In POPL 2002, Petrank and Rawitz showed a universal result-finding optimal data placement is not only NP-hard but also impossible to approximate within a constant factor if P = NP...
In this paper we propose a novel software-only distributed sharedmemory system (SW-DSM), the Affinity Entry Consistency (AEC) protocol. The protocol is based on Entry Consistency ...
Recent years have witnessed significant advances in 3D brush modeling and simulation in digital paint tools. Compared with traditional 2D brushes, a 3D brush can be both more intu...

It is widely accepted that transient failures will appear more frequently in chips designed in the near future due to several factors such as the increased integration scale. On t...
Many scientific applications generate massive volumes of data through observations or computer simulations, bringing up the need for effective indexing methods for efficient stora...
