In this paper, we investigate the practical performance of lock-free techniques that provide synchronization on shared-memory multiprocessors. Our goal is to provide a technique t...
Our approach to the Log Analysis for Digital Societies (LADS) task of LogCLEF 2009 is to define three different levels of performance: success, failure and strong failure. To inve...
Using off-the-shelf commodity workstations to build a cluster for parallel computing has become a common practice. In studying or designing a cluster of workstations one should ha...
This paper is concerned with the performance evaluation of fingerprint verification systems. After an initial classification of biometric testing initiatives, we explore both the t...
It has been demonstrated that simple and inexpensive techniques are sufficient to spoof fingerprint scanners. Previously, effective use of physiological phenomenon of perspiration...
