A Black-Box Approach to Query Cardinality Estimation
We present a “black-box” approach to estimating query cardinality that has no knowledge of query execution plans and data distribution, yet provides accurate estimates. It doe...

An Optimizing Compiler for Automatic Shader Bounding
Programmable shading provides artistic control over materials and geometry, but the black box nature of shaders makes some rendering optimizations difficult to apply. In many case...

Stochastic local search in continuous domains: questions to be answered when designing a novel algorithm
Several population-based methods (with origins in the world of evolutionary strategies and estimation-of-distribution algorithms) for black-box optimization in continuous domains ...

Optimizing polynomials for floating-point implementation
The floating-point implementation of a function often reduces to a polynomial approximation on an interval. Remez algorithm provides the polynomial closest to the function, but th...
