Parallel computing has become an important research field in the last years. The availability of hardware and the success of grid computing have motivated this interest. In this pa...
— In this work we show that a metaheuristic, the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS), can be effectively used in order to improve the performance of the hardware–friendly versio...
— Performing face detection and tracking on a mobile robot in a dynamic environment is a challenging task with the real-time constraints. To realize a natural reactive behavior o...
Systems on chip (SoC) have much in common with traditional (networked) distributed systems in that they consist of largely independent components with dedicated communication inte...
The Virtual Interface (VI) Architecture provides protected userlevel communication with high delivered bandwidth and low permessage latency, particularly for small messages. The V...
