Query processing for graph databases (Technion)
Graphics processing units (GPUs), originally designed for graphics rendering tasks, have evolved into massively multi-threaded, multicore processors for CPUs. The challenge is how to process queries on graph databases using single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) technology, in particular GPUs. ...

Recovering underwater scenes using polarization analysis (Technion)
Current methods for underwater imaging are distance dependent, have low contrast and color recovery, and have poor scene restructuring capabilities. Previous polarization related work is only capable for short distances. The presented method and device uses natural ambient light to provide better ...

Resistive GP-SIMD (Technion)
The interactions between multiple parallel processors incur performance and power overheads. These overheads are partly a result of data synchronization, entailing exchange between a sequential core and the other cores at the commencement and conclusion of a concurrent ...

Retired page utilization for improved write capacity of solid state drives (Technion)
NAND Flash is presently the most prominent solid-state memory technology. While SSD offer higher performance and other advantages over mechanical magnetic hard disk drives (HDD), their per-bit cost is much higher. Current methods to reduce cost however sharply degrade the tolerable number of ...

Robust silhouette tracking in video streams (Technion)
Video films in various applications can track non-rigid objects using camera’s visual trackers. Most trackers rely on a common model, which operates under limited conditions, and therefore fails to achieve the needed speed and robustness for flexible tracking. Thanks to an innovative approach, ...

Saving flash erase costs using write-once-memory codes (Technion)
Flash based solid state disks (SSD) are widely used due to their short read and write latencies and increasing throughput. However, once flash cells are written upon, they must be erased before they can be rewritten. These comparatively slow erasures, along with the additional overheads they ...

Self-coherent robust spectrally efficient optical transmission systems (Technion)
In the field of short-reach optical transmission links, there is a need for cost-effective and spectrally efficient links. Many options have been considered for this purpose. Using local oscillator lasers in the receiver provides the spectral efficiency but not the cost effectiveness. ...

Sound-based feature enhancement of surfaces (Technion)
The challenge of automatically generating caricatures occupied researchers since the 1980's. Once an algorithm was created which automatically generates caricatures from a given surface, using its intrinsic geometric values and is invariant to the surface, it becomes possible to align the ...

Spectral multidimensional scaling (Technion)
Multi-Dimensional Scaling aims to reduce the dimensionality of a data set by embedding it in a low dimensional flat space so that it is possible to compare, categorize, and correspond between isometric shapes. However, the computation of all the inter-distances is computationally demanding in ...

Spot On: Applied Mathematics in Proton Radiation Therapy (Carmel)
Researcher: Prof. Yair Censor Background Proton therapy is an advanced form of radiation therapy that uses protons instead of x-rays to destroy cancer cells. Protons can be accelerated to high speeds not far from the speed of light and deposit most of their energy just before they stop, for ...

Structured light generation and processing on a mobile device (Technion)
While projectors and cameras have each recently become available in mobile devices, no manufacturers have aligned their optical axes to synchronize them, leaving the users unable to take advantage of structured light projection and imaging. The proposed system and method are a novel solution to ...

Sub-Nyquist sampling of short pulses (Technion)
Current methods of pulse sampling are limited in their ability to sample efficiently when both the pulse shapes and their locations are unknown, treating the multi-pulse signals like any other time-limited signal, not taking sparseness into account, and collecting unnecessary samples. The ...

Supply chain simulator (Technion)
Management of supply chains is a major issue in operations, and teaching supply chain management and supporting decisions in this area is a real need for many businesses as well as academic institutions. However, no analytical model can express the true richness of any real world supply chain ...

System for improving host page-swapping use (Technion)
Host page-swapping is usually required when the virtual machine (VM) does not cooperate and is also used as a complementary method for other memory over-commitment mechanisms. However, this induces significant overheads for common workloads. In addition, other memory overcommitment solutions that ...
