Growth in the complexity of computing systems, in the dynamism of the environments they operate in, and the need for timely adaptations as conditions change, now pose significant...
In this paper we explore database segmentation in the context of a column-store DBMS targeted at a scientific database. We present a novel hardware- and scheme-oblivious segmentati...
We introduce a general and in a certain sense time-optimal way of solving one problem after another, efficiently searching the space of programs that compute solution candidates, i...
Abstract- Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have the tendency to converge quickly into a single solution in the search space. However, many complex search problems require the identi...
Despite the large research efforts in the SW–DSM community, this technology has not yet been adapted widely for significant codes beyond benchmark suites. One of the reasons co...
