Recent excitement in the database community surrounding new applications--analytic, scientific, graph, geospatial, etc.--has led to an explosion in research on database storage sy...
Heterogeneous multi-core processors, such as the IBM Cell processor, can deliver high performance. However, these processors are notoriously difficult to program: different cores...
— Many important applications are organized around long-lived, irregular sparse graphs (e.g., data and knowledge bases, CAD optimization, numerical problems, simulations). The gr...
