In this paper we argue that the scheduler, as the intermediary between hardware and software, needs to be fully data-aware. The old paradigm of envisioning tasks as amorphous blobs of ‘work’ to be assigned to processors is incomplete and needs be expanded. Some techniques and projects have emerged that implicitly use this idea, but either focus on a small aspect of data or are targeted to optim...

The key to making program analysis practical for large concurrent programs is to isolate a small set of interleavings to be explored without losing precision of the analysis at hand. The state-of-the-art in restricting the set of interleavings while guaranteeing soundness is partial order reduction (POR). The main idea behind POR is to partition all interleavings of the given program into equiv...

s. Kenneth Alexander (University of Southern California)Disorderedpolymer depinning transitions: An overview. We consider a polymer with configuration modeled by the trajectory of a Markov chain, interacting with a potential of form u + Vn when it visits a particular state 0 at time n, with {Vn} representing i.i.d. quenched disorder. There is a critical value of u above which the polymer is pin...

In the task of visual object categorization, semantic context can play the very important role of reducing ambiguity in objects' visual appearance. However, the majority of newly proposed object recognition models -whether generative or discriminative – only consider the intrinsic object features. In this work we introduce a novel approach to object categorization that incorporates two types of...
