This paper describes VServ, a prototype architecture for a virtual private network (VPN) service, which builds and manages VPNs on demand. It allows each VPN to have guaranteed resources and customized control, and supports a highly dynamic VPN service where creation and modification operations can take place on fast timescales. These features are contingent on the automated establishment and m...

A field of Computational Biology where GPU acceleration can yield a relevant speed-up is related to the analysis of spectral data derived from, e.g., mass-spectrometry experiments. FastPaSS [4] is a tool that accelerates the identification of a spectrum in a spectral library by means of the SpectraST similarity scoring algorithm [14]. The core of the matching algorithm is represented by a dot p...
