Edge contraction is shown to be a useful mechanism to improve lower bound heuristics for treewidth. A successful lower bound for treewidth is the degeneracy: the maximum over all ...

While commodity computing and graphics hardware has increased in capacity and dropped in cost, it is still quite difficult to make effective use of such systems for general-purpos...

For any q > 1, let MODq be a quantum gate that determines if the number of 1’s in the input is divisible by q. We show that for any q, t > 1, MODq is equivalent to MODt (u...
In this paper we describe a new technique, called pipeline spectroscopy, and use it to measure the cost of each cache miss. The cost of a miss is displayed (graphed) as a histogra...

Abstract. We propose new, tractably (in some cases provably) efficient algorithmic methods for exact (sound and complete) parameterized reasoning about cache coherence protocols. F...
