We propose two new instructions, swperm and sieve, that can be used to efficiently complete an arbitrary bit-level permutation of an n-bit word with or without repetitions. Permut...
Water is our most precious and most rapidly declining natural resource. We explore pervasive technology as an approach for promoting water conservation in public and private space...
We analyze the problem of packing squares in an online fashion: Given an semi-infinite strip of width 1 and an unknown sequence of squares with side lengths in [0, 1] that arrive...
We propose a vector representation (called a 3D signature) for 3D face shape in biometrics applications. Elements of the vector correspond to fixed surface points in a face-centere...
Temporal locality in workloads creates conditions in which a server, in order to remain available, should quickly process bursts of requests with large service requirements. In th...
