When I was in graduate school, transactional memory was an ivory tower pipe dream, but now it's something that actually exists in hardware you can buy. It seems worthwhile to start learning about how to use it.
Abstract: "Today’s graphs used in domains such as machine learning or
social network analysis may contain hundreds of billions of
edges. Yet, they are not necessarily stored efficiently, and standard
graph representations such as adjacency lists waste a
significant number of bits while graph com...
Abstract: "Arrays of integers are often compressed in search engines. Though there are many ways to compress integers, we are interested in the popular byte-oriented integer compression techniques (e.g., VByte or Google's Varint-GB). They are appealing due to their simplicity and engineering conveni...
