In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
Recent research suggests that DSM clusters can benefit from parallel coherence controllers. Parallel controllers require address partitioning and synchronization to avoid handlin...
With standard assumptions the routing and wavelength assignment problem (RWA) can be viewed as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). The problem, however, defies an exact solution bec...
Memory bandwidth is frequently a limiting factor in the design of high-speed switches and routers. In this paper, we introduce a buffering scheme called ping-pong buffering, that ...
Magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has emerged as a convenient and reliable alternative to conventional histology for characterizing the fiber structure of the myoca...
