and friends  Develop your taste for good research topics  Topic selection needs time  pipeline model  Ex. Compressed Linear Algebra  Problem: Iterative ML algorithms + memory-bandwidth-bound operations repeated read-only data access and I/O-bound matrix-vector multiplications to converge to an optimal model. It is crucial for performance to fit the data into single-node or distributed main memory. % 2 Alagiannis, Renata Borovica, Miguel Branco, Stratos Idreos, Anastasia Ailamaki: NoDB: efficient query execution on raw data files.

2021/22 Presentation – Figures  Axes  Use Informative axes labels with units (e.g., Total Execution Time [ms])  Don’t cheat or mislead readers and reviewers  Start y-axis at 0 for linear scale

(with a break, continue, return or thrown exception), or is marked with a comment to indicate that execution will or might continue into the next statement group. Any comment that communicates the idea of

complexity costs. • APIs that transfer ownership force their clients into a single memory man- agement model. • Code using smart pointers is less explicit about where the resource releases take place. • std::unique_ptr
