Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
We show how to build hierarchical, reduced-rank representation for large stochastic matrices and use this representation to design an efficient algorithm for computing the largest...
Vertical partitioning is a well-known technique for optimizing query performance in relational databases. An extreme form of this technique, which we call vectorization, is to sto...

: A novel broadcast technique for wormhole-routed mesh and torus parallel computers based on recursion is presented in this paper. It works by partitioning the graph into several s...
Geometric constraint solving is a key issue in CAD/CAM. Since Owen’s seminal paper, solvers typically use graph based decomposition methods. However, these methods become diffi...
