: As data and services are increasingly distributed in the network, rather than stored in a fixed location, one can imagine a scenario in which the Personal Computer, intended as a...
In order to reduce the overhead of synchronizing operations of shared memory multiprocessors, this paper proposes a mechanism, named specMEM, to execute memory accesses following ...
Positional ranking functions, widely used in web search engines, improve result quality by exploiting the positions of the query terms within documents. However, it is well known ...
A significant Fourier transform (SFT) algorithm, given a threshold and oracle access to a function f, outputs (the frequencies and approximate values of) all the -significant Fou...
We describe a simple randomized construction for generating pairs of hash functions h1, h2 from a universe U to ranges V = [m] = {0, 1, . . . , m - 1} and W = [m] so that for ever...
