Performance Evaluation of Router Switching Fabrics
Switching fabrics with distributed control for scalable routers have been proposed recently [7]. Such a fabric consists of small routing units (RU’s) interconnected by multistag...

Low-Overhead Protocols for Fault-Tolerant File Sharing
In this paper, we quantify the adverse effect of file sharing on the performance of reliable distributed applications. We demonstrate that file sharing incurs significant overhead...

Signal-to-Noise Ratio Analysis of Policy Gradient Algorithms
Policy gradient (PG) reinforcement learning algorithms have strong (local) convergence guarantees, but their learning performance is typically limited by a large variance in the e...

Fast space-variant elliptical filtering using box splines
The efficient realization of linear space-variant (non-convolution) filters is a challenging computational problem in image processing. In this paper, we demonstrate that it is po...

Bounded-depth circuits cannot sample good codes
We study a variant of the classical circuit-lower-bound problems: proving lower bounds for sampling distributions given random bits. We prove a lower bound of 1 - 1/n(1) on the st...
