Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) XS is a new International Standard from the JPEG Committee (formally known as ISO/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) JTC1/SC29/WG1). It defines an interoperable, visually lossless low-latency lightweight ...
String sorting is a fundamental kernel of string matching and database index construction; yet, it has not been studied as extensively as fixed-length keys sorting. Because processing variable-length keys in hardware is challenging, it is no surprise that ...
To achieve resource-efficient hardware designs, HLS tools share (i.e., time-multiplex) functional units among operations of the same type. This optimization is typically performed together with operation scheduling to ensure the best possible unit usage at ...
Heterogeneous processing platforms combining in various architectures CPUs, GPUs, and programmable logic, are continuously evolving providing at each generation higher theoretical levels of computing performance. However, the challenge of how efficiently s ...
High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tools generate hardware designs from high-level programming languages. These tools almost universally build datapaths that are controlled using a centralized controller which relies on a static, compile-time schedule to determine ...
The building cultures of regions where plant resources abound show the adaptation of these local bio-based materials to the roofing of buildings: thatch, reed, bark or shingles. Despite a low environmental impact, these techniques require skilled manual wo ...
Word embeddings have gained increasing popularity in the recent years due to the Word2vec library and its extension fastText that uses subword information. In this paper, we aim at improving the execution speed of fastText training on homogeneous multi- an ...
This study proposes a harvesting robot capable of plucking tea leaves without cutting them with blades. To harvest high-quality tea, it is necessary to reproduce the plucking motion of breaking the petiole of the leaf, that is, the complicated human hand m ...
Biomolecular computing is the field of engineering where computation, storage, communication, and coding are obtained by exploiting interactions between biomolecules, especially DNA, RNA, and enzymes. They are a promising solution in a long-term vision, br ...
While domain adaptation has been used to improve the performance of object detectors when the training and test data follow different distributions, previous work has mostly focused on two-stage detectors. This is because their use of region proposals make ...
