Many practitioners who use EM and related algorithms complain that they are sometimes slow. When does this happen, and what can be done about it? In this paper, we study the gener...

We consider some issues in optimizing persistent programming languages. In particular, we show how to express optimizations of object residency checks in strongly typed persistent...
Recent work has shown that one can learn the structure of Gaussian Graphical Models by imposing an L1 penalty on the precision matrix, and then using efficient convex optimization...
—With increasing numbers of cores, future CMPs (Chip Multi-Processors) are likely to have a tiled architecture with a portion of shared L2 cache on each tile and a bankinterleave...
Cache misses form a major bottleneck for memory-intensive applications, due to the significant latency of main memory accesses. Loop tiling, in conjunction with other program tran...
