Much research has been done in fast communication on clusters and in protocols for supporting software shared memory across them. However, the end performance of applications that...
Streamlining communication is key to achieving good performance in shared-memory parallel programs. While full hardware support for cache coherence generally offers the best perfo...
A research prototype is presented for semantic indexing and retrieval in Information Retrieval. The prototype is motivated by a desire to provide a more efficient and effective in...
We present results related to satisfying shortest path queries on a planar graph stored in external memory. Let N denote the number of vertices in the graph and let sort(N) denote...
This paper shows the suitability of a "self-maintaining" approach to Tertiary Disk, a large-scale disk array system built from commodity components. Instead of incurring...
