Compared with lock-based synchronization techniques, Software Transactional Memory (STM) can significantly improve the programmability of multithreaded applications. Existing res...
: We propose a new nonparametric family of oscillation heuristics for improving linear classifiers in the two-group discriminant problem. The heuristics are motivated by the intuit...
Background: Molecular evolutionary studies of noncoding sequences rely on multiple alignments. Yet how multiple alignment accuracy varies across sequence types, tree topologies, d...

Dynamic typing is a barrier for JavaScript applications to achieve high performance. Compared with statically typed languages, the major overhead of dynamic typing comes from runt...
Abstract. The heavy-tailed phenomenon that characterises the runtime distributions of backtrack search procedures has received considerable attention over the past few years. Some ...
