When designing concurrent algorithms, Load-Link/Store-Conditional (LL/SC) is often the ideal primitive to have because unlike Compare and Swap (CAS), LL/SC is immune to the ABA problem. However, the full semantics of LL/SC are not supported…

In a classical scheduling problem, we are given a set of $n$ jobs of unit length along with precedence constraints, and the goal is to find a schedule of these jobs on $m$ identical machines that minimizes the makespan. Using the standard…

In this paper, we extend the techniques used in our previous work to show that there exists a probabilistic Turing machine running within time $O(n^k)$ for all $k\in\mathbb{N}_1$ accepting a language $L_d$ that is different from any…

Given $n$ jobs with processing times $p_1,\dotsc,p_n\in\mathbb N$ and $m\le n$ machines with speeds $s_1,\dotsc,s_m\in\mathbb N$ our goal is to allocate the jobs to machines minimizing the makespan. We present an algorithm that solves the…

In the moldable job scheduling problem one has to assign a set of $n$ jobs to $m$ machines, in order to minimize the time it takes to process all jobs. Each job is moldable, so it can be assigned not only to one but any number of the equal…

A key principle in string processing is local consistency: using short contexts to handle matching fragments of a string consistently. String synchronizing sets [Kempa, Kociumaka; STOC 2019] are an influential instantiation of this…

We introduce the following elementary scheduling problem. We are given a collection of n jobs, where each job has an integer length as well as a set Ti of time intervals in which it can be feasibly scheduled. Given a parameter B, the…

The {\it number rigidity} of a stationary point process $\mathsf{P}$ entails that for a bounded set $A$ the knowledge of $\mathsf{P}$ on $A^{c}$ a.s. determines $\mathsf{P}(A)$; the $k$-order rigidity means the moments of $\mathsf{P}1_{A}$…

Consider a scheduling problem in which jobs need to be processed on a single machine. Each job has a weight and is composed of several operations belonging to different families. The machine needs to perform a setup between the processing…

We say that a function is rare-case hard against a given class of algorithms (the adversary) if all algorithms in the class can compute the function only on an $o(1)$-fraction of instances of size $n$ for large enough $n$. Starting from any…

We prove that any Turing machine running on inputs of arbitrary length can be simulated by a constant bit-size transformer, as long as the context window is sufficiently long. This improves previous works, which require scaling up either…
