The sequence-pair was proposed in 1994 as a representation of the packing of rectangles of general structure. Since then, there have been eorts to expand its applicability over s...
A central problem in executing performance critical parallel and distributed applications on shared networks is the selection of computation nodes and communication paths for exec...
In this paper, we introduce self-tuning histograms. Although similar in structure to traditional histograms, these histograms infer data distributions not by examining the data or...
A structured approach to parallel programming allows to construct applications by composing skeletons, i.e., recurring patterns of task- and data-parallelism. First academic and co...
The backup of large data sets is preferably performed automatically outside of regular working hours. In highly structured computer networks, however, faults and exceptions may rel...
