Abstract—The peer-to-peer networking concept has revolutionized the cost structure of Internet data dissemination by making large scale content delivery with low server cost feas...
The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling ...
Conditional branch induced control hazards cause significant performance loss in modern out-of-order superscalar processors. Dynamic branch prediction techniques help alleviate th...
This work analyses the accuracy of estimating the location of 3D landmarks and characteristic image structures. Based on nonlinear estimation theory we study the minimal stochastic...
