 2025) Oz, Isil; Iheme, Leonardo O.Heterogeneous computing systems maintain high-performance executions with parallel hardware resources. Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) with many parallel efficient cores and high-bandwidth memory structures enable accelerated computing for high-performance, deep learning, and embedded programs from diverse domains. The expertise in GPU programming requires a significant effort to utilize parallel computational units efficiently. Teaching programming for heterogeneous systems also becomes difficult due to dedicated hardware requirements and up-to-date course materials. In this paper, we present our teaching experience in an undergraduate parallel programming course, where we adopt NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute workshop and teaching kit contents and GPU devices at different scales to expose students to a set of hardware platforms with hands-on coding experience.Article Blank Frame and Intensity Variation Distortion Detection and Restoration Pipeline for Phase-Contrast Microscopy Time-Lapse Images(Aves, 2024) Ucar, Mahmut; Iheme, Leonardo O.; Onal, Sevgi; Pesen-Okvur, Devrim; Yalcin-Ozuysal, Ozden; Toreyin, Behcet U.; Unay, DevrimIn this study, we propose a preprocessing pipeline for the detection and correction of distorted frames in time-lapse images obtained from phase-contrast microscopy. The proposed pipeline employs the average intensities of frames as a foundational element for the analysis. In order to evaluate the degree of correction required for intensity variance, a normalization technique is applied to the difference between the average intensity of a specific frame and the median average intensity of all frames within the study. Our restoration method increases the histogram similarity between the distorted and non-distorted frames, preserves trans-passing pixels in regions of interest, and mitigates the development of additional distortions. The efficacy of the proposed method was evaluated using 15 395 time-lapse image frames from 27 experiments using our own dataset and 830 time-lapse images from four different experiments obtained from the cell tracking challenge. The results of the validation demonstrate a high degree of numerical and visual accuracy of the proposed pipeline.Conference Object Detection and Restoration Pipeline for Phase Contrast Microscopy Time Series Images(IEEE, 2022) Iheme, Leonardo O.; Uçar, Mahmut; Önal, Sevgi; Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Pesen Okvur, Devrim; Töreyin, Behçet U.; Ünay, DevrimWe propose a pre-processing pipeline for the de-tection and restoration of distorted frames in phase-contrast microscopy time-series images. The analysis is based on the average intensity values of the frames within any given time- series image. The extent of the correction of intensity variation in frames is determined by the normalization of the difference between the current frame's average intensity and the median of average intensity of all frames. Our restoration algorithm preserves regional trans-passing pixels, does not cause new distortions, and increases the histogram similarity between the distorted and non-distorted frames. The algorithm was validated on 15,395 time-series image frames from 27 experiments and the results were found to be visually and quantitatively accurate.
