Transactional Memory (TM) systems must track memory accesses made by concurrent transactions in order to detect conflicts. Many TM implementations use signatures for this purpose, which summarize reads and writes in ...

In this paper, a new family of formats to deal with real number for applications requiring round to nearest is proposed. They are based on shifting the set of exactly represented numbers which are used in conventional ...

Abstract Recently, short-term dense trajectories features (DTF) have shown state-of-the-art results in video recognition and retrieval. However, their use has not been extensively studied on the problem of gait recognition. ...

This paper evaluates how fusing multimodal features (audio, RGB, and depth) can enhance the task of gait recognition, as well as gender and shoe recognition. While most previous research has focused on visual descriptors ...

In hardware transactional memory, signatures have been proposed to keep track of memory locations accessed in a transaction to help conflict detection. Generally, signatures are implemented as Bloom filters that suffer ...

Current industry proposals for hardware transactional memory focus on best-effort solutions where hardware limits are imposed on transactions. These designs can efficiently execute transactions but they may abort due to ...

Dynamic programming (DP) approaches, in particular value iteration, is often seen as a method to derive optimal policies in inventory management. The challenge in this approach is to deal with an increasing state space ...

Half-Unit-Biased (HUB) is an emerging format based on shifting the represented numbers by half Unit in the Last Place. This format simplifies two’s complement and roundto- nearest operations by preventing any carry ...

Several previous publications have shown the area and delay reduction when implementing real number computation using HUB formats for both floating-point and fixed-point. In this paper, we present a HUB floating-point ...
