This thesis aims to analyze, model, and develop a framework for next-generation multimedia authoring tools targeted to end-users. In particular, I concentrate on the combination o...
Multicore processors have not only reintroduced Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architectures in nowadays parallel computers, but they are also responsible for non-uniform access ...
Cache-based, general purpose CPUs perform at a small fraction of their maximum floating point performance when executing memory-intensive simulations, such as those required for sp...
In this paper, we introduce the open-source PivPav backend tool for reconfigurable computing. Essentially, PivPav provides an interface to a library of digital circuits that are ke...
While multimodal interfaces are becoming more and more used and supported, their development is still difficult and there is a lack of authoring tools for this purpose. The goal of...
