In database query processing, actual run-time conditions (e.g., actual selectivities and actual available memory) very often differ from compile-time expectations of run-time cond...
Multi-core processors are planned for virtually all next-generation HPC systems. In a preliminary evaluation of AMD Opteron Dual-Core processor systems, we investigated the scaling...

We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering followed by parallelization. We focus on the parallelization phase a...
As users interact with an increasing array of personal computing devices, maintaining consistency of data across those devices becomes significantly more difficult. Typical soluti...
