—A commodity personal computer (PC) can be seen as a hybrid computing system equipped with two different kinds of processors, i.e. CPU and a graphics processing unit (GPU). Since...
This paper argues for explicit consideration of data fidelity during development of context-aware systems. Increasing the amount of data captured, stored, and distributed does not ...
As multicore architectures gain widespread use, it becomes increasingly important to be able to harness their additional processing power to achieve higher performance. However, e...
