Now, with graduation from the Computer Science Department (CSD) on the horizon, he's earned this year's Scott Robert Krulcik ...

I am interested in the performance analysis and design of computer systems, particularly distributed systems. I use analytical models to capture the important characteristics of a computer system, and ...

Tell us why doing research in your chosen field is important to you. We'd like to know what makes you tick, why you are committed to doing a Ph.D., and what you hope to do with it (if you've thought ...

Rankings are based on the following question: Which blogs should one read to be most up to date, i.e., to quickly know about important stories that propagate over the blogosphere? Budget=100 blogs: If ...

This book is the first Barsoom book currently released by Project Gutenberg. Also available are "The Gods of Mars", "The Warlord of Mars" and "Thuvia, Maid of Mars"-- others may be formatted and made ...

Consider an M/M/ queue with two priority classes (high and low), where high priority jobs have nonpreemptive priority over low priority jobs. That is, a high priority job can move ahead of all the low ...

Configuration could refer to the heat value at a particular time, or the position at a time value. Each evaluation of the loss function requires a full simulation. To calculate a gradient, finite ...

I am an Associate Professor in the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute. I think that creativity – making things and ideas! – is the best thing that humans do. So my research involves producing creative ...

Thread operations include thread creation, termination, synchronization (joins,blocking), scheduling, data management and process interaction. A thread does not maintain a list of created threads, nor ...

[2019] I have joined Microsoft Research and UW. My new website is at MSR.

From smart phones, to multi-core CPUs and GPUs, to the world's largest supercomputers, parallel processing is ubiquitous in modern computing. The goal of this course is to provide a deep understanding ...
