There are two big challenges to build a web service that will provide content with multiple languages. These are (i) developing the application so that it supports many region and language specific elements such as various character sets and (ii) setting up the database so that it can handle those elements. Most basically, a multilingual web service should be able to receive, process, and display text including international characters. READ FULL ARTICLE
Abstract: Applying special techniques to solve large linear systems with sparse matrices (those
with very large number of zero elements) have been gaining increasing popularity
recently. By making use of the zero elements in a sparse matrix, significant gains can be
achieved in space and performance. In this paper, I will describe one of these special
techniques what is called sparse matrix reordering (specifically Cuthill-McKee
Ordering) and show the improvements that such operation provides in solving the linear
systems using Gaussian Elimination.
