Typical reconfigurable computing systems are based on an I/O interconnect such as PCIe.
This yields good bandwidth performance, but incurs significant overhead for small packet …

This paper proposes tiling techniques based on data dependencies and not in code structure.
The work presented here leverages and expands previous work by the authors in the …

This paper presents a classification algorithm based on Support Vector Machines classifiers
combined with Boosting techniques. This classifier presents a better performance in training …

The many-core revolution brought forward by recent advances in computer architecture has
created immense challenges in the writing of parallel programs for High Performance …

Traditional parallel programming methodologies for improving performance assume cache-based
parallel systems. However, new architectures, like the IBM Cyclops-64 (C64), belong …

The research proposed in this thesis will provide an analysis of these new scenarios,
proposing new methodologies and solutions that leverage these new challenges in order to …

Background : Neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an inflammatory disease,
which manifests mostly as recurrent episodes of optic neuritis or myelitis that cause …

Advanced many-core CPU chips already have a few hundreds of processing cores (eg, 160
cores in an IBM Cyclops-64 chip) and more and more processing cores become available …

The proportion of the world’s older adults and of its dementia cases is increasing in low and
middle-income countries. This is particularly true in Colombia. There, the number of …
