Edge intelligence delivers low-latency inference, yet most edge analytics remain hard-coded and must be redeployed as conditions change. When data patterns shift or new questions arise, engineers often need to write new scripts and push…
Software comes in releases. An implausible change to software is something that has never been changed in prior releases. When planning how to reduce defects, it is better to use plausible changes, i.e., changes with some precedence in the…
It has been recently advocated that in large communication systems it is beneficial both for the users and for the network as a whole to store content closer to users. One particular implementation of such an approach is to co-locate caches…
GPUs are the most popular platform for accelerating HPC workloads, such as artificial intelligence and science simulations. However, most microarchitectural research in academia relies on GPU core pipeline designs based on architectures…
Genetic Programming (GP) is a computationally intensive technique which is naturally parallel in nature. Consequently, many attempts have been made to improve its run-time from exploiting highly parallel hardware such as GPUs. However, a…
