Most modern I/O systems treat each file access independently. However, events in a computer system are driven by programs. Thus, accesses to files occur in consistent patterns and...
Symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) connected with low-latency networks provide attractive building blocks for software distributed shared memory systems. Two distinct approaches hav...
Much research has been done in fast communication on clusters and in protocols for supporting software shared memory across them. However, the end performance of applications that...
A common statistical problem is that of nding the median element in a set of data. This paper presents a fastand portable parallel algorithm for nding the median given a set of el...
This paper presents e cient and portable implementations of a useful image enhancement process, the Symmetric Neighborhood Filter SNF, and an image segmentation technique which ma...
