New single-machine environments are emerging from abundant computation available through multiple cores and secure virtualization. In this paper, we describe the research challeng...
We study the problem of scheduling independent tasks on a set of related processors which have a probability of failure governed by an exponential law. We are interested in the bi-...
We augment a model of translation based on re-ordering nodes in syntactic trees in order to allow alignments not conforming to the original tree structure, while keeping computati...
The perception of feeling cared for has beneficial consequences in education, psychotherapy, and medicine. Results from a longitudinal study of simulated caring by a computer are ...
This paper describes extensions to OpenMP that implement data placement features needed for NUMA architectures. OpenMP is a collection of compiler directives and library routines ...
