Scheduling query execution plans is a particularly complex problem in hierarchical parallel systems, where each site consists of a collection of local time-shared (e.g., CPU(s) or...
We present a systematic approach to synthesize an instruction set such that the given application software can be efficiently mapped to a parameterized, pipelined microarchitectur...
Image segmentation based on pairwise pixel similarities has been a very active field of research in recent years. The drawbacks common to these segmentation methods are the enormou...
