Towards lightweight and high-performance hardware transactional memory
Conventional lock-based synchronization serializes accesses to critical sections guarded by the same lock. Using multiple locks brings the possibility of a deadlock or a livelock in the program, making parallel programming ...
Towards LoRa mesh networks for the IoT
There are several LPWAN radio technologies providing wireless communication to the billions of connected devices that form the so-called IoT. Among them, LoRa has emerged in recent years as a popular solution for low power ...
Towards more reliable feature evaluations for classification
In this thesis we study feature subset selection and feature weighting algorithms. Our aim is to make their output more stable and more useful when used to train a classifier. We begin by defining the concept of stability ...
Towards more sustainable food systems
Context: Globalization, increased competition for natural resources, the rise of non-financial performance indicators in decision making, among other new trends have made sustainability more and more relevant and linked ...
Towards multi enterprise-wide coordination for large-scale chemical supply chains
Current Supply chain (Se) decision support tools are devoted to the optimization of one objective function from a bias centralized perspective, without considering the coexistence with other participants and their uncertain ...
Towards multiprogrammed GPUs
