Parallel computing is becoming increasing central and mainstream, driven both by the widespread availability of commodity SMP and high-performance cluster platforms, as well as th...
Configurable Computing Machines (CCMs) are an emerging class of computing platform which provide the computational performance benefits of ASICs, yet retain the flexibility and ra...
Next generation computer systems will have gigabytes of physical memory and processors in the 200 MIPS range or higher. While this trend suggests that memory management for most p...
We present an approach to dealing with skew in parallel joins in database systems. Our approach is easily implementable within current parallel DBMS, and performs well on skewed d...
