A block-sorting lossless data compression algorithm

by M Burrows , D J Wheeler , 1994
"... We describe a block-sorting, lossless data compression algorithm, and our implementation of that algorithm. We compare the performance of our implementation with widely available data compressors running on the same hardware. The algorithm works by applying a reversible transformation to a block o ..."

Testing Equivalences for Processes

by R. De Nicola, M. C. B. Hennessy - Theoretical Computer Science , 1984
"... Abstract. Given a set of processes and a set of tests on these processes we show how to define in a natural way three different eyuitalences on processes. ThesP equivalences are applied to a particular language CCS. We give associated complete proof systems and fully abstract models. These models ha ..."

Multiscalar Processors

by Gurindar S. Sohi, Scott E. Breach, T. N. Vijaykumar - In Proceedings of the 22nd Annual International Symposium on Computer Architecture , 1995
"... Multiscalar processors use a new, aggressive implementation paradigm for extracting large quantities of instruction level parallelism from ordinary high level language programs. A single program is divided into a collection of tasks by a combination of software and hardware. The tasks are distribute ..."

. This paper presents the philosophy of the multi scalar paradigm, the structure of multiscalar programs, and the hardware architecture of a multiscalar processor. The paper also discusses performance issues in the mttltiscalar model. and compares the multiscalar paradigm with other paradigms. Experimental

Intelligence without reason

by Rodney A. Brooks , 1991
"... Computers and Thought are the two categories that together define Artificial Intelligence as a discipline. It is generally accepted that work in Artificial Intelligence over the last thirty years has had a strong influence on aspects of computer architectures. In this paper we also make the converse ..."

the converse claim; that the state of computer architecture has been a strong influence on our models of thought. The Von Neumann model of computation has lead Artificial Intelligence in particular directions. Intelligence in biological systems is completely different. Recent work in behavior-based Artificial

A General Theory of Equilibrium Selection in Games.

by References Harsanyi , J C Seleten , R , 1988
"... Abstract This paper presents a Downsian model of political competition in which parties have incomplete but richer information than voters on policy effects. Each party can observe a private signal of the policy effects, while voters cannot. In this setting, voters infer the policy effects from the ..."

of the Median Voter Theorem in the classical Downsian model. Our equilibrium analysis suggests similarity between the set of WPBEs in this model and the set of uniformly perfect equilibria of Harsanyi and Selten (1988) in the model with completely informed parties which we studied in a previous paper

Stock Market Prices Do Not Follow Random Walks: Evidence from a Simple Specification Test

by Andrew W. Lo, A. Craig MacKinlay - REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STUDIES , 1988
"... In this article we test the random walk hypothesis for weekly stock market returns by comparing variance estimators derived from data sampled at different frequencies. The random walk model is strongly rejected for the entire sample period (1962--1985) and for all subperiod for a variety of aggrega ..."

On the Private Provision of Public Goods

by Theodore Bergstrom, Lawrence Blume, Hal Varian - Journal of Public Economics , 1986
"... We consider a general model of the non-cooperative provision of a public good. Under very weak assumptions there will always exist a unique Nash equilibrium in our model. A small redistribution of wealth among the contributing consumers will not change the equilibrium amount of the public good. Howe ..."

Vogels, U-Net: a user-level network interface for parallel and distributed computing, in:

by Anindya Basu , Vineet Buch , Werner Vogels , Thorsten Von Eicken - Proceedings of the 15th ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles, ACM, , 1995
"... Abstract The U-Net communication architecture provides processes with a virtual view of a network device to enable user-level access to high-speed communication devices. The architecture, implemented on standard workstations using off-the-shelf ATM communication hardware, removes the kernel from th ..."

A universal algorithm for sequential data compression

by Jacob Ziv, Abraham Lempel - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY , 1977
"... A universal algorithm for sequential data compression is presented. Its performance is investigated with respect to a nonprobabilistic model of constrained sources. The compression ratio achieved by the proposed universal code uniformly approaches the lower bounds on the compression ratios attainabl ..."

Automatically characterizing large scale program behavior

by Timothy Sherwood, Erez Perelman, Greg Hamerly , 2002
"... Understanding program behavior is at the foundation of computer architecture and program optimization. Many pro-grams have wildly different behavior on even the very largest of scales (over the complete execution of the program). This realization has ramifications for many architectural and com-pile ..."
