We present a family of methods for speeding up distributed locks by exploiting the uneven distribution of both temporal and spatial locality of access behaviour of many applicatio...
Hierarchical matrices (H-matrices) approximate matrices in a data-sparse way, and the approximate arithmetic for H-matrices is almost optimal. In this paper we present an algebrai...
Software engineering is foremost an engineering discipline. Engineering in general and software engineering specifically has to balance many factors to achieve viable tradeoffs?an ...
Abstract--Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes are usually decoded by running an iterative belief-propagation algorithm over the factor graph of the code. In the traditional messa...
These notes cover several topics such as Predicting Asset Returns, Linear Factor Model, Linear Factor Models in SDF Form, Consumption-Based Asset Pricing, Riskneutral Distributions...
