Linked lists have long served as a valuable teaching tool in programming. However, the question arises: Are they truly practical for everyday program use? In most cases, it appears that array-based data structures offer distinct advantages,…
We investigate effects of ordering in blocked matrix--matrix multiplication. We find that submatrices do not have to be stored contiguously in memory to achieve near optimal performance. Instead it is the choice of execution order of the…
Today's systems are overwhelmingly designed to move data to computation. This design choice goes directly against at least three key trends in systems that cause performance, scalability and energy bottlenecks: (1) data access from memory…
Uniquely represented data structures represent each logical state with a unique storage state. We study the problem of maintaining a dynamic set of $n$ keys from a totally ordered universe in this context. We introduce a two-layer data…
Various decision support systems are available that implement Data Mining and Data Warehousing techniques for diving into the sea of data for getting useful patterns of knowledge (pearls). Classification, regression, clustering, and many…
Mining informative negative instances are of central importance to deep metric learning (DML), however this task is intrinsically limited by mini-batch training, where only a mini-batch of instances is accessible at each iteration. In this…
Important papers have appeared recently on the problem of indexing binary strings for jumbled pattern matching, and further lowering the time bounds in terms of the input size would now be a breakthrough with broad implications. We can…
We consider unidirectional data streams with restricted access, such as read-only and write-only streams. For read-write streams, we also introduce a new complexity measure called expansion, the ratio between the space used on the stream…
Digital memristive processing-in-memory overcomes the memory wall through a fundamental storage device capable of stateful logic within crossbar arrays. Dynamically dividing the crossbar arrays by adding memristive partitions further…
We assume the permutation $\pi$ is given by an $n$-element array in which the $i$-th element denotes the value $\pi(i)$. Constructing its inverse in-place (i.e. using $O(\log{n})$ bits of additional memory) can be achieved in linear time…
Enumeration algorithms have been one of recent hot topics in theoretical computer science. Different from other problems, enumeration has many interesting aspects, such as the computation time can be shorter than the total output size, by…
Sliding-window aggregation summarizes the most recent information in a data stream. Users specify how that summary is computed, usually as an associative binary operator because this is the most general known form for which it is possible…
A constant-workspace algorithm has read-only access to an input array and may use only O(1) additional words of $O(\log n)$ bits, where $n$ is the size of the input. We assume that a simple $n$-gon is given by the ordered sequence of its…
We consider the problem of sampling $n$ numbers from the range $\{1,\ldots,N\}$ without replacement on modern architectures. The main result is a simple divide-and-conquer scheme that makes sequential algorithms more cache efficient and…
$\renewcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}$We present an efficient $O (n + 1/\varepsilon^{4.5})$-time algorithm for computing a $(1+\varepsilon$)-approximation of the minimum-volume bounding box of $n$ points in $\Re^3$. We also present a simpler…
We present fast algorithms for approximate shortest paths in the massively parallel computation (MPC) model. We provide randomized algorithms that take $poly(\log{\log{n}})$ rounds in the near-linear memory MPC model. Our results are for…
Existing path lookup routines in file systems need to construct an auxiliary index in memory or traverse the dentries of the directory file sequentially, which brings either heavy writes or large timing cost. This paper designs a novel path…
We present space-efficient parallel strategies for two fundamental combinatorial search problems, namely, backtrack search and branch-and-bound, both involving the visit of an $n$-node tree of height $h$ under the assumption that a node can…
Due to their efficiency and small size, decision trees and random forests are popular machine learning models used for classification on resource-constrained systems. In such systems, the available execution time for inference in a random…
The $\textit{Abelian Sandpile}$ model is a well-known model used in exploring $\textit{self-organized criticality}$. Despite a large amount of work on other aspects of sandpiles, there have been limited results in efficiently computing the…
