—Automatic understanding of human behavior is an important and challenging objective in several surveillance applications. One of the main problems of this task consists in accur...
Clusters of SMPs are becoming increasingly common. However, the shared memory design of SMPs and the consequential contention between system processors for access to main memory c...
Achieving high performance under a peak temperature limit is a first-order concern for VLSI designers. This paper presents a new model of a thermally-managed system, where a stoch...
Due to process variations in deep sub-micron (DSM) technologies, the effects of timing defects are difficult to capture. This paper presents a novel coverage metric for estimating...
We introduce a network-based problem detection framework for distributed systems, which includes a data-mining method for discovering dynamic dependencies among distributed servic...
