We present a formal analysis of the database layout problem, i.e., the problem of determining how database objects such as tables and indexes are assigned to disk drives. Optimizin...
In this paper, we use the tensor product notation as the framework of a programming methodology for designing block recursive algorithms on various computer networks. In our previ...
Time-oriented progress estimation for parallel queries is a challenging problem that has received only limited attention. In this paper, we present ParaTimer, a new type of timere...
The use of sub-optimal digital systems can at times lead to high speed, efficient, costeffective structures that are sufficient to perform needed tasks. We describe here a system ...
Many parallel applications from scientific computing use MPI collective communication operations to collect or distribute data. Since the execution times of these communication op...
