While general-purpose processors have only recently employed chip multiprocessor (CMP) architectures, network processors (NPs) have used heterogeneous multi-core architectures sin...
Abstract--Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) offers an increasingly fine-grained method for detecting copy number variations in DNA. These copy number variat...
