An Index Implementation Supporting Fast Recovery for the POSTGRES Storage System
This paper presents two algorithms for maintaining Btree index consistency in a DBMS which does not use write-ahead logging (WAL). One algorithm is similar to shadow paging, but i...

Global visibility algorithms for illumination computations
The most expensive geometric operation in image synthesis is visibility determination. Classically this is solved with hidden surface removal algorithms that render only the parts...

Adaptive display algorithm for interactive frame rates during visualization of complex virtual environments
We describe an adaptive display algorithm for interactive frame rates during visualization of very complex virtual environments. The algorithm relies upon a hierarchical model rep...

Constraint-Based Type Inference and Parametric Polymorphism
Constraint-based analysis is a technique for inferring implementation types. Traditionally it has been described using mathematical formalisms. We explain it in a different and mor...

Parallel Computation of the Eigenstructure of Toeplitz-plus-Hankel Matrices on Multicomputers
In this paper we present four parallel algorithms to compute any group of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a Toeplitz-plus-Hankel matrix. These algorithms parallelize a method that...

Linear Constraint Query Languages: Expressive Power and Complexity
We give an AC0 upper bound on the complexity of rst-oder queries over (in nite) databases de ned by restricted linear constraints. This result enables us to deduce the non-expressi...

Comparing the Power of Monadic NP Games
The descriptive complexity of a problem is the complexity of describing the problem in some logical formalism. One of the few techniques for proving separation results in descripti...
