Diminutive devices and high clock frequency of future microprocessor generations are causing increased concerns for transient soft failures in hardware, necessitating fault detection and recovery mechanisms even in commodity processors. In this paper, we p ...
Since June 1998, EPFL's Visible Human Slice Server (http://visiblehuman.epfl.ch) allows to extract arbitrarily oriented and positioned slices. More than 300,000 slices are extracted each year. In order to give a 3D view of anatomic structures, a new servic ...

The visible human slice server started offering its slicing services at the end of June 1998. From that date until the end of May, more than 280000 slices were extracted from the Visible Man, by laymen interested in anatomy, by students and by specialists. ...
This paper presents the semi-passive replication technique -- a variant of passive replication -- that can be implemented in the asynchronous system model without requiring agreement on a primary (usually done using a membership service). Passive replicati ...
Parallel servers for I/O and compute intensive continuous media applications are difficult to develop. A server application comprises many threads located in different address spaces as well as files striped over multiple disks located on different compute ...

This paper presents the semi-passive replication technique -- a variant of passive replication -- that can be implemented in the asynchronous system model without requiring a membership service to agree on a primary. Passive replication is a popular replic ...
In microprocessor-based systems, large power savings can be achieved through reduction of the transition activity of the on- and off-chip busses. This is because the total capacitance being switched when a voltage change occurs on a bus line is usually sen ...
A comparative study of X- and O-mode high field side launch for electron cyclotron heating (ECH) breakdown and startup of tokamak plasmas has been performed. It is found that X-mode power is not absorbed at the cyclotron resonance but uniquely at the upper ...
Imaging applications such as filtering, image transforms and compression/decompression require vast amounts of computing power when applied to large data sets. These applications would potentially benefit from the use of parallel processing. However, dedic ...
