Hardness amplification is the fundamental task of converting a -hard function f : {0, 1}n {0, 1} into a (1/2 - )-hard function Amp(f), where f is -hard if small circuits fail to c...

In the first part of the paper, we reexamine the all-pairs shortest paths (APSP) problem and present a new algorithm with running time O(n3 log3 log n/ log2 n), which improves all...

Synchronization is often necessary in parallel computing, but it can create delays whenever the receiving processor is idle, waiting for the information to arrive. This is especia...
