Reducing Disk I/O Performance Sensitivity for Large Numbers of Sequential Streams
Retrieving sequential rich media content from modern commodity disks is a challenging task. As disk capacity increases, there is a need to increase the number of streams that are ...

Cheap or Flexible Sensor Coverage
We consider dual classes of geometric coverage problems, in which disks, corresponding to coverage regions of sensors, are used to cover a region or set of points in the plane. The...

A One-Pass Algorithm for Accurately Estimating Quantiles for Disk-Resident Data
The cpquantile of an ordered sequenceof data values is the element with rank ‘pn, where n is the total number of values. Accurate estimates of quantiles are required for the sol...

Experiments with a Parallel External Memory System
Abstract. The theory of bulk-synchronous parallel computing has produced a large number of attractive algorithms, which are provably optimal in some sense, but typically require th...
