        Multiplication of thin algorithmic matrices is a simple but very important part of linear and scientific algebra programs in mathematics and physics, and due to its parallel nature, GPUs are one of the most suitable and important options. To select its executive platform. In recent years, due to the emphasis of researchers to consider energy consumption as one of the main design goals along with efficiency, very little effort has been made to improve the energy consumption of this algorithm on the GPU. In this article, this issue is addressed from the perspective of energy efficiency in efficiency obtained. Utilizing the configuration capability introduced in modern GPUs, by statistically examining the behavior of this algorithm when using different thin matrix storage formats and different hardware settings for more than 200 matrices Slim example, the best configuration settings for the thin matrix multiplication algorithm with different storage formats on the GPU are obtained. This configuration for each storage format is selected to give the best configuration in all samples tested. Manuscript profile

        In this study Data envelopment analysis is used for the assessment of enterprise resources planning systems of 18 manufacturing companies, to determine whether the defined goals for ERP systems have been able to affect the performance after the implementation of the system. Considering the identification of effective factors in implementing ERP systems and using the previous researches, the performance evaluation criteria of this system were identified. Then, using experts’ views the most important input indicators were ranked by fuzzy DEMATEL and output indicators by ANP. In this ranking, time spent on implementation, the implementation infrastructure, training and user support were identified as top input indicators, and three indicators of productivity increase, proper resource management and user satisfaction were selected as top output indicators. Using selected indicators, the performance of ERP systems of selected companies was evaluated. The results of this research will be useful in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of companies compared to top ones and making their ERP system even better. Manuscript profile

        Background and Purpose: In most of the studies, the direct effects of the ICT sector have been discussed, but the indirect effects (spillover) and how to measure them have not been addressed. This issue is on the agenda of this article. For this purpose, while determining the territory of the digital economy, the gross value of the core of the country's digital economy has been estimated. Methodology: In this article, using the Solow growth model, the spillover effects of the core of the digital economy (ICT) have been estimated for the period of 2002-2019. Findings: The results imply that in the period under review, according to the elasticity of labor productivity relative to the share of net capital formation of the ICT sector in the national economy (about 0.3), the spillover effects of the digital economy core have increased from 210 thousand billion Rials in 2015 to 279 thousand billion of Rials in 2019.
