We present a topdown design of a parallel PRAM dictionary using skip lists. More precisely, we give detailed algorithms to search for, insert or delete k elements in a skip list of n elements in parallel. The algorithms are iterative and easy to implement on real machines. We discuss some implementation issues and give concrete examples in C*. The algorithms run on an EREW PRAM in expected time...

High Performance Fortran (HPF) provides distributed arrays to eeciently support a global name space on distributed memory architectures. The distributed data structures supported by HPF, however , are only limited to array constructs, and do not extend to pointer-based distributed structures. With the support of distributed pointers and class abstractions in parallel C++-like languages, applica...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common malignant thyroid disease characterized by a high rate of cervical metastases (30-80%), especially due to paratracheal lymph node involvement. "Skip metastasis" are defined as a lateral lymph node metastasis without central lymph node involvement. The aim of this prospective study was to establish the lateral nodal metastasis pattern accordin...

Distributed representations of words (aka word embedding) have proven helpful in solving natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Training distributed representations of words with neural networks has lately been a major focus of researchers in the field. Recent work on word embedding, the Continuous Bag-of-Words (CBOW) model and the Continuous Skip-gram (Skip-gram) model, have produced particu...

In this paper we present a distributed, in-memory, message passing implementation of a dynamic ordered dictionary structure. The structure is based on a distributed fine-grain implementation of a skip list that can scale across a cluster of multicore machines. We present a service-oriented approach to the design of distributed data structures in MPI where the skip list elements are active proce...

PURPOSE To investigate the effects of lymph node metastasis, skip metastasis, and other factors related to lymph node status on survival in patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) and extended lymph node dissection (eLND). MATERIALS AND METHODS RC and eLND were performed in 85 patients with a diagnosis of bladder cancer. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were determ...

We propose the weight biased leftist tree as an alternative to traditional leftist trees CRAN for the representation of mergeable priority queues A modi ed version of skip lists PUGH that uses xed size nodes is also proposed Experimental results show our modi ed skip list structure is faster than the original skip list structure for the representation of dictionaries Experimental results compar...

In this study, we employ skip connections into a deep recurrent neural network for modeling basic dance steps using audio as input. Our model consists of two blocks, one encodes the audio input sequences, and another generates the motion. The encoder uses a configuration called convolutional, long short-term memory deep neural network (CLDNN) which handle the power features of audio. Furthermor...
