Accelerating pagerank with a heterogeneous two phase CPU-FPGA algorithm
(Bilkent University, 2020-12)PageRank is a network analysis algorithm that is used to measure the importance of each vertex in a graph. Fundamentally it is a Sparse Matrix-Vector multiplication problem and suffers from the same bottlenecks, such as ... -
Accelerator design for graph analytics
(Bilkent University, 2016-06)With the increase in data available online, data analysis became a significant problem in today’s datacenters. Moreover, graph analytics is one of the significant application domains in big data era. However, traditional ... -
Active learning methods based on statistical leverage scores
(Bilkent University, 2016-08)In many real-world machine learning applications, unlabeled data are abundant whereas the class labels are expensive and/or scarce. An active learner aims to obtain a model with high accuracy with as few labeled instances ... -
Active node determination for correlated data gathering in wireless sensor networks
(Bilkent University, 2009)In wireless sensor network applications where data gathered by different sensor nodes is correlated, not all sensor nodes need to be active for the wireless sensor network to be functional. However, the sensor nodes that ... -
Active set partitioning scheme for extending the lifetime of large wireless sensor networks
(Bilkent University, 2010)Wireless Sensor Networks consist of spatially distributed and energy-constrained autonomous devices called sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions such as temperature, sound, vibration, ... -
Activity analysis for assistive systems
(Bilkent University, 2014)Although understanding and analyzing human actions is a popular research topic in computer vision, most of the research has focused on recognizing ”ordinary” actions, such as walking and jumping. Extending these methods ... -
An actuated flexible spinal mechanism for a bounding quadrupedal robot
(Bilkent University, 2012)Evolution and experience based learning have given animals body structures and motion capabilities to survive in the nature by achieving many complicated tasks. Among these animals, legged vertebrates use their musculoskeletal ... -
Adaptation of multiway-merge sorting algorithm to MIMD architectures with an experimental study
(Bilkent University, 2002)Sorting is perhaps one of the most widely studied problems of computing. Numerous asymptotically optimal sequential algorithms have been discovered. Asymptotically optimal algorithms have been presented for varying ... -
Adaptive source routing and route generation for multicomputers
(Bilkent University, 1995)Scalable multicomputers are based upon interconnection networks that typically provide multiple communication routes between any given pair of processor nodes. In such networks, the selection of the routes is an important ... -
Adaptive thread and memory access schelduling in chip multiprocessors
(Bilkent University, 2013)The full potential of chip multiprocessors remains unexploited due to architecture oblivious thread schedulers used in operating systems, and thread-oblivious memory access schedulers used in off-chip main memory ... -
