Microprocessors are today getting more and more inefficient for a growing range of applications. Its principles -The Von Neumann paradigm[3]- based on the sequential execution of ...
I/O intensive workloads running in virtual machines can suffer massive performance degradation. Direct assignment of I/O devices to virtual machines is the best performing I/O vir...
Interpreting the relevance of a user-contributed tag with respect to the visual content of an image is an emerging problem in social image retrieval. In the literature this proble...
We introduce a general definition for the independence of a number of finite-valued variables, based on coherent lower previsions. Our definition has an epistemic flavour: it a...
Energy consumption and heat dissipation have become key considerations for modern high performance computer systems. In this paper, we focus on non-clairvoyant speed scaling to mi...
