Abstract. We describe and evaluate the Running Time Advisor (RTA), a system that can predict the running time of a compute-bound task on a typical shared, unreserved commodity host...
We develop an algorithm for estimating the values of a vector x Rn over a support S of size k from a randomized sparse binary linear sketch Ax of size O(k). Given Ax and S, we ca...
This paper presents scheduling algorithms for procrastinators, where the speed that a procrastinator executes a job increases as the due date approaches. We give optimal off-line ...
Energy conservation is an important issue in the design of embedded systems. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) are two widely used techniques for sav...
It is well-known that the time and memory necessary to create a codebook from large training databases have hindered the vector quantization based systems for real applications. T...
