— Array database systems are architected for scientific and engineering applications. In these applications, the value of a cell is often imprecise and uncertain. There are at le...
We propose a general framework for improving the query processing performance on multi-level memory hierarchies. Our motivation is that (1) the memory hierarchy is an important pe...
Speculative pre-execution is a promising prefetching technique which uses an auxiliary assisting thread in addition to the main program flow. A prefetching thread (p-thread), whic...
Design patterns have been widely adopted and well investigated by the software engineering community over the past decade. However, their primary use is still associated with forw...
Having in mind the large-scale analysis of gene regulatory networks, we review a graph decimation algorithm, called "leaf-removal", which can be used to evaluate the feed...
