The prediction of the native structures of proteins, the socalled protein folding problem, is a NP hard multi-minima optimization problem for which to date no routine solutions ex...
In mobile devices, the wireless network interface card (WNIC) consumes a significant portion of overall system energy. One way to reduce energy consumed by a device is to transit...
Although optimization technology has been successful over the past 40 years, recent trends are emerging that demand we reconsider the paradigm that we are using for code optimizati...
Much work has been done on characterizing the workload of a database system. Previous studies focused on providing different types of statistical summaries, and modeling the run-ti...
In many applications surfaces with a large number of primitives occur. Geometry compression reduces storage space and transmission time for such models. A special case is given by...
