Instruction-Level Execution Migration
(2010-04-17)
We introduce the Execution Migration Machine (EM²), a novel data-centric multicore memory system architecture based on computation migration. Unlike traditional distributed memory multicores, which rely on complex cache ...
A User Study Comparing 3D Modeling with Silhouettes and Google SketchUp
(2010-05-05)
We describe a user study comparing 3D Modeling with Silhouettes and Google SketchUp. In the user study, ten users were asked to create 3D models of three different objects, using either 3D Modeling with Silhouettes or ...
Optimizing MapReduce for Multicore Architectures
(2010-05-02)
MapReduce is a programming model for data-parallel programs originally intended for data centers. MapReduce simplifies parallel programming, hiding synchronization and task management. These properties make it a promising ...
Hierarchical Task and Motion Planning in the Now
(2010-05-07)
In this paper we outline an approach to the integration of task planning and motion planning that has the following key properties: It is aggressively hierarchical. It makes choices and commits to them in a top-down fashion ...
UCM/MIT Indications, Referring Expressions, and Coreference Corpus (UMIREC corpus)
(2010-05-12)
This version of the UMIREC corpus has been superseded by version 1.1, found at http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/57507. Please do not use version 1.0, as it contains corrupted coreference information. The correct, uncorrupted ...
Neurons That Confuse Mirror-Symmetric Object Views
(2010-12-31)
Neurons in inferotemporal cortex that respond similarly to many pairs of mirror-symmetric images -- for example, 45 degree and -45 degree views of the same face -- have often been reported. The phenomenon seemed to be an ...
Submodular Secretary Problem and Extensions
(2010-02-01)
Online auction is an essence of many modern markets, particularly networked markets, in which information about goods, agents, and outcomes is revealed over a period of time, and the agents must make irrevocable decisions ...
An Operating System for Multicore and Clouds: Mechanisms and Implementation
(2010-02-08)
Cloud computers and multicore processors are two emerging classes of computational hardware that have the potential to provide unprecedented compute capacity to the average user. In order for the user to effectively harness ...
The Cost of Global Broadcast Using Abstract MAC Layers
(2010-02-09)
We analyze greedy algorithms for broadcasting messages throughout a multi-hop wireless network, using a slot-based model that includes message collisions without collision detection. Our algorithms are split formally into ...
Generalization and Properties of the Neural Response
(2010-11-19)
Hierarchical learning algorithms have enjoyed tremendous growth in recent years, with many new algorithms being proposed and applied to a wide range of applications. However, despite the apparent success of hierarchical ...
