Bounded approximate decentralised coordination via the max-sum algorithm
In this paper we propose a novel approach to decentralised coordination, that is able to efficiently compute solutions with a guaranteed approximation ratio. Our approach is base...

Overlapping dependent loads with addressless preload
Modern out-of-order processors with non-blocking caches exploit Memory-Level Parallelism (MLP) by overlapping cache misses in a wide instruction window. The exploitation of MLP, h...

Parallel Rate-distortion Optimized Intra Mode Decision On Multi-core Graphics Processors Using Greedy-based Encoding Orders
Rate-distortion (RD) optimized intra-prediction mode selection can lead to significant improvement in coding efficiency in intraframe encoding. However, it would incur considerabl...

Approximating predicates and expressive queries on probabilistic databases
We study complexity and approximation of queries in an expressive query language for probabilistic databases. The language studied supports the compositional use of confidence com...

Deconstructing approximate offsets
We consider the offset-deconstruction problem: Given a polygonal shape Q with n vertices, can it be expressed, up to a tolerance ε in Hausdorff distance, as the Minkowski sum o...
