The state of the art commercial query optimizers employ cost-based optimization and exploit dynamic programming (DP) to find the optimal query execution plan (QEP) without evalua...
The polyhedral model provides powerful abstractions to optimize loop nests with regular accesses. Affine transformations in this model capture a complex sequence of execution-reord...
Recently, skyline queries have attracted much attention in the database research community. Space partitioning techniques, such as recursive division of the data space, have been ...
Parallel developments are becoming increasingly prevalent in the building and evolution of large-scale software systems. Our previous studies of a large industrial project showed ...
Space filling curves (SFCs) are widely used for parallel domain decomposition in scientific computing applications. The proximity preserving properties of SFCs are expected to k...
