    The increasing demand for high-quality graphics requires a significant increase in computational power of modern GPUs. The common approach to follow is augmenting the number of compute units (i.e., shader cores). However, ...
  • Bias reduction via cooperative bargaining in synthetic graph dataset generation 

    Wassington, Axel; Abadal Cavallé, Sergi (2025)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In general, to draw robust conclusions from a dataset, all the analyzed population must be represented on said dataset. Having a dataset that does not fulfill this condition normally leads to selection bias. This problem ...
  • A MAC protocol with time reversal for wireless networks within computing packages 

    Bandara, Peramuna Hettiarachchige p Ama; Das, Abhijit; Rodríguez Galán, Fátima Yolanda; Alarcón Cot, Eduardo José; Abadal Cavallé, Sergi (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Wireless Network-on-Chip (WNoC) is a promising concept which provides a solution to overcome the scalability issues in prevailing networks-in-package for many-core processors. However, the electromagnetic propagation inside ...
