Sengupta, Souvik (Date of defense: 2020-10-20)
Technology in the twenty-first century is rapidly developing and driving us into a new smart computing world, and emerging lots of new computing architectures. Fog-to-Cloud (F2C) is among one of them, which emerges to ...
Rejiba, Zeineb (Date of defense: 2020-09-10)
The recent development of delay-sensitive applications has led to the emergence of the fog computing paradigm. Within this paradigm, computation nodes present at the edge of the network can act as fog nodes (FNs) capable ...
Ramón-Cortés Vilarrodona, Cristián (Date of defense: 2020-09-21)
Data Science workflows have become a must to progress in many scientific areas such as life, health, and earth sciences. In contrast to traditional HPC workflows, they are more heterogeneous; combining binary executions, ...
Suárez-Varela Macià, José Rafael (Date of defense: 2020-06-26)
Significant breakthroughs in the last decade in the Machine Learning (ML) field have ushered in a new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Particularly, recent advances in Deep Learning (DL) have enabled to develop a new ...
Anglada Sánchez, Martí (Date of defense: 2020-06-09)
The computation capabilities of mobile GPUs have greatly evolved in the last generations, allowing real-time rendering of realistic scenes. However, the desire for processing complex environments clashes with the ...
Naro, Daniel (Date of defense: 2020-05-15)
There are new mechanisms to sequence and process the genomic code, discovering thus diagnostic tools and treatments. The file for a sequenced genome can reach hundreds of gigabytes. Thus, for further studies, we need new ...
Garrido Platero, Luis Angel (Date of defense: 2019-11-26)
Cloud infrastructures have become indispensable in our daily lives with the rise of cloud-based services offered by companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon and many others. These cloud infrastructures use a large numbers ...
Capdevila Pujol, Joan (Date of defense: 2019-09-26)
Recent technological advances have radically changed the way we communicate. Today’s communication has become ubiquitous and it has fostered the need for information that is easier to create, spread and consume. As a ...
Mutlu, Burcu O. (Date of defense: 2019-11-12)
Soft errors caused by transient bit flips have the potential to significantly impactan applicalion's behavior. This has motivated the design of an array of techniques to detect, isolate, and correct soft errors using ...
Sembroiz Ausejo, David (Date of defense: 2020-03-06)
During many years, people and governments have been warned about the increasing levels of pollution and greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions that are endangering our lives on this planet. The Information and Communication ...
Milutinovic, Suzana (Date of defense: 2019-12-18)
Over the last years, we are witnessing the steady and rapid growth of Critica! Real-Time Embedded Systems (CRTES) industries, such as automotive and aerospace. Many of the increasingly-complex CRTES' functionalities that ...
Marrón Vida, Diego (Date of defense: 2019-12-19)
High-throughput real-time Big Data stream processing requires fast incremental algorithms that keep models consistent with most recent data. In this scenario, Hoeffding Trees are considered the state-of-the-art single ...
Cadenelli, Luca (Date of defense: 2019-12-19)
Since the last decade, the main components of computer systems have been evolving, diversifying, to overcome their physical limits and to minimize their energy footprint. Hardware specialization and heterogeneity have ...
