Background: Protein sequence alignments have become indispensable for virtually any evolutionary, structural or functional study involving proteins. Modern sequence search and com...
Hybrid chip multithreaded SMPs present new challenges as well as new opportunities to maximize performance. Our intention is to discover the optimal operating configuration of suc...
Many techniques have been proposed in the past for the protection of VLSI design IPs (intellectual property). CAD tools and algorithms are intensively used in all phases of modern...
Classical floorplanning minimizes a linear combination of area and wirelength. When Simulated Annealing is used, e.g., with the Sequence Pair representation, the typical choice o...
Abstract—Large-scale parallel applications often produce immense quantities of data that need to be analyzed. To avoid performing repeated, costly disk accesses, analysis of larg...
