We consider the scenario of $n$ sensor nodes observing streams of data. The nodes are connected to a central server whose task it is to compute some function over all data items observed by the nodes. In our case, there exists a total order…
In the CONGEST model, a communications network is an undirected graph whose $n$ nodes are processors and whose $m$ edges are the communications links between processors. At any given time step, a message of size $O(\log n)$ may be sent by…

Classical, i.e. non-quantum, communications include configurations with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. Some associated signal processing tasks consider these channels in a symmetric way, i.e. by assigning the same role to…
In the research area of parallel computation, the communication cost has been extensively studied, while the IO cost has been neglected. For big data computation, the assumption that the data fits in main memory no longer holds, and…
