Computing technology has witnessed an inimitable progress in the last decades which is the result of CMOS technology scaling commensurate with Moore's law. Transistor feature sizes have shrunk to half at each generation, ...
Dynamically typed languages are ubiquitous in today's applications. These languages ease the task of programmers but introduce significant runtime overheads since variables are neither declared nor bound to a particular ...
This thesis takes a HW/SW collaborative approach to tackle the problem of computational inefficiency in a holistic manner. The hardware is redesigned by restraining the datapath to merely 16-bit datawidth (integer datapath ...
Current software systems contain a multitude of software components: from simple libraries to complex plugins and services. System security and resiliency depends on being able to isolate individual components onto separate ...
Inter-node communication has turned out to be one of the determining factors of the performance on modern HPC systems. Furthermore, the situation only gets worse with the ever-incresing size of the cores involved. Hence, ...
Graphics Processing Units (GPU) have been widely adopted to accelerate the execution of HPC workloads due to their vast computational throughput, ability to execute a large number of threads inside SIMD groups in parallel ...
Esta tesis se enmarca en el ámbito de las técnicas de mejora de la eficiencia de ejecución (disminución del consumo y aumento de la velocidad) en el diseño de procesadores orientados a la ejecución de aplicaciones multimedia. ...
Data prefetching has long been used as a technique to improve access times to persistent data. It is based on retrieving data records from persistent storage to main memory before the records are needed. Data prefetching ...
Internet access is still unavailable to one-third of the world population due to the lack of infrastructure, high cost, and the digital divide. Many access-limited communities opt for shared Internet access where they build ...
The gradual integration of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) in civil airspace, sharing airways with commercial flights, is expected to be completed once the legal issues and those regarding the unmanned traffic ...
The ever demanding bandwidth requirements for supporting emerging telecom services such as ultra-high-definition video streaming, cloud computing, connected car, virtual/augmented reality, etc., bring to the fore the ...
With an increasing number of devices and heterogeneous distributed applications, it is becoming evident that service delivered by the current Internet fall short to supply the actual Quality of Service (QoS) requirements ...
Deep Learning has achieved outstanding results in many fields and led to groundbreaking discoveries. With the steady increase in datasets and model sizes, there has been a recent surge in Machine Learning applications in ...
(English) The convergence of High Performance Computing (HPC), Big Data (BD), and Machine Learning (ML) in the computing continuum is being pursued in earnest across the academic and industry. We envision virtualization ...
El objetivo de nuestro trabajo ha sido defender la tesis de que, para los entornos de trabajos actuales, multiprocesador, una opción válida para obtener el mejor rendimiento de las aplicaciones paralelas de propósito general ...
Community Networks (CN) are naturally open and decentralized structures, that grow organically with the addition of heterogeneous network devices, contributed and configured as needed by their participants. The continuous ...
El rendimiento de los actuales sistemas multiprocesador de memoria compartida depende tanto de la utilización eficiente de todos los componentes del sistema (procesadores, memoria, etc), como de las características del ...
In recent years, multi-threaded processors have become more and more popular in industry in order to increase the system aggregated performance and per-application performance, overcoming the limitations imposed by the ...
Scaling traditional telecommunication networks so that they are able to cope with the volume of future traffic demands and the stringent European Commission (EC) regulations on emissions would entail unaffordable investments. ...
