Conventional video cameras have limited fields of view that make them restrictive in a
variety of vision applications. There are several ways to enhance the field of view of an …

Matlab is a matrix-processing language that offers very efficient built-in operations for data
organized in arrays. However Matlab operation is slow when the program accesses data …

The problem of modeling memory locality of applications to guide compiler optimizations in
a systematic manner is an important unsolved problem, made even more significant with the …

Empirical optimizers like ATLAS have been very effective in optimizing computational
kernels in libraries. The best choice of parameters such as tile size and degree of loop …

MatLab® has often been considered an excellent environment for fast algorithm
development but is generally perceived as slow and hence not fit for routine medical image …

Dynamic array-based languages such as MATLAB provide a wide range of built-in
operations which can be efficiently applied to all elements of an array. Historically, MATLAB …

While the popularity of using high-level programming languages such as MATLAB for
scientific and engineering applications continues to grow, its poor performance compared to …

Inferring variable types precisely is very important to be able to compile MATLAB libraries
effectively in the context of the telescoping languages framework being developed at Rice …

This dissertation designs and implements a prototype MATLAB compiler for Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) libraries, based on a novel approach called telescoping languages for …

While the popularity of MATLAB for scientific and engineering applications is unabated, its
poor performance compared to traditional languages, such as Fortran or even C, for a …
