In recent years, population aging and the consequent higher incidence of noncommunicable diseases, have increased the need for long-term health monitoring. Moreover, as healthcare cost is projected to grow substantially by 2030 in OECD countries, the deman ...

Many map-reduce frameworks as well as NoSQL systems rely on collection programming as their interface of choice due to its rich semantics along with an easily parallelizable set of primitives. Unfortunately, the potential of collection programming is not ...

Virtual memory (VM) is a crucial abstraction in modern computer systems at any scale, from handheld devices to datacenters. VM provides programmers the illusion of an always sufficiently large and linear memory, making programming easier. Although the core ...

We present a lightweight library for testing concurrent Scala programs by systematically exploring multiple interleavings between user-specified operations on shared objects. Our library is targeted at beginners of concurrent programming in Scala, runs on ...

Systems and method for a task scheduler with dynamic adjustment of concurrency levels and task granularity are disclosed for improved execution of highly concurrent analytical and transactional systems. The task scheduler can avoid both over commitment and ...

The growing complexity of digital signal processing applications makes a compelling case for the adoption of higher-level programming models such as dataflow for the implementation of applications on programmable logic devices and many/multi-core embedded ...

RePlAce is a state-of-the-art prototype of a flat, analytic, and nonlinear global cell placement algorithm, which models a placement instance as an electrostatic system with positively charged objects. It can handle large-scale standard-cell and mixed-cell ...

In a non-uniform memory access machine, the placement of software threads to hardware cores can have a significant effect on the performance of concurrent applications. Detecting the best possible placement for each application is a necessity for thread sc ...

In this article, we present a parallel prioritized Jacobian-based inverse kinematics algorithm for multithreaded architectures. We solve damped least squares inverse kinematics using a parallel line search by identifying and sampling critical input paramet ...

Gyrokinetic codes in plasma physics need outstanding computational resources to solve increasingly complex problems, requiring the effective exploitation of cutting-edge HPC architectures. This paper focuses on the enabling of ORB5, a state-of-the-art, fir ...

A priori, locking seems easy: To protect shared data from concurrent accesses, it is sufficient to lock before accessing the data and unlock after. Nevertheless, making locking efficient requires fine-tuning (a) the granularity of locks and (b) the locking ...

In this thesis, we revisit classic problems in shared-memory distributed computing through the lenses of (1) emerging hardware technologies and (2) changing requirements. Our contributions consist, on the one hand, in providing a better understanding of th ...

This paper introduces a novel computing architecture devoted to the ultra-low power analysis of multiple bio-signals. Its structure comprises several processors interfaced with a shared acceleration resource, implemented as a Coarse Grained Reconfigurable ...

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have the unique ability to be configured into application-specific architectures that are well suited to specific computing problems. This enables them to achieve performances and energy efficiencies that outclass oth ...
