Recent years saw the rapid development of peer-topeer (P2P) networks in a great variety of applications. However, similarity-based k-nearest-neighbor retrieval (k-NN) is still a c...
Helper threading is a technique that utilizes a second core or logical processor in a multi-threaded system to improve the performance of the main thread. A helper thread executes...
Providing scalable video services in a peer-to-peer (P2P) environment is challenging. Since videos are typically large and require high communication bandwidth for delivery, many ...
Abstract. Edge-server architectures are widely used to improve webapplication performance for non-transactional data. However, their use with transactional data is complicated by t...
—The ever-increasing computational power of contemporary microprocessors reduces the execution time spent on arithmetic computations (i.e., the computations not involving slow me...
