We assert that in order to perform well, a shared-memory multiprocessorinter-process communication (IPC)facility mustavoid a) accessing any shared data, and b) acquiring any locks...
Audio search plays an important role in analyzing audio data and retrieving useful audio information. In this paper, a Partially Overlapping Block-Parallel Active Search method (P...
Query scheduling plays an important role when systems are faced with limited resources and high workloads. It becomes even more relevant for servers applying multiple query optimi...
Both inherently sequential code and limitations of analysis techniques prevent full parallelization of many applications by parallelizing compilers. Amdahl's Law tells us tha...
