The anatomical connectivity of the human cerebral cortex resembles a "small-world" architecture, which is characterized by the coexistence of structurally segregated and integrative connectivity patterns. However, organizational differences in networks among individuals remain largely unknown. Here, we utilize diffusion tensor imaging tractography and graph-theoretical approaches to investigate...

Partitioning, in general, has become the basic strategy for organizing data files to avoid an exhaustive search when executing queries. However, hardware limitations that constrain the performance of query execution mainly become a problem for partial-match queries, where the size of the result can equal the size of the data file. In such situations, a proper application of parallelism can brin...

Two trends call into question the current practice of microprocessors and DRAMs being fabricated as different chips on different fab lines: 1) the gap between processor and DRAM speed is growing at 50% per year; and 2) the size and organization of memory on a single DRAM chip is becoming awkward to use in a system, yet size is growing at 60% per year. Intelligent RAM, or IRAM, merges processing...
