Emergence of drug resistance is a major problem in the treatment of many diseases including tuberculosis. To tackle the problem, it is essential to obtain a global perspective of the molecular mechanisms by which bacteria ...

Cache replacement policies can play a pivotal role in the overall performance of a system by preserving data locality and thus limiting the o -chip accesses. In a shared memory system, a cache coherence protocol is necessary ...

Power losses are always a cause of worry for any power grid. In India, the situation is even worse. Though recent reports by Ministry of Power shows that Aggregate Technical and Commercial losses (AT &C losses) have come ...

Cluster computer systems assembled from commodity off-the-shelf components have emerged as a viable and cost-effective alternative to high-end custom parallel computer systems.In this thesis, we investigate how scalable ...

In recent years there has been an exponential growth in Internet traffic resulting in increased network bandwidth requirements which, in turn, has led to stringent processing requirements on network layer devices like ...

Bandwidth and resource constraints at the server side is a limitation for deployment of streaming media applications. Resource constraints at the server side often leads to saturation of resources during sudden increase ...

Today’s feature-rich multimedia products require embedded system solution with complex System-on-Chip (SoC) to meet market expectations of high performance at low cost and lower energy consumption. SoCs are complex designs ...

Modern database systems use a query optimizer to identify the most efficient strategy, called "plan", to execute declarative SQL queries. Optimization is a mandatory exercise since the difference between the cost of best ...

Phylogenetics is the study of evolution of organisms. Evolution occurs due to mutations of DNA sequences. The reasons behind these seemingly random mutations are largely unknown. There are many algorithms that build ...
