Pipelining has been used in the design of many PRAM algorithms to reduce their asymptotic running time. Paul, Vishkin, and Wagener (PVW) used the approach in a parallel implementat...
: Optimizers in modern DBMSs utilize a cost model to choose an efficient query execution plan (QEP) among all possible ones for a given query. The accuracy of the cost estimates de...

Disseminating a piece of information, or updates for a piece of information, has been shown to benefit greatly from simple randomized procedures, sometimes referred to as gossipi...

The asymptotic distribution of estimates that are based on a sub-optimal search for the maximum of the log-likelihood function is considered. In particular, estimation schemes that...
Program runtime characteristics exhibit significant variation. As microprocessor architectures become more complex, their efficiency depends on the capability of adapting with wor...
