To maintain consistency, designers of replicated services have traditionally been forced to choose from either strong consistency guarantees or none at all. Realizing that a conti...
Shared memory is an appealing abstraction for parallel programming. It must be implemented with caches in order toperform well, however, and caches require a coherence mechanism t...
Good public-key infrastructures (PKIs) are essential to make electronic commerce secure. Quite recently, certificate verification trees (CVTs) have been introduced as a tool for im...
For applications with consecutive incoming training examples, on-line learning has the potential to achieve a likelihood as high as off-line learning without scanning all availabl...
We show how variational Bayesian inference can be implemented for very large generalized linear models. Our relaxation is proven to be a convex problem for any log-concave model. ...
