I recently graduated with a master’s degree in Computer Science from Brown University. My project report that documents the work I did over the last one year is now available on the Brown CS website at https://cs.brown.edu/research/pubs/theses/masters/2017/singhal.kartik.pdf.
I am making a copy available here as well: PDF.
Abstract Traditional storage stack necessitates a separate data format for the persistence of in-memory data structures, requires additional code for conversion to that data format and wastes a lot of CPU time.
William (Bill) Gasarch writes on the Computational Complexity blog about a recent talk that Guy Steele gave at Harvard on Harry Lewis’s 70th birthday (some spellings corrected):
Guy Steele gave the most technical talk and it was, as the kids say, awesome (do adults still say ‘as the kids say’?) Here is a version of the talk:
A Logical Concern
Its about how papers at POPL and some other conference have been informally using a language to specify protocols and by now its all bent out of shape.
