In many image or video retrieval systems, the search of similar objects in the database includes a spatial access method to a multidimensional feature space. This step is generall...
Distributed mobile applications operate on devices with diverse capabilities, in heterogeneous environments, where parameters such as processor, memory and network utilisation, are...
We present practical algorithms for accelerating geometric queries on models made of NURBS surfaces using programmable Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We provide a generalized f...
In spite of the omnipresence of parallel (multi-core) systems, the predominant strategy to evaluate window-based stream joins is still strictly sequential, mostly just straightfor...
Recent high-performance processors employ sophisticated techniques to overlap and simultaneously execute multiple computation and memory operations. Intuitively, these techniques ...
