Data prefetching is an effective data access latency hiding technique to mask the CPU stall
caused by cache misses and to bridge the performance gap between processor and …

In today's information-driven world, data access latency accounts for the expensive part of
processing user requests. One potential solution to access latency is prefetching, a …

Parallel applications are usually able to achieve high computational performance but suffer
from large latency in I/O accesses. I/O prefetching is an effective solution for masking the …

Data prefetching technique is widely used to bridge the growing performance gap between
processor and memory. Numerous prefetching techniques have been proposed to exploit …

Pedestrian head with arbitrary poses and size is prohibitively difficult to detect in many real
world applications. An appealing alternative is to utilize object detection technologies, which …

Steady improvements in storage capacities and CPU clock speeds intensify the performance
bottleneck at the I/O subsystem of modern computers. Caching data can efficiently short …

Raw data are often orders of magnitude larger than main memory for many applications. As
the performance of storage devices is still significantly slower than main memory, systems …

Multicore architecture has become the trend of high performance processors. While it is
generally accepted that we have entered the multicore era, concerns exist on scaling …

In the emerging big data scenario, distributed file systems play a vital role for storage and
access of large data generated in the web-based information systems. Improving …
