We present a formal analysis of the database layout problem, i.e., the problem of determining how database objects such as tables and indexes are assigned to disk drives. Optimizin...
Hiding communication latency is an important optimization for parallel programs. Programmers or compilers achieve this by using non-blocking communication primitives and overlappi...
Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) are two popular techniques commonly employed to save energy in real-time embedded systems. DVS policies aim at red...
Abstract. We show how computations such as those involved in American or European-style option price valuations with the explicit finite difference method can be performed in par...
