While cloud computing has brought paradigm shifts to computing services, researchers and
developers have also found some problems inherent to its nature such as bandwidth …

The high-performance computing I/O stack has been complex due to multiple software
layers, the inter-dependencies among these layers, and the different performance tuning …

We present a novel, purely affinity-based natural image matting algorithm. Our method relies
on carefully defined pixel-to-pixel connections that enable effective use of information …

Big data has revolutionized science and technology leading to the transformation of our
societies. High-performance computing (HPC) provides the necessary computational power …

Scientific experiments and large-scale simulations produce massive amounts of data. Many
of these scientific datasets are arrays, and are stored in file formats such as HDF5 and …

We present a comprehensive survey on parallel I/O in the high-performance computing
(HPC) context. This is an important field for HPC because of the historic gap between …

Recent years have seen an explosion of data volumes from a myriad of distributed sources
such as ubiquitous cameras and various sensors. The challenges of analyzing these …

In-situ analytics has lately been shown to be an effective approach to reduce both I/O and
storage costs for scientific analytics. Develo** an efficient in-situ implementation, however …

With the growing popularity of Internet applications and the widespread use of mobile
Internet, Internet traffic has maintained rapid growth over the past two decades. Internet …

An array DBMS streamlines large Nd array management. A large portion of such arrays
originates from the geospatial domain. The arrays often natively come as raster files while …
