This paper presents a fundamental law for parallel performance: it shows that parallel performance is not only limited by sequential code (as suggested by Amdahl’s law) but is a...
Programmers rely on the correctness of the tools in their programming environments. In the past, semanticists have studied the correctness of compilers and compiler analyses, which...
A linear wirelength objective more e ectively captures timing, congestion, and other global placement considerations than a squared wirelength objective. The GORDIAN-L cell placem...

I argue against trying to solve the problem of clustering objects into disk pages. Instead, I propose that objects be fetched in groups that may be specific to an application or ...
Spatial join is an important yet costly operation in spatial databases. In order to speed up the execution of a spatial join, the input tables are often indexed based on their spa...
