Bulk loading refers to the process of creating an index from scratch for a given data set. This problem is well understood for B-trees, but so far, non-traditional index structure...
Symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) connected with low-latency networks provide attractive building blocks for software distributed shared memory systems. Two distinct approaches hav...
Performance tuning is an important and time consuming task which may have to be repeated for each new application and platform. Although iterative optimisation can automate this p...
— The paper addresses the problem of performance optimization for a set of periodic tasks with discrete voltage/frequency states under thermal constraints. We prove that the prob...
Element constructor is one of most expensive operations of the XQuery language as it requires deep copy of the nodes which make up the content of the constructed element. In this ...
