We provide sufficient conditions that formally guarantee that the floating-point computation of a polynomial evaluation is faithful. To this end, we develop a formalization of ï¬...
In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the amount of available computing and storage resources. Yet few have been able to exploit these resources in an aggregated ...

XOR-based erasure codes are a computationallyefficient means of generating redundancy in storage systems. Some such erasure codes provide irregular fault tolerance: some subsets o...
Portable systems such as cell phones and portable media players commonly use non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) to hold all of their data and metadata, and larger systems can store metadata...
Building open distributed systems is an even more challenging task than building distributed systems, as their components are loosely synchronised, can move, become disconnected, ...
