The Cost of Concurrent, Low-Contention Read-Modify-Write
In this work, we embark on a study of the possibility (or impossibility), and the corresponding costs, of devising concurrent, low-contention implementations of atomic Read-Modify...

Lower Bounds on Near Neighbor Search via Metric Expansion
In this paper we show how the complexity of performing nearest neighbor (NNS) search on a metric space is related to the expansion of the metric space. Given a metric space we loo...
