In this paper, we investigate the benefits of a flexible, application-specific instruction set by adding a run-time Reconfigurable Functional Unit (RFU) to a VLIW processor. Preli...
Cache optimizations typically include code transformations to increase the locality of memory accesses. An orthogonal approach is to enable for latency hiding by introducing prefet...
We present a system for three-dimensional visualization of complex Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) data. Every LCMS data point has three attributes: time, mass, a...
Compression in column-oriented databases has been proven to offer both performance enhancements and reductions in storage consumption. This is especially true for read access as c...
Index compression techniques are known to substantially decrease the storage requirements of a text retrieval system. As a side-effect, they may increase its retrieval performanc...
