This paper reports the results of SIMD implementation of a number of interpolation algorithms on common personal computers. These methods fit a curve on some given input points for...
An important class of queries is the LIKE predicate in SQL. In the absence of an index, LIKE queries are subject to performance degradation. The notion of indexing on substrings (...
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
Data grids, large scale web applications generating dynamic content and database service providing pose significant scalability challenges to database engines. Replication is the ...
An exposed approach in computer service architecture is one that offers client software a primitive service whose semantics are closely based on the underlying physical infrastruc...
