Willard Boyle (1924–2011)

Willard Thompson

Complexity theory has a profound influence on the field of cryptology. The time complexity of breaking a cipher system must be significant enough to thwart any adversary from succeeding. However, with the emergence of quantum computers an adversary may have no difficulty in breaking known cipher systems. If quantum computers would exist today new mechanisms for security would need to be built. ...

are apt to instill their principles into the mindes of weake persons, and you well know, if your wife got anything into her Head, all the reason in the World will not persuade her out of it." There is much sophisticated analysis to admire that positions midwives into larger historical debates. South German cities, such as Nuremberg, Augsburg and Munich, controlled their midwives through "sworn ...

Research Proposal : Michael O ’ Boyle

This project aims to develop a new framework which enables compilers to adapt with and exploit the exponential growth in hardware performance. This is achieved by systematically describing the program optimisation space and by developing new approaches to explore this space in a manner independent of application or underlying architecture. Furthermore, by transcending the distinction between co...
