Any proof of P = NP will have to overcome two barriers: relativization and natural proofs. Yet over the last decade, we have seen circuit lower bounds (for example, that PP does n...
As desktop computer computational power continues to increases dramatically, it is becoming commonplace to run a combination of deadline-sensitive applications. Despite the prolif...
This paper investigates the role of online resources in problem solving. We look specifically at how programmers--an exemplar form of knowledge workers--opportunistically interlea...

Chip multiprocessors with multiple simpler cores are gaining popularity because they have the potential to drive future performance gains without exacerbating the problems of powe...

Abstract. Real multiprocessors do not provide the sequentially consistent memory that is assumed by most work on semantics and verification. Instead, they have relaxed memory mode...
