Quantum algorithms are a very promising field. However, creating and manipulating these kind of algorithms is a very complex task, specially for software engineers used to work at higher abstraction levels. The work presented here is part…
Currently there is considerable interest in making use of many-core processor architectures, such as Nvidia and AMD graphics processing units (GPUs) for scientific computing. In this work we explore the use of the Open Computing Language…
Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) is a classic application with a growing business. CPU-based OLTP has low lock serving efficiency. The main reason is that most locks are cold, and the lock agent must issue frequent memory accesses to…
Solving complex reasoning tasks may involve visual understanding, domain knowledge retrieval, numerical calculation, and multi-step reasoning. Existing methods augment large language models (LLMs) with external tools but are restricted to…
OR-constrained (ORC) graphical user interface layouts unify conventional constraint-based layouts with flow layouts, which enables the definition of flexible layouts that adapt to screens with different sizes, orientations, or aspect ratios…
ICE-Talk is an open source web-based GUI that allows the use of a TTS system with controllable parameters via a text field and a clickable 2D plot. It enables the study of latent spaces for controllable TTS. Moreover it is implemented as a…
Existing performance comparisons of QUIC and TCP compared an optimized QUIC to an unoptimized TCP stack. By neglecting available TCP improvements inherently included in QUIC, comparisons do not shed light on the performance of current web…
Transaction processing systems are the crux for modern data-center applications, yet current multi-node systems are slow due to network overheads. This paper advocates for Compute Express Link (CXL) as a network alternative, which enables…
Responding to the "datacenter tax" and "killer microseconds" problems for datacenter applications, diverse solutions including Smart NIC-based ones have been proposed. Nonetheless, they often suffer from high overhead of communications over…
FPGA overlays are commonly implemented as coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures with a goal to improve designers' productivity through balancing flexibility and ease of configuration of the underlying fabric. To truly facilitate full…
Computer-use agents increasingly operate inside live personal workspaces, where their actions can modify files, applications, GUI state, credentials, and authenticated sessions. This creates a tension between safety and quality: agents need…
With the potential of quantum algorithms to solve intractable classical problems, quantum computing is rapidly evolving and more algorithms are being developed and optimized. Expressing these quantum algorithms using a high-level language…
Quantum computers offer promising approaches to various fields. To use current noisy quantum computers, developers need to examine the compilation of a logical circuit, the status of available hardware, and noises in results. As those tasks…
