Abstract: We present the design of the Virtual Microscope, a software system employing a client/server architecture to provide a realistic emulation of a high power light microscope We discuss several technical challenges related to providing the performance necessary to achieve rapid response time, mainly in dealing with the enormous amounts of data (tens to hundreds of gigabytes per slide) that must be retrieved from secondary storage and processed To effectively implement the data server, the system design relies on the computational power and high I/O throughput available from an appropriately configured parallel computer

Analysis of the clustering properties of the Hilbert space-filling curve
TL;DR: This work analyzes the clustering property of the Hilbert space-filling curve by deriving closed-form formulas for the number of clusters in a given query region of an arbitrary shape and shows that the Hilbert curve achieves better clustering than the z curve.
