This paper presents PipesFS, an I/O architecture for Linux 2.6 that increases I/O throughput and adds support for heterogeneous parallel processors by (1) collapsing many I/O inte...
We present an AC1 (logDCFL) algorithm for checking LTL formulas over finite paths, thus establishing that the problem can be efficiently parallelized. Our construction provides a f...
We study complexity and approximation of queries in an expressive query language for probabilistic databases. The language studied supports the compositional use of confidence com...
Belief propagation is a popular global optimization technique for many computer vision problems. However, it requires extensive computation due to the iterative message passing op...
Amtoft has formulated an "on-line" constraint normalization method for solving a strictness inference problem inspired by Wright. From the syntactic form of the normaliz...
