Memory management in multicore systems is a well studied area. Many approaches to memory management have been developed and tuned with specific hardware architectures in mind, capitalizing on hardware characteristics to improve performance. In this thesis, the focus is on memory allocation and reclamation in multicore systems.

Sponsored by the Faculty of Mathematics Data Science Graduate Programs, please join Cheriton School of Computer Science expert in artificial intelligence, Professor Pascal Poupart, for a public talk in which he will describe the key technological advances in recent years that were behind AlphaGo and ChatGPT and ultimately facilitated these breakthroughs.

In recent years, we have seen the following —

Given a square matrix B' over a (commutative) ring S, the null ideal N_0(B') is the ideal consisting of all polynomials f in S[X] for which f(B')=0. In the case that S=R/J is the residue class ring of a ring R modulo an ideal J, we can equivalently study the so-called J-ideals

N_J(B) =  { f in  R[X]  |  f(B) in M_n(J) }
