Parallelism is often required for performance. In these situations an excess of non-
determinism is harmful as it means the program can have several different behaviours or …

An algorithm for locating quasi-frontal views of human faces in cluttered scenes is
presented. The algorithm works by coupling a set of local feature detectors with a statistical …

The halt in clock frequency scaling has forced architects and language designers to look
elsewhere for continued improvements in performance. We believe that extracting maximum …

Stream programs represent an important class of high-performance computations. Defined
by their regular processing of sequences of data, stream programs appear most commonly …

This textbook serves as an introduction to the subject of embedded systems design, with
emphasis on integration of custom hardware components with software. The key problem …

Stream based languages are a popular approach to expressing parallelism in modern
applications. The efficient mapping of streaming parallelism to multi-core processors is …

Parallel programming has been a challenging task for application programmers. Stream
processing is an application domain present in several scientific, enterprise, and financial …

Methods are explored for e±ciently mapping GNSS signal processing techniques to
multicore general-purpose proces-sors. The aim of this work is to exploit the emergence of …

Sistemas baseados em fluxo contínuo de dados representam diversos domínios de
aplicações, por exemplo, video, áudio, processamento gráfico e de rede, etc. Os programas …

(57) ABSTRACT A technique for compiling and running high-level program on
heterogeneous computers may include partitioning a program code into two or more logical …
