Pireh Pirzada: Sensors in Smart Homes for independent living of elderly people

Title: Sensors in Smart Homes for independent living of elderly people Abstract: In the UK alone approximately about 3.64 million people aged 65 or above live on their own, and this number is rising. This increases concern of the safety and wellbeing of an ageing population, as growing old often results in reduced capabilities for Pireh Pirzada: Sensors in Smart Homes for independent living of elderly people

Dr. Vladimir Janjic – Efficient Dynamic Mapping of Parallel Applications to NUMA Architectures by Reinforcement Learning

Title: Efficient Dynamic Mapping of Parallel Applications to NUMA Architectures by Reinforcement Learning   Abstract: We present a dynamic framework for mapping threads and data of parallel applications to computational cores/memory nodes of parallel non-uniform memory architecture (NUMA) systems. We use a feedback-based mechanism where the performance of each thread is collected and used to Dr. Vladimir Janjic – Efficient Dynamic Mapping of Parallel Applications to NUMA Architectures by Reinforcement Learning
