Abstract--We address the problem of computing a local orientation map in a digital image. We show that standard image gray level quantization causes a strong bias in the repartitio...
An increasing number of systems rely on programming language technology to ensure safety and security of low-level code. Unfortunately, these systems typically rely on a complex, ...
User-level network interfaces (UNIs) have reduced the overheads of communication by exposing the buffers used by the network interface DMA engine to the applications. This removes...
—The potential for improving the performance of data-intensive scientific programs by enhancing data reuse in cache is substantial because CPUs are significantly faster than me...
One of the outcomes of DARPA’s HPCS program has been the creation of three new high productivity languages: Chapel, Fortress, and X10. While these languages have introduced impro...
