Abstract—Performance is a key feature of large-scale computing systems. However, the achieved performance when a certain program is executed is significantly lower than the maxi...
The mean-shift (MS) algorithm is widely used in object tracking because of its speed and simplicity. However, it assumes certain overlap of object appearance and smooth change in ...
Future microprocessors will be highly susceptible to transient errors as the sizes of transistors decrease due to CMOS scaling. Prior techniques advocated full scale structural or...
— The quality of communications in mobile ad-hoc networks is largely determined by the topological stability. Characterizing the mobility of mobile nodes (e.g. how often they mov...
Frequent failures are becoming a serious concern to the community of high-end computing, especially when the applications and the underlying systems rapidly grow in size and compl...
