(English) Despite its tremendous potential, it is still unclear how quantum computing will scale to satisfy the requirements of its most powerful applications. Continued progress in the fabrication and control of qubits ...
(English) The rising interest in extracting value from data has led to a broad proliferation of monitoring infrastructures, most notably composed by sensors, intended to collect this new oil. Thus, gathering data has become ...
The increasing demand for new functionalities in current and future hard real-time embedded systems, like the ones deployed in automotive and avionics industries, is driving an increment in the performance required in ...
Increasingly High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications run on heterogeneous multi-core platforms. The basic reason of the growing popularity of these architectures is their low power consumption, and high throughput ...
(English) echnologies are extensively used to collect huge amounts of personal information from our online activity, including the things we search for, the sites we visit, the people we contact, or the products we buy. ...
(English) The Oil and Gas (O&G) industry ranks prominently among the leading commercial users of powerful supercomputers worldwide, as indicated by global High-Performance Computing (HPC) ranking lists, such as TOP500 and ...
Internet security poses complex challenges at different levels, where even the basic requirement of availability of Internet connectivity becomes a conundrum sometimes. Recent Internet service disruption events have made ...
(English) In this thesis, we study the challenges preventing ASR deployment on edge devices and propose innovations to tackle them, hopefully moving the technology a step forward to the future. First, we characterize ...
Today there are two main vector processors design trends. On the one hand, we have vector processors designed for long vectors lengths such as the SX-Aurora TSUBASA which implements vector lengths of 256 elements (16384-bits). ...
(English) Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have become ubiquitous in a wide range of application domains. Despite their success, training DNNs is an expensive task which has motivated the use of reduced numerical precision ...
Technology in the twenty-first century is rapidly developing and driving us into a new smart computing world, and emerging lots of new computing architectures. Fog-to-Cloud (F2C) is among one of them, which emerges to ...
Les últimes dècades el rendiment dels processadors i de les memòries ha millorat a diferent ritme, limitant el rendiment dels processadors i creant el conegut memory gap. Sol·lucionar aquesta diferència de rendiment és un ...
Network monitoring has always been a topic of foremost importance for both network operators and researchers for multiple reasons ranging from anomaly detection to tra c classi cation or capacity planning. Nowadays, as ...
Today, vast streams of structured and unstructured data have been incorporated in databases, and analytical processes are applied to discover patterns, correlations, trends and other useful relationships that help to take ...
(English) Despite groundbreaking technological innovations, the disparity between processor and memory speeds (known as Memory Wall) is still a major performance obstacle for modern systems. Hardware prefetching is a ...
(English) The rapid development in computing technology has paved the way for directive-based programming models towards a principal role in maintaining software portability of performance-critical applications. Efforts ...
In this work, we evaluate aggressive undervolting, i.e., voltage underscaling below the nominal level to reduce the energy consumption of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Usually, voltage guardbands are added by ...
During many years, people and governments have been warned about the increasing levels of pollution and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions that are endangering our lives on this planet. The Information and Communication ...
It is within the capabilities of current technology to support the emerging learning paradigms. These paradigms suggest that today’s learning activities and environments are pervas ive and require a higher level of dynamism ...
The main motivation of this dissertation is the exploration of the field of online text-dependent writer recognition, in order to provide evidence of the usefulness of short sequences of text to perform identification and ...
