Facial animation has been combined with text-to-speech synthesis to create innovative multimodal interfaces. In this paper, we present an architecture for this multimodal interfac...
We study the issue of performance prediction on the SGIPower Challenge, a typical SMP. On such a platform, the cost of memory accesses depends on their locality and on contention ...

Spatial-lattice computations with finite-range interactions are an important class of easily parallelized computations. This class includes many simple and direct algorithms for ...
Most software that most people use most of the time needs only moderate assurance of fitness for its intended purpose. Unlike high-assurance software, where the severe consequence...
Selective dynamic compilation systems, typically driven by annotations that identify run-time constants, can achieve significant program speedups. However, manually inserting ann...
