In this paper, we investigate the benefits of a flexible, application-specific instruction set by adding a run-time Reconfigurable Functional Unit (RFU) to a VLIW processor. Preli...
Coordinating the interactions of applications running on the diversity of both mobile and embedded devices that will be common in ubiquitous computing environments is still a diff...
Retrieval techniques based on pure similarity metrics are often suffered from the scales of image features. An alternative approach is to learn a mapping based on queries and rele...
Traditional reliable multicast protocols depend on assumptions about flow control and reliability mechanisms, and they suffer from a kind of interference between these mechanisms. ...
Several operating systems projects revolve around moving functionality above or below the kernel "red line" to increase flexibility or performance. We describe how a gen...
