Memory swapping ensures smooth application switching for mobile systems by caching applications in the background. To further play the role of memory swapping, remote swapping across mobile devices has been widely studied, which caches applications to ...

Modern mobile devices adopt two-level memory swapping consisting of ZRAM and storage devices to relieve memory pressure. In the swap subsystem, ZRAM can improve application responsiveness and reduce write traffic to storage devices while consuming ...

In contrast to fully supervised methods using pixel-wise mask labels, box-supervised instance segmentation takes advantage of simple box annotations, which has recently attracted increasing research attention. This paper presents a novel single-shot ...

Weakly-supervised segmentation with label-efficient sparse annotations has attracted increasing research attention to reduce the cost of laborious pixel-wise labeling process, while the pairwise affinity modeling techniques play an essential role in this ...

Mobile systems and applications are becoming increasingly feature-rich and powerful, which constantly suffer from memory pressure, especially for devices equipped with limited DRAM. Swapping inactive DRAM pages to the storage device is a promising ...

Semantic segmentation on driving-scene images is vital for autonomous driving. Although encouraging performance has been achieved on daytime images, the performance on nighttime images are less satisfactory due to the insufficient exposure and the lack of ...

In contrast to the fully supervised methods using pixel-wise mask labels, box-supervised instance segmentation takes advantage of the simple box annotations, which has recently attracted a lot of research attentions. In this paper, we propose a ...

Small object detection is an important but challenge computer vision task in both natural scene and remote sensing scene. Due to the large difference of density, low contrast, sparse texture and arbitrary orientations, many advanced algorithms for ...

With the wide application of next-generation sequencing, an enormous amount of DNA and RNA-seq data are being generated for various species. However, the interpretation of gene function falls behind. Using yeast transcriptomic data across multiple ...

The Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) is a 14-15kDa intracellular protein which belong to large multigene family of intracellular lipid-binding proteins and play a important role in lipid uptake, transport lipid homeostasis. In this study, the rainbow ...

Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is a highly sensitive, repeatable and high throughput technique for quantifying gene expression from diverse experimental conditions; Reference genes (R-genes) are commonly used to normalise qRT-PCR results. However, ...

In targeted online advertising, advertisers look for maximizing campaign performance under delivery constraint within budget schedule. Most of the advertisers typically prefer to impose the delivery constraint to spend budget smoothly over the time in ...

In targeted display advertising, the goal is to identify the best opportunities to display a banner ad to an online user who is most likely to take a desired action such as purchasing a product or signing up for a newsletter. Finding the best ad ...

In this paper we provide both a qualitative and a quantitative evaluation of a decoupled multithreaded architecture that uses non-blocking threads. Our architecture is based on simple in-order pipelines and complete decoupling of memory accesses from ...

In conventional architectures, the central processing unit (CPU) spends a significant amount of execution time allocating and de-allocating memory. Efforts to improve memory management functions using custom allocators have led to only small ...

With the advances in very large scale integration (VLSI) technology, hundreds of billions of transistors can be packed into a single chip. With the increased hardware budget, how to take advantage of available hardware resources becomes an important ...

Modern programming languages often include complex mechanisms for dynamic memoryallocation and garbage collection. These features drive the need for more efficient implementation of memory management functions, both in terms of memory usage and ...

This paper shows that even very small data caches, when split to serve data streams exhibiting temporal and spatial localities, can improve performance of embedded applications without consuming excessive silicon real estate or power. It also shows that ...

In this paper we show that cache memories for embedded applications can be designed to increase performance while reduce area and energy consumed. Previously we have shown that separating data cache into an array cache and a scalar cache can lead to ...
