    MATLAB MATLAB GPU Cross-Correlation Code Fails with OOM on 8 GB Supercomputer

    Well, okay I guess. You probably see my point, though. One way to slice up the computations is to do the computations on different sets of frequency bands separately. But since you are doing cross-correlations between different frequency bands/channels that would not be a candidate. The only...

    Can you say more about why you are doing cross-correlations between different frequency channels?

    High School Fan is pushing in the front and sucking from the back

    Ah, got it. Well, I just checked our portable fan (which has flat blades) and indeed the dust accumulation is on the front of the fan, not the back. It must be due to impacting the air on the front side where the air is pushed away from the fan.

    High School Fan is pushing in the front and sucking from the back

    Cheaper fans use flat blades at an angle. Better fans use airfoils at an angle (like a propeller). Here is a good PF Insights article that may give you more of a feeling for how air moves around a fan/propeller and why the airflow over the back surface is slower/lower pressure (and may lead to...
