— Scientific applications often perform complex computational analyses that consume and produce large data sets. We are concerned with data placement policies that distribute dat...

Value prediction is a technique that breaks true data dependences by predicting the outcome of an instruction, and executes speculatively its data-dependent instructions based on ...
We build on PTIDES, a programming model for distributed embedded systems that uses discrete-event (DE) models as program specifications. PTIDES improves on distributed DE executi...
We introduce a stochastic model to characterize the online computational process of an object recognition system based on a hierarchy of classifiers. The model is a graphical netwo...
Existing DHT-based file systems use consistent hashing to assign file blocks to random machines. As a result, a user task accessing an entire file or multiple files needs to r...
