Declarative Variables in Online Dating: A Mixed-Method Analysis of a Mimetic-Distinctive Mechanism

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Jessica Carolina Pidoux

Declarative variables of self-description have a long-standing tradition in matchmaking media. With the advent of online dating platforms and their brand positioning, the volume and semantics of variables vary greatly across apps. However, a variable lands ...

Interleaving with coroutines: a systematic and practical approach to hide memory latency in index joins

Anastasia Ailamaki, Georgios Psaropoulos

Index joins present a case of pointer-chasing code that causes data cache misses. In principle, we can hide these cache misses by overlapping them with computation: The lookups involved in an index join are parallel tasks whose execution can be interleaved ...

Interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy for extended focus optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Paul James Marchand, Arno Pino Bouwens, Jérôme Extermann, Séverine Coquoz

Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) is an interferometric technique providing 3D images of biological samples with micrometric resolution and penetration depth of several hundreds of micrometers. OCM differs from optical coherence tomography (OCT) in that i ...

Yin-yang: concealing the deep embedding of DSLs

Martin Odersky, Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Sandro Stucki, Vojin Jovanovic, Vladimir Nikolaev

Deeply embedded domain-specific languages (EDSLs) intrinsically compromise programmer experience for improved program performance. Shallow EDSLs complement them by trading program performance for good programmer experience. We present Yin-Yang, a framework ...

GIPSY: Joining Spatial Datasets with Contrasting Density

Anastasia Ailamaki, Thomas Heinis, Farhan Tauheed, Mirjana Pavlovic

Many scientific and geographical applications rely on the efficient execution of spatial joins. Past research has produced several efficient spatial join approaches and while each of them can join two datasets, the problem of efficiently joining two datase ...

The host software for the real-time PHA X-ray diagnostic on TCV

Basil Duval

A real-time pulse height analysis (PHA) X-ray diagnostic for the TCV tokamak has been developed using CFN multi-DSP-based VME acquisition, processing and control board. The hardware is composed by: (i) a detection system based on a Si SDD detector; (ii) a ...
