The ,pipeline processor is a common paradigm for very high speed computing machinery. Pipeline processors provide high speed because their separate stages can operate concurrently, much as different people on a manufacturing assembly line work concurrently on material passing d0w.n the line. Although the concurrency of pipeline processors makes their design a demanding task, they can be Found i...

MOTIVATION Experimental techniques alone cannot keep up with the production rate of protein sequences, while computational techniques for protein structure predictions have matured to such a level to provide reliable structural characterization of proteins at large scale. Integration of multiple computational tools for protein structure prediction can complement experimental techniques. RESUL...

GuiTAR is an anaphora resolution system designed to be modular and usable as an off-the-shelf component of a NL processing pipeline. We discuss the system’s design and a preliminary evaluation of the two algorithms implemented in the current version of the system – for definite descriptions and for pronoun resolution.

We present the ADAMACH data centric dialog system, that allows to perform onand offline mining of dialog context, speech recognition results and other system-generated representations, both within and across dialogs. The architecture implements a “fat pipeline” for speech and language processing. We detail how the approach integrates domain knowledge and evolving empirical data, based on a user...

Pipeline parallelism organizes a parallel program as a linear sequence of stages. Each stage processes elements of a data stream, passing each processed data element to the next stage, and then taking on a new element before the subsequent stages have necessarily completed their processing. Pipeline parallelism is used especially in streaming applications that perform video, audio, and digital ...

This paper addresses the issue of improving the energy efficiency of processors by eliminating trivial operations. The paper provides a new classification of trivial operations and quantifies their relative frequency in desktop and embedded applications. It then presents a hardware technique to remove trivial operations as early as at the decode stage of the pipeline to save energy. This paper ...

The aim of this paper is to develop an approach to visualizations that benefits from distributed computing. Three schemes of process distribution are considered: parallel, pipeline, and expanding pipeline computations. Expanding pipeline structure synthesizes the advantages and traits of both parallel and pipeline computations. In expanding pipeline computing, a novel approach presented in this...

Visual information processing and the management of visual content has become a significant part of contemporary economy. The visual information processing pipeline is divided into several modules including, (i) capture and enhancement, (ii) efficient representation for storage and transmission, (iii) processing for efficient and secure distribution, and, (iv) representation for efficient archi...
