Control intensive scalar programs pose a very different challenge to highly pipelined supercomputers than vectorizable numeric applications. Function call/return and branch instru...
Emerging large scale utility computing systems like Grids promise computing and storage to be provided to end users as a utility. System management services deployed in the middle...
Abstract--Adaptive microarchitectures are a promising solution for designing high-performance, power-efficient microprocessors. They offer the ability to tailor computational resou...

In previous studies on 4-DOF parallel mechanisms with four sub-chains, only symmetric arrangement of those four chains connected to the top plate was considered. Such symmetric sha...
This paper describes an animated conversational agent called Kare1 which integrates a talking head interface with a linguistically motivated human-machine dialogue system. The age...
