Trace-Based Parallel Performance Overhead Compensation
Abstract. Tracing parallel programs to observe their performance introduces intrusion as the result of trace measurement overhead. If post-mortem trace analysis does not compensate...

A Randomized Cutting Plane Method with Probabilistic Geometric Convergence
Abstract. We propose a randomized method for general convex optimization problems; namely, the minimization of a linear function over a convex body. The idea is to generate N rando...
