A logarithmic time sort for linear size networks
John H. Reif,Leslie G. Valiant +1 more
TL;DR: A randomized algorithm that sorts on an N- node network with constant valence in O(log N) time with probability at least 1 - N - “α” - “ α” for all large enough items.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Crytographic limitations on learning Boolean formulae and finite automata
Michael Kearns,Leslie G. Valiant +1 more
TL;DR: It is proved that for Boolean formulae, finite automata, and constant depth threshold circuits (simplified neural nets), this problem is computationally as difficult as the quadratic residue problem, inverting the RSA function and factoring Blum integers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Holographic Algorithms
TL;DR: A new notion of efficient reduction among computational problems is introduced and families of polynomial systems such that the solvability of any one member would imply P/sup #P/ = NC2.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bridging model for multi-core computing
TL;DR: It is suggested that the considerable intellectual effort needed for designing efficient algorithms for multi-core architectures may be most fruitfully expended in designing portable algorithms, once and for all, for such a bridging model.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Universal circuits (Preliminary Report)
TL;DR: It is shown that there is a combinational (acyclic) Boolean circuit of complexity 0(slog s), that can be made to compute any Boolean function of complexity s by setting its specially designated set of control inputs to appropriate fixed values.
