  1-10 of 137 Reviews about "Modes Of Computation (F.1.2)": Date Reviewed
  Conditioning in probabilistic programming
Olmedo F., Gretz F., Jansen N., Kaminski B., Katoen J., Mciver A. ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems 40(1): 1-50, 2018.  Type: Article

Machine learning, possibly contrary to popular belief, is not just about endless variations of neural networks. There is also a thriving subculture of probabilistic programming based on Bayesian principles. A large advantage of the lat...

  Discrete probability models and methods: probability on graphs and trees, Markov chains and random fields, entropy and coding
Brémaud P., Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2017. 559 pp.  Type: Book (978-3-319434-75-9)

Due to advances in both theory and practice, there has been a recent explosion in courses on network science and data science. These demand a solid background in probabilistic methods....

  An introduction to online computation: determinism, randomization, advice
Komm D., Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2016. 349 pp.  Type: Book (978-3-319427-47-8)

This text is an important contribution to the field of online algorithms. In a traditional (offline) algorithm all of the data is present before the algorithm executes. While for an online algorithm the data is presented in a piecewise...

  A survey on thread-level speculation techniques
Estebanez A., Llanos D., Gonzalez-Escribano A. ACM Computing Surveys 49(2): 1-39, 2016.  Type: Article

The technique called thread-level speculation (TLS) seeks to allow sequential code to be executed in parallel without prior analysis of compile-time dependence. This noteworthy survey paper includes the technique, a taxonomy of TLS app...

  Semantics of probabilistic processes: an operational approach
Deng Y., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2015. 249 pp.  Type: Book (978-3-662451-97-7)

This is a good resource for understanding issues related to the semantic foundations of concurrent systems. The author especially examines bisimulation semantics and testing semantics....

  The BonaFide C analyzer: automatic loop-level characterization and coverage measurement
Aldea S., Llanos D., Gonzalez-Escribano A. The Journal of Supercomputing 68(3): 1378-1401, 2014.  Type: Article

Loops in a software application are a crucial construct that heavily drives resource consumption, both in time and memory. For example, an improper loop boundary may have severe ripple effects, resulting in resource consumption anomali...

  Parallel actor monitors: disentangling task-level parallelism from data partitioning in the actor model
Scholliers C., Tanter E., De Meuter W. Science of Computer Programming 8052-64, 2014.  Type: Article

Scholliers et al. have designed and implemented a mechanism that allows message control within an actor to be parallelized. For example, in a dining philosophers example, the philosopher requests two forks; the order in which the forks...

  Epistemic strategies and games on concurrent processes
Chatzikokolakis K., Knight S., Palamidessi C., Panangaden P. ACM Transactions on Computational Logic 13(4): 1-35, 2012.  Type: Article

Among the early process algebras, Hoare’s communicating sequential processes (CSP) [1] had an explicit syntax of process names, which could be thought of as “agents” that executed the processes. The commun...

  Online execution time prediction for computationally intensive applications with periodic progress updates
Chtepen M., Claeys F., Dhoedt B., De Turck F., Fostier J., Demeester P., Vanrolleghem P. The Journal of Supercomputing 62(2): 768-786, 2012.  Type: Article

Grid computing is a recent technology that enables large-scale scientific computations. Efficient use of the vast number of distributed resources found in such infrastructures remains an important research issue. The task, typically ha...

  A primal-dual randomized algorithm for weighted paging
Bansal N., Buchbinder N., Naor J. Journal of the ACM 59(4): 1-24, 2012.  Type: Article

Paging is a memory management technique where memory is divided into chunks of constant size called pages. A two-level memory system consists of a small fast memory (the cache) that can hold k pages and a large slow ...
