Computing large multiple protein sequence alignments using progressive alignment tools such as ClustalW requires several hours on state-of-the-art workstations. ClustalW uses a th...
QR decomposition is a computationally intensive linear algebra operation that factors a matrix A into the product of a unitary matrix Q and upper triangular matrix R. Adaptive sys...
The video segmentation problem consists in the identification of the boundary between consecutive shots. When two consecutive frames are similar, they are considered to be in the...
In the area of Grid computing, there is a growing need to process large amounts of data. To support this trend, we need to develop efficient parallel storage systems that can prov...
Computer science and engineering nowadays appears to be challenged (and driven) by technological progress and quantitative growth. Among the technological progress challenges are ...
