SEEC: A Framework for Self-aware Management of Multicore Resources
(2011-03-24)
This paper presents SEEC, a self-aware programming model, designed to reduce programming effort in modern multicore systems. In the SEEC model, application programmers specify application goals and progress, while systems ...
Intel Concurrent Collections for Haskell
(2011-03-22)
Intel Concurrent Collections (CnC) is a parallel programming model in which a network of steps (functions) communicate through message-passing as well as a limited form of shared memory. This paper describes a new ...
Multicore Performance Optimization Using Partner Cores
(2011-03-25)
As the push for parallelism continues to increase the number of cores on a chip, and add to the complexity of system design, the task of optimizing performance at the application level becomes nearly impossible for the ...
A Comparison of Autonomic Decision Making Techniques
(2011-04-01)
Autonomic computing systems are capable of adapting their behavior and resources thousands of times a second to automatically decide the best way to accomplish a given goal despite changing environmental conditions and ...
Werner Reichardt: the man and his scientific legacy
(2011-03-04)
Excerpts from a talk given by Tomaso Poggio in Tübingen on the opening ofthe Werner Reichardt Centrun für Integrative Neurowissenschaften, December 8, 2008.
Epistemic Implementation and The Arbitrary-Belief Auction
(2012-06-22)
In settings of incomplete information we put forward an epistemic framework for designing mechanisms that successfully leverage the players' arbitrary higher-order beliefs, even when such beliefs are totally wrong, and ...
Patch complexity, finite pixel correlations and optimal denoising
(2012-10-07)
Image restoration tasks are ill-posed problems, typically solved withpriors. Since the optimal prior is the exact unknown density of natural images,actual priors are only approximate and typically restricted to small ...
Optimal Parametric Auctions
(2012-06-14)
We study the problem of an auctioneer who wants to maximize her profits. In our model, there are n buyers with private valuations drawn from independent distributions F_1,...,F_n. When these distributions are known to the ...
Integrated Robot Task and Motion Planning in the Now
(2012-06-29)
This paper provides an approach to integrating geometric motion planning with logical task planning for long-horizon tasks in domains with many objects. We propose a tight integration between the logical and geometric ...
Kintinuous: Spatially Extended KinectFusion
(2012-07-19)
In this paper we present an extension to the KinectFusion algorithm that permits dense mesh-based mapping of extended scale environments in real-time. This is achieved through (i) altering the original algorithm such that ...
