In the field of computer animation the process of creating an animated character is usually a long and tedious task. An animation character is usually efined by a 3D mesh (a set of triangles in the space) that gives its ...
The evolution of microprocessor design in the last few decades has changed significantly, moving from simple inorder single core architectures to superscalar and vector architectures in order to extract the maximum available ...
High-throughput real-time Big Data stream processing requires fast incremental algorithms that keep models consistent with most recent data. In this scenario, Hoeffding Trees are considered the state-of-the-art single ...
Computer architects are beginning to embrace heterogeneous systems as an effective method to utilize increases in transistor densities for executing a diverse range of workloads under varying performance and energy ...
(English) Coastal areas support important ecosystems with great ecological value, giving rise to countless resources increasingly exploited by humans. Understanding the processes occurring in both inland and aquatic ...
Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processors are very popular in embedded and mobile computing domain. Use of VLIW processors range from Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) found in a plethora of communication and multimedia ...
Recently, high performance processor designs have evolved toward Chip-Multiprocessor (CMP) architectures to deal with instruction level parallelism limitations and, more important, to manage the power consumption that is ...
In recent years there has been an extraordinary growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and its protocols. The increasing diffusion of electronic devices with identification, computing and communication capabilities is ...
With the arrival of free on-line machine translation (MT) systems, came the possibility to improve automatic translations with the help of daily users. One of the methods to achieve such improvements is to ask to users ...
This thesis presents cross-domain approaches that improve the effective use of multithreaded architectures. The contributions of the thesis can be classified in three groups. First, we propose several methods for thread ...
Increasing processors' clock frequency has traditionally been one of the largest drivers of performance improvements for computing systems. In the first half of the 2000s, however, it became clear that continuing to increase ...
Virtual memory improves programmer productivity, enhances process security, and increases memory utilization. However, virtual memory requires an address translation from the virtual to the physical address space on every ...
(English) Bone is the second most frequent tissue transplantation right after blood transfusion. Although it has natural self-healing abilities, bone grafts are required in critical size defects to provide mechanical ...
Nowadays, market trends have made companies modify the way of doing business. The current context of globalization, economic crisis, political conditions and competence among enterprises involves the continuous challenge ...
Critical Real-Time Embedded Systems (CRTES) follow a verification and validation process on the timing and functional correctness. This process includes the timing analysis that provides Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) ...
Distribution of goods is essential for the economic development of cities but at the same time it entails several problems to the urban systems and different stakeholders. Carriers spend a significant portion of their cost ...
The main objective of this study is to improve wind wave forecasting in the NW Mediterranean Sea while focusing on the characteristic sharp gradients of the wind and wave conditions. This work was motivated by the limited ...
El ràpid creixement de la Web requereix una gran quantitat de recursos computacionals que han de ser utilitzats eficientment. Avui en dia, els servidors basats en hardware estendard son les plataformes preferides per ...
(English) A solar sail is a method of spacecraft propulsion that uses only the solar radiation pressure (SRP). The main research object of this thesis is a solar sail spacecraft in the artificially created libration point ...
Power line communication (PLC) is considered as the most viable enabler of the smart grid. PLC exploits the power line infrastructure for data transmission and provides an economical communication backbone to support the ...
