Distributed Packet Rewriting and its Application to Scalable Server Architectures
To construct high performance Web servers, system builders are increasingly turning to distributed designs. An important challenge that arises in such designs is the need to direc...

A modular approach to shared-memory consensus, with applications to the probabilistic-write model
We define two new classes of shared-memory objects: ratifiers, which detect agreement, and conciliators, which ensure agreement with some probability. We show that consensus can...

Path-wise estimators and cross-path regressions: an application to evaluating portfolio strategies
Recently developed dual techniques allow us to evaluate a given sub-optimal dynamic portfolio policy by using the policy to construct an upper bound on the optimal value function....

The Sinkhorn-Knopp Algorithm: Convergence and Applications
As long as a square nonnegative matrix A contains sufficient nonzero elements, then the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm can be used to balance the matrix, that is, to find a diagonal sc...

Multiscale Random Fields with Application to Contour Grouping
We introduce a new interpretation of multiscale random fields (MSRFs) that admits efficient optimization in the framework of regular (single level) random fields (RFs). It is base...
