LPN Decoded

We propose new algorithms with small memory consumption for the Learning Parity with Noise (LPN) problem, both classically and quantumly. Our goal is to predict the hardness of LPN depending on both parameters, its dimension k and its noise rate τ , as accurately as possible both in theory and practice. Therefore, we analyze our algorithms asymptotically, run experiments on medium size paramete...

Buruli toxin genes decoded.

T he ancient scourges of leprosy and tuberculosis are diseases caused by mycobacteria. These afflictions remain widespread in much of the world. It is estimated that one-third of Earth’s population is infected with tuberculosis, and 2 million die of the active form of the disease annually. Tuberculosis claims the greatest number of victims of any infectious disease and has reawakened public hea...

Aggressive Dynamic Execution of Decoded

In this paper, we consider the increased performance that can be obtained by using, in concert , three previously proposed enhancements. These enhancements are aggressive dynamic (run time) instruction scheduling, the reuse of decoded instructions, and trace scheduling (both aggressive dynamic instruction scheduling and decoded instruction reuse have been used in commercial systems). We show th...
