Quicksilver: Fast predictive image registration - A deep learning approach

This paper introduces Quicksilver, a fast deformable image registration method. Quicksilver registration for image-pairs works by patch-wise prediction of a deformation model based directly on image appearance. A deep encoder-decoder network is used as the prediction model. While the prediction strategy is general, we focus on predictions for the Large Deformation Diffeomorphic Metric Mapping (...

RSA encryption using Extended Modular Arithmetic on the Quicksilver COSM Adaptive Computing Machine

Modular arithmetic is typically the computational bottleneck in a hardware implementation of public key cryptography algorithms. This paper focuses on an implementation of modular multiplication on the Quicksilver COSM adaptive computing machine as a run-time-reconfigurable user authentication context candidate. The design is targeted specifically to the COSM adaptive computing machine, taking ...

Quicksilver/OCaml: A Poor Man’s Type-Safe and Abstraction-Secure Communication Library

We present Quicksilver/OCaml, an Objective Caml library for communicating data in a possibly hostile network environment without losing type safety or abstraction. It is entirely implemented at user level, i.e., without modifying the compiler or the runtime at all. The key ideas are (1) representing types by (tuples of) functions, (2) abstraction by encryption, and (3) distinction of type repre...
