Integer: Fusion Trees: Sketching, Parallel Comparison, Most Significant Set Bit
This lecture describes a tour-de-force in integer data structures, called fusion trees (so named because they were published a year after the 1989 cold-fusion “scandal”, and were perhaps just as surprising–though more correct). Fusion trees solve predecessor and successor among n w-bit integers in O(logw n) time per operation on the word RAM. The basic […]

Memory Hierarchy: Models, Cache-Oblivious B-Trees
The topic of the next three lectures is cache-efficient data structures. A classic result here is that B-trees are good at exploiting that data is transferred in blocks between cache and main memory, and between main memory and disk, and so on. B-trees achieve O(logB N) insert/delete/predecessor/ successor for N items and memory block transfers of size B. What’s more […]

The Politics of Health Reform from a Medieval Persepctive
Is the NHS medieval? Is this an insulting claim to make? Insulting to modern hospitals or those of the Middle Ages? Professor William Ayliffe considers modern health reform from the perspective of Tudor medical practice. He provides an overview of some of London’s most important mediveval hospitals, including St Bartholomew’s, St Thomas’ and St Mary’s […]
