WarpDrive: Massively Parallel Hashing on Multi-GPU Nodes
2018
Hash maps are among the most versatile data structures in computer science because of their compact data layout and expected constant time complexity for insertion and querying. However, associated memory access patterns during the probing phase are highly irregular resulting in strongly memory-bound implementations. Massively parallel accelerators such as CUDA-enabled GPUs may overcome this limitation by virtue of their fast video memory featuring almost one TB/s bandwidth in comparison to main memory modules of state-of-the-art CPUs with less than 100 GB/s. Unfortunately, the size of hash maps supported by existing single-GPU hashing implementations is restricted by the limited amount of …
Algebraic and logical characterizations of deterministic linear time classes
1997
In this paper an algebraic characterization of the class DLIN of functions that can be computed in linear time by a deterministic RAM using only numbers of linear size is given. This class was introduced by Grandjean, who showed that it is robust and contains most computational problems that are usually considered to be solvable in deterministic linear time.
Paths Coloring Algorithms in Mesh Networks
2003
In this paper, we will consider the problem of coloring directed paths on a mesh network. A natural application of this graph problem is WDM-routing in all-optical networks. Our main result is a simple 4-approximation algorithm for coloring line-column paths on a mesh. We also present sharper results when there is a restriction on the path lengths. Moreover, we show that these results can be extended to toroidal meshes and to line-column or column-line paths.
Discovering representative models in large time series databases
2004
The discovery of frequently occurring patterns in a time series could be important in several application contexts. As an example, the analysis of frequent patterns in biomedical observations could allow to perform diagnosis and/or prognosis. Moreover, the efficient discovery of frequent patterns may play an important role in several data mining tasks such as association rule discovery, clustering and classification. However, in order to identify interesting repetitions, it is necessary to allow errors in the matching patterns; in this context, it is difficult to select one pattern particularly suited to represent the set of similar ones, whereas modelling this set with a single model could…
Learning-Graph-Based Quantum Algorithm for k-distinctness
2012
We present a quantum algorithm solving the $k$-distinctness problem in $O(n^{1-2^{k-2}/(2^k-1)})$ queries with a bounded error. This improves the previous $O(n^{k/(k+1)})$-query algorithm by Ambainis. The construction uses a modified learning graph approach. Compared to the recent paper by Belovs and Lee arXiv:1108.3022, the algorithm doesn't require any prior information on the input, and the complexity analysis is much simpler. Additionally, we introduce an $O(\sqrt{n}\alpha^{1/6})$ algorithm for the graph collision problem where $\alpha$ is the independence number of the graph.
Fast Algorithms for Pseudoarboricity
2015
The densest subgraph problem, which asks for a subgraph with the maximum edges-to-vertices ratio d∗, is solvable in polynomial time. We discuss algorithms for this problem and the computation of a graph orientation with the lowest maximum indegree, which is equal to ⌈d∗⌉. This value also equals the pseudoarboricity of the graph. We show that it can be computed in O(|E| √ log log d∗) time, and that better estimates can be given for graph classes where d∗ satisfies certain asymptotic bounds. These runtimes are achieved by accelerating a binary search with an approximation scheme, and a runtime analysis of Dinitz’s algorithm on flow networks where all arcs, except the source and sink arcs, hav…
Optimal standalone data center renewable power supply using an offline optimization approach
2022
Abstract Because of the increasing energy consumption of data centers and their C O 2 emissions, the ANR DATAZERO2 project aims to design autonomous data centers running solely on local renewable energy coupled with storage devices to overcome the intermittency issue. In order to optimize the use of renewable energy and storage devices, a MILP solver is usually in charge of assigning the power to be supplied to the data center. However, in order to reduce the computation time and make the approach scalable, it would be more appropriate to use a polynomial time algorithm. This paper aims at showing and proving that it is possible to provide an optimal power profile via a deterministic algori…
Efficient lower and upper bounds of the diagonal-flip distance between triangulations
2006
There remains today an open problem whether the rotation distance between binary trees or equivalently the diagonal-flip distance between triangulations can be computed in polynomial time. We present an efficient algorithm for computing lower and upper bounds of this distance between a pair of triangulations.
An efficient upper bound of the rotation distance of binary trees
2000
A polynomial time algorithm is developed for computing an upper bound for the rotation distance of binary trees and equivalently for the diagonal-flip distance of convex polygons triangulations. Ordinal tools are used.
Symbolic control for underactuated differentially flat systems
2006
In this paper we address the problem of generating input plans to steer complex dynamical systems in an obstacle-free environment. Plans considered admit a finite description length and are constructed by words on an alphabet of input symbols, which could be e.g. transmitted through a limited capacity channel to a remote system, where they can be decoded in suitable control actions. We show that, by suitable choice of the control encoding, finite plans can be efficiently built for a wide class of dynamical systems, computing arbitrarily close approximations of a desired equilibrium in polynomial time. Moreover, we illustrate by simulations the power of the proposed method, solving the steer…
