Because of the large variation across different environments, a generic classifier trained on extensive data-sets may perform sub-optimally in a particular test environment. In th...
Accelerated graphics cards, or Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), have become ubiquitous in recent years. On the right kinds of problems, GPUs greatly surpass CPUs in terms of raw ...
In a distributed network, a compact multicast scheme is a routing scheme that allows any source to send messages to any set of targets. We study the trade-off between the space us...
Hybrid architectures combining the strengths of generalpurpose processors with application-specific hardware accelerators can lead to a significant performance improvement. Our ...
