Workstation clusters are becoming an interesting alternative to dedicated multiprocessors. In this environment, the probability of a failure, during an application's executio...
In this work we modify the conventional row buffer allocation mechanism used in DDR2 SDRAM banks to improve average memory latency and overall processor performance. Our method as...
Abstract--With General Purpose programmable GPUs becoming more and more popular, automated tools are needed to bridge the gap between achievable performance from highly parallel ar...
Synchronization in distributed systems is expensive because, in general, threads must stall to obtain a lock or to operate on volatile data. Transactional memory, on the other hand...
This work proposes the use of an adaptive neighborhood procedure to extract local statistical properties of images in order to improve a speckle noise "Maximum a Posteriori &q...
