Pilot-job systems have emerged as a computation paradigm to cope with heterogeneity of production grids, greatly improving fault ratios and latency. Tools like DIANE, WISDOM-II, To...
In this paper, we design and implement an efficient technique for parallel evidence propagation on state-of-the-art multicore processor systems. Evidence propagation is a major ste...
The language modeling approach to retrieval has been shown to perform well empirically. One advantage of this new approach is its statistical foundations. However, feedback, as on...
Most operations of the relational algebra or SQL - like projection with duplicate elimination, join, ordering, group by and aggregations - are efficiently processed using a sorted...
Analysis of network and application pegormance is traditionally based on mathematical models derived from first principles. Such models are usually complex, diflcult to use, and d...
