— The BitTorrent (BT) file sharing protocol is popular due to its scalability property and the incentive mechanism to reduce free-riding. However, in designing such P2P file sh...
Most image processing algorithms can be parallelized by splitting parallel loops and by using very few communication patterns. Code parallelization using MPI still involves much p...
Atomic blocks allow programmers to delimit sections of code as ‘atomic’, leaving the language’s implementation to enforce atomicity. Existing work has shown how to implement...

In this paper we present a graph cuts based active contours (GCBAC) approach to object segmentation problems. Our method is a combination of active contours and the optimization t...
Compiler writers have crafted many heuristics over the years to approximately solve NP-hard problems efficiently. Finding a heuristic that performs well on a broad range of applic...
