DeViouS: A Distributed Environment for Computer Vision

Computer vision, owing to the size and complexity of its tasks and its importance to industrial and economic growth, was selected as one of the grand challenge problems by the U.S. Federal High Performance Computing Program. Integration of vision operations is identified as a key element of the challenge. A system to integrate computer vision in a distributed environment is presented here. This...

DeViouS: A Distributed Environment for Vision Tasks

We present a system for the integration of computer vision tasks in a distributed environment. This system, called DeViouS, is based on the client/server model and runs in a heterogeneous environment of Unix workstations. It takes advantage of the free cycles in modern workstation environments to distribute and speed up the execution of vision tasks. Two primary goals of DeViouS are to provide ...

Slow Beatty Sequences, Devious Convergence, and Partitional Divergence

Sequences ( nr ) for 0 < r < 1 are introduced as slow Beatty sequences. They and ordinary Beatty sequences (for which r > 1) provide examples of sequences that converge deviously (which at first might seem to diverge), as well as partitionally divergent sequences (which consist of convergent subsequences).

From theory to the bedside of the patient: it’s a long and devious way to go

Perioperative adverse cardiovascular events (PACE), although infrequent, are responsible for about 60 % of mortality after non-cardiac surgery [1]. Most PACE-related deaths are related to cardiovascular complications as myocardial ischaemia, infarction, rhythm disturbances and stroke [2, 3]. Despite technical improvements and increased monitoring in recent years, the rates of PACE remain stable...
