Cache-oblivious Algorithms

Hi!

This time it's about Parallel Computations, and the first real article in the section is titled Cache-oblivious Algorithms. It introduces the problem of memory bandwidth, the concept of cache hierarchy in modern computers; then describes the underlying idea of cache-oblivious algorithms, and proceeds with an example of how to design a cache-oblivious algorithm for a simple problem.Presented benchmark results show unconditional superiority of the approach.
