Deciding periodicity of infinite words generated by morphisms is a classical result in combinatorics on words from 80's by Harju, Linna and Pansiot. In this paper, we are interested in this question in the abelian setting. Two words are…
Safety applications in vehicle-to-everything communications and Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems rely on reliable and timely message exchange, which in turn depends on accurate modeling of wireless signal propagation. Simulation…
Adjacent GEMM problems that differ by a single 128-element step in N can show 30% different throughput on the same GPU. This pervasive performance ruggedness - invisible to roofline analysis and peak-FLOPs intuition, yet dominant for every…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized AI applications, but deploying them at scale presents significant challenges. We present RTP-LLM, a high-performance inference engine for industrial-scale LLM deployment, successfully…
Given a connected graph $G$ and a terminal set $R \subseteq V(G)$, the minimum Steiner tree problem (ST) asks for a tree that spans all of $R$ with at most $r$ vertices from $V(G)\backslash R$, for some integer $r\geq 0$. A \emph{split…
Large language models have achieved remarkable capabilities through scaling, and this paper does not challenge that. It instead investigates a different question: once large models already exist, can they become more accessible to…
The application of program transformation and algebraic methods to the development of efficient combinatorial optimization (CO) algorithms relies on an exhaustive combinatorial generator for the problem specification, followed by the fusion…
Half precision (FP16) promises to double FFT throughput on GPUs, but the prevailing view is that its 10-bit mantissa makes it unsuitable for radar-grade signal processing. We show this framing is wrong on Apple Silicon: the binding…
A real-time multicore system requires delay bounds on access to shared resources. These resources include the kernel, which has potentially many non-preemptible critical sections guarded by one or more different synchronization primitives.…
Given a finite and non-empty set $X$ and randomly selected specific functions and relations on $X$, we investigate the existence and non-existence of fixed points and reflexive points, respectively. First, we consider the class of…
We consider $d$-dimensional configurations, that is, colorings of the $d$-dimensional integer grid $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with finitely many colors. Moreover, we interpret the colors as integers so that configurations are functions $\mathbb{Z}^d…
The class of intersection bigraphs of unit intervals of the real line whose ends may be open or closed is called a class of mixed unit interval bigraphs. This class of bigraphs is a strict superclass of the class of unit interval bigraphs.…
In a computer system, multiple indispensable components-such as the CPU, memory, and others-work together with other essential components to produce an overall effect, which can only be measured on an independently running system. Since the…
Linux is the foundation of the digital age, accounting for the majority of the cloud and mobile OS markets. Any device that runs Linux uses the Linux page cache, a central pillar in OS and application performance, serving to reduce…
KV cache management is essential for efficient LLM inference. To maximize utilization, existing inference engines evict finished requests' KV cache if new requests are waiting. This policy breaks for agentic workloads, which interleave LLM…
We study various aspects of Dyck words appearing in binary sequences, where $0$ is treated as a left parenthesis and $1$ as a right parenthesis. We show that binary words that are $7/3$-power-free have bounded nesting level, but this no…
The ferromagnetic Ising model on an $n\times n$ square lattice region $\Lambda$ with mixed boundary conditions can exhibit a phase transition as temperature varies. For this spin system, if we fix the spins on the top and bottom sides of…
Recurring industrial analytics and machine-learning workflows are becoming a major computational burden in modern engineering practice. Large parametric database generation, scheduled model retraining, repeated evaluation pipelines, and…
A class of graphs $\mathcal{C}$ is closed under powers if for every graph $G\in\mathcal{C}$ and every $k\in\mathbb{N}$, $G^k\in\mathcal{C}$. Also $\mathcal{C}$ is strongly closed under powers if for every $k\in\mathbb{N}$, if…
We study the problem of recovering the relative positions of objects moving along the real line based only on pairwise collision data. While interaction-based sensing systems arise naturally in a variety of practical settings, a systematic…
