With the development of Internet and cloud computing, multimedia data, such as images and videos, has become one of the most common data types being processed. As the scale of multimedia data being still increasing, it is vitally important to efficiently extract useful information from such a huge amount of multimedia data. However, due to the complexity of the core algorithms, multimedia retrieval applications are not only data intensive but also computationally intensive. Therefore, it has been a major challenge to accelerate the processing speed of such applications to satisfy the real-time requirement.
