The title does not describe well Halide. The point of Halide is to separate the logic being applied from how it is going to be executed. It is sort of like SQL that has the logic in your statement and then the RDBMS provides the execution p

Very nice! I have spend the last hour trying to display the Poincaré disk[1], but to no avail. I have z * ( cos(1.57 * (a^2+b^2+1)^(1/2)) / sin(1.57 * (a^2+b^2+1)^(1/2)) ), which project the coordinates to the infinite on a c

The quasar library comes with bytecode manipulation to implement lightweight threads. It saves the program counter and local stack, and pushes it back when resuming. The space cost of context switching is reduced to its minimum. Now this is

Java 9 will introduce the G1 GC as default. How do the emulation of continuations behave regarding this GC? Is is possible to obtain truly pauseless behavior with Quaser and G1?

With Java being a sort of common API for lots of programmers to reach the hardware, I have always wondered if we would ever saw hardware that would directly implement the JVM bytecode, or even JavaSE. Apparently Altera has something called

IMHO, JSON can be seen as the simplified, fat-free child, non Enterprise-Edition of XML; where features are created out of popular demand -as opposed to being created by committee decision-. So far, we have: XML -> JSON BaseX, eXistdb -&

I saw an instance of your talk at another venue. At the time I was learning about bitmap indexes (because we needed OLAP capabilities on a another database engine that is not postgres). Your talk reminded me furiously of them, but in the en

I don't think so. The repository owner, maymounkov, seems to be a solid guy. He co-authored "Kademlia: A Peer-to-peer Information system Based on the XOR Metric in 2002.": http://www.maymounkov.org/papers/
