You've got an algorithm written in C. You can quickly see how that will run on a standard processor core, but you'd be amazed how much faster that algorithm can run on a specially tailored processor. A simple example is an audio stream. If the datapath of a processor is specially tailored just for audio ...

... Cambridge University has developed 3D scanning software that uses a standard web camera. The software can reproduce a 3D ... a real object, this is done by holding the object in front of a standard webcam and then rotating it, the computer then calculates the information ... motion estimation which is then carved using a recursive and probabilistic algorithm to rapidly obtain the surface mesh. Check ...

... all pages for fast loading pages, but Google seems to think it can help squeeze out every possible ounce of speed. To enable gzip compression (for html, css, and js files) on a standard Apache webserver (which is what we use) you would add this one line to your .htaccess file: AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/x-js text/css Minimize DNS lookups Unless you have to ...

... "The European and Framingham guidelines were particularly likely to miss younger and/or female patients with hardening of the arteries, Dr Guaraldi said. "Guaraldi said: 'At present we have to stratify patients according to the Framingham algorithm, but this is not validated in HIV patients and may underestimate disease.'"

... for music sitting on your hard drive. And if you can’t think of what you want to listen to, check out the playlists that others have created and made public. MOG ranks them using an algorithm to push the most popular and most played lists to the top. Or find other users who you share music tastes with and follow them. You’ll see what they’re listening to. MOG Radio: This is ...

... of the proposal distribution is crucial for the rapid convergence of the Metropolis algorithm. In this paper, given a family of parametric Markovian kernels, we develop ... adapting once approximate convergence has been reached and consider the earlier iterations as burn-in. Given what is standard practice here anyway, I don't think we're really losing anything in efficiency by doing things ...

... . The libraries used by ColdFusion (Sun JCE) are pretty standard. So for the most part, compatibility should not be issue. But it got me to thinking about some of the common pitfalls when ... /ECB/PKCS5Padding are equivalent. To specify a different mode or padding just change the algorithm value. Now chances are the external tool you are working with probably does not use exactly the same defaults as ...
