In the last several years, large OLAP databases have become common in a variety of applications such as corporate data warehouses and scientific computing. To support interactive ...
Numerical linear algebra operations are key primitives in scientific computing. Performance optimizations of such operations have been extensively investigated. With the rapid adva...
Many scientific, financial, data mining and sensor network applications need to work with continuous, rather than discrete data e.g., temperature as a function of location, or sto...
: Distributed top-k query processing is increasingly becoming an essential functionality in a large number of emerging application classes. This paper addresses the efficient alge...
Superscalar microprocessor efficiency is generally not as high as anticipated. In fact, sustained utilization below thirty percent of peak is not uncommon, even for fully optimized...
