We propose a parallel MPI search engine that is capable of automatically switching between asynchronous message passing and bulk-synchronous message passing modes of operation. Whe...
We present a distributed index data structure and algorithms devised to support parallel query processing of multimedia content in search engines. We present a comparative study wi...
Abstract. With the emergence of multi-core CPU (or Chip-level MultiProcessor -CMP-), it is essential to develop techniques that capitalize on CMP's advantages to speed up very...
In the life sciences, genomic databases for sequence search have been growing exponentially in size. As a result, faster sequencesearch algorithms to search these databases contin...

Bioinformaticists use the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) to characterize an unknown sequence by comparing it against a database of known sequences, thus detecting evolu...
