We present a parallel data processor centered around a programming model of so called Parallelization Contracts (PACTs) and the scalable parallel execution engine Nephele [18]. Th...
We describe a new invariant-based data model for image databases under our approach for shape-based retrieval. The data model relies on contours description of the image shape, an...
To cope with the large amount of biological sequences being produced, a significant number of genes and proteins have been annotated by automated tools. A protein annotation is an...
Single chip heterogeneous multiprocessors are arising to meet the computational demands of portable and handheld devices. These computing systems are not fully custom designs trad...
Commodity hardware and software are growing increasingly more complex, with advances such as chip heterogeneity and specialization, deeper memory hierarchies, ne-grained power ma...
