Abstract—Computing maximum-likelihood bounds on the performance of systems involving partial response (PR) channels, with or without an error correcting code present, is rather c...
Garbled circuits play a key role in secure computation. Unlike previous work, which focused mainly on efficiency and automation aspects of secure computation, in this paper we foc...
The rise of ad-hoc data-intensive computing has led to the development of data-parallel programming systems such as Map/Reduce and Hadoop, which achieve scalability by tightly cou...
Seki is a situation of coexistence in the game of Go, where neither player can profitably capture the opponent’s stones. This paper presents a new method for deciding whether an...
New file systems are critical to obtain good I/O performance on large multiprocessors. Several researchers have suggested the use of collective file-system operations, in which ...
