Many mathematical models have been proposed to evaluate the execution performance of an application with and without checkpointing in the presence of failures. They assume that th...
Parallel applications based on irregular meshes make use of mesh partitioners for efficient execution. Some mesh partitioners can map a mesh to a heterogeneous computational plat...
Wireless sensor networks are often studied with the goal of removing information from the network as efficiently as possible. However, when the application also includes an actuato...
Multi-core processors naturally exploit thread-level parallelism (TLP). However, extracting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) from individual applications or threads is still a ...
This paper addresses the challenging problem of similarity search over widely distributed ultra-high dimensional data. Such an application is retrieval of the top-k most similar d...
