The scheduler is a key component in determining the overall performance of a parallel computer, and as we show here, the schedulers in wide use today exhibit large unexplained gap...
Grid services provide an important abstract layer on top of heterogeneous components (hardware and software) that take part into a grid environment. We are developing a data grid s...
A fast collision detection and resolution scheme is one of the key components for interactive simulation of deformable objects. It is particularly challenging to reduce the computa...
This paper presents the result of an adaptive region growing segmentation technique for color document images using an irregular pyramid structure. The emphasis is in the segmentat...
Massively parallel computing systems are being built with thousands of nodes. Because of the high number of components, it is critical to keep these systems running even in the pre...
