The Delicate Tradeoffs in BitTorrent-like File Sharing Protocol Design
— The BitTorrent (BT) file sharing protocol is popular due to its scalability property and the incentive mechanism to reduce free-riding. However, in designing such P2P file sh...

Optimizing memory transactions
Atomic blocks allow programmers to delimit sections of code as ‘atomic’, leaving the language’s implementation to enforce atomicity. Existing work has shown how to implement...

Object Segmentation Using Graph Cuts Based Active Contours
In this paper we present a graph cuts based active contours (GCBAC) approach to object segmentation problems. Our method is a combination of active contours and the optimization t...

Meta optimization: improving compiler heuristics with machine learning
Compiler writers have crafted many heuristics over the years to approximately solve NP-hard problems efficiently. Finding a heuristic that performs well on a broad range of applic...
