A method for optimizing memory access for database operations is provided. The method may include performing a first database operation by at least executing a first instruction stream associated with the first database operation. The first database opera ...
Scala 3 provides a metaprogramming interface that represents the abstract syntax tree definitions using algebraic data types. To allow the compiler to freely evolve without breaking the metaprogramming interface, we present virtual algebraic data types (or ...
Domain-specific programming is bound to play a central role in improving the productivity of writing software. This is because modern, intricate, general-purpose abstractions are rarely applicable directly to everyday programming. However, such abstraction ...
Metaprogramming is a powerful technique of software development, which allows to automate program generation. Applications of metaprogramming range from improving expressiveness of a programming language via deep embedding of domain-specific languages to b ...
We introduce a new distributed computing model called m&m that allows processes to both pass messages and share memory. Motivated by recent hardware trends, we find that this model improves the power of the pure message-passing and shared-memory models. As ...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are strongly decentralized and asynchronous distributed settings involving a potentially large number of hosts. A common programing model for P2P infrastructures is that of a distributed hashtable (DHT), though which peers share ...
The chief aim of this survey is to discuss exception handling models which have been developed for concurrent object systems. In conducting this discussion we rely on the following fundamental principles: exception handling should be associated with struct ...
We show that CSMA is able to spontaneously synchronize transmissions in a wireless network with constant-size packets, and that this property can be used to devise efficient synchronized CSMA scheduling mechanisms without message passing. Using tools from ...
Varaiya and Walrand found an elegant insight regarding the use of feedback in a causal coding context: While generally useful, feedback becomes useless when the channel is sufficiently symmetric. The goal of this note is to extend this insight to scenarios ...
