Automated SQL tuning through trial and (sometimes) error
SQL tuning--the attempt to improve a poorly-performing execution plan produced by the database query optimizer-is a critical aspect of database performance tuning. Ironically, as ...

Hybrid dynamic data race detection
We present a new method for dynamically detecting potential data races in multithreaded programs. Our method improves on the state of the art in accuracy, in usability, and in ove...

Locality approximation using time
Reuse distance (i.e. LRU stack distance) precisely characterizes program locality and has been a basic tool for memory system research since the 1970s. However, the high cost of m...

A GIS-like training algorithm for log-linear models with hidden variables
Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) are often estimated using an entropy based criterion in combination with Generalized Iterative Scaling (GIS). GIS offers, upon others, the immedi...
