Database workloads have significantly evolved in the past twenty years. Traditional database systems that are mainly used to serve Online Transactional Processing (OLTP) workloads evolved into specialized database systems that are optimized for particular ...
Micro-architectural behavior of traditional disk-based online transaction processing (OLTP) systems has been investigated extensively over the past couple of decades. Results show that traditional OLTP systems mostly under-utilize the available micro-archi ...
Previous research reported that corvids preferentially cache food in a location where no food will be available or cache more of a specific food in a location where this food will not be available. Here, we consider possible explanations for these prospect ...
Word embeddings have gained increasing popularity in the recent years due to the Word2vec library and its extension fastText that uses subword information. In this paper, we aim at improving the execution speed of fastText training on homogeneous multi- an ...
As a unified data repository, data lake plays a vital role in enterprise data management and analysis. It composes the raw files into tables that are processed in-situ by various computation engines and applications. Therefore, the read performance of the ...
While domain adaptation has been used to improve the performance of object detectors when the training and test data follow different distributions, previous work has mostly focused on two-stage detectors. This is because their use of region proposals make ...
Modern application development addresses increasingly specialized problems using domain-specific utilities, such as Optical Code Recognition and standalone statistical tools. The diversity of tooling, combined with the ever-growing volume of data, requires ...
Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) is an emerging type of memory device that provides fast, byte-addressable, and high-capacity durable storage. NVM sits on the memory bus and allows durable data structures designs similar to the in-memory equivalent ones. Expensiv ...
Hybrid Transactional and Analytical Processing (HTAP) systems have become popular in the past decade. HTAP systems allow running transactional and analytical processing workloads on the same data and hardware. As a result, they suffer from workload interfe ...
The building cultures of regions where plant resources abound show the adaptation of these local bio-based materials to the roofing of buildings: thatch, reed, bark or shingles. Despite a low environmental impact, these techniques require skilled manual wo ...
