Background: As biology becomes an increasingly computational science, it is critical that we develop software tools that support not only bioinformaticians, but also bench biologi...
—Due to the widespread use and inherent complexity of floating-point addition, much effort has been devoted to its speedup via algorithmic and circuit techniques. We propose a ne...
The growth in size and performance of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) has compelled System-on-aProgrammable-Chip (SoPC) designers to use soft processors for controlling sys...

In this work the Low Level Vision Unit (LLVU) of the Heterogeneous and Reconfigurable Machine for Image Analysis (HERMIA) is described. The LLVU consists of the innovative integra...
Abstract--Many shared-memory parallel systems use lockbased synchronization mechanisms to provide mutual exclusion or reader-writer access to memory locations. Software locks are i...
