Programmers and users of compute intensive scientific applications often do not want to (or even cannot) code load balancing and fault tolerance into their programs. The PBEAM syst...
In this paper we present the B-coder, an efficient binary arithmetic coder that performs extremely well on a wide range of data. The B-coder should be classed as an `approximate...
Secret sharing and multiparty computation (also called “secure function evaluation”) are fundamental primitives in modern cryptography, allowing a group of mutually distrustfu...
Background: Confidence in pairwise alignments of biological sequences, obtained by various methods such as Blast or Smith-Waterman, is critical for automatic analyses of genomic d...
IrisCode, a widely deployed iris recognition algorithm, developed in 1993 and continuously modified by Daugman has attracted considerable attentions. IrisCode using a coarse phase...
