A classic result in algorithmic information theory is that every infinite binary sequence is computable from a Martin-Loef random infinite binary sequence. Proved independently by Kucera and Gacs, this result answered a question by Charles Bennett and has seen numerous applications in the last 30 years. The optimal redundancy in such a coding process has, however, remained unknown. If the computation of the first n bits of a sequence requires n + g(n) bits of the random oracle, then g is the redundancy of the computation. Kucera implicitly achieved redundancy n log n while Gacs used a more elaborate block-coding procedure which achieved redundancy sqrt(n) log n. Different approaches to coding such as the one by Merkle and Mihailovic have not improved this redundancy bound. In this paper we devise a new coding method that achieves optimal logarithmic redundancy. Our redundancy bound is exponentially smaller than the previously best known bound and is known to be the best possible. It follows that redundancy r log n in computation from a random oracle is possible for every stream, if and only if r > 1.

We prove that every key agreement protocol in the random oracle model in which the honest users make at most $n$ queries to the oracle can be broken by an adversary who makes $O(n^2)$ queries to the oracle. This improves on the previous $widetilde{Omega}(n^6)$ query attack given by Impagliazzo and Rudich (STOC 89) and resolves an open question posed by them. Our bound is optimal up to a constant factor since Merkle proposed a key agreement protocol in 1974 that can be easily implemented with $n$ queries to a random oracle and cannot be broken by any adversary who asks $o(n^2)$ queries.
Relativizing computations of Turing machines to an oracle is a central concept in the theory of computation, both in complexity theory and in computability theory(!). Inspired by lowness notions from computability theory, Allender introduced the concept of low for speed oracles. An oracle A is low for speed if relativizing to A has essentially no effect on computational complexity, meaning that if a decidable language can be decided in time $f(n)$ with access to oracle A, then it can be decided in time poly(f(n)) without any oracle. The existence of non-computable such As was later proven by Bayer and Slaman, who even constructed a computably enumerable one, and exhibited a number of properties of these oracles as well as interesting connections with computability theory. In this paper, we pursue this line of research, answering the questions left by Bayer and Slaman and give further evidence that the structure of the class of low for speed oracles is a very rich one.
Schnorr showed that a real is Martin-Loef random if and only if all of its initial segments are incompressible with respect to prefix-free complexity. Fortnow and independently Nies, Stephan and Terwijn noticed that this statement remains true if we can merely require that the initial segments of the real corresponding to a computable increasing sequence of lengths are incompressible. The purpose of this note is to establish the following generalization of this fact. We show that a real is X Martin-Loef random if and only if its initial segments corresponding to a pointedly X-computable sequence (r_n) (where r_n is computable from X in a self-delimiting way, so that at most the first r_n bits of X are queried in the computation) of lengths are incompressible. On the other hand we also show that there are reals which are very far from being Martin-Loef random, yet they compute an increasing sequence of lengths at which their initial segments are incompressible.
Stencil computation is one of the most important kernels in various scientific and engineering applications. A variety of work has focused on vectorization techniques, aiming at exploiting the in-core data parallelism. Briefly, they either incur data alignment conflicts or hurt the data locality when integrated with tiling. In this paper, a novel transpose layout is devised to preserve the data locality for tiling in the data space and reduce the data reorganization overhead for vectorization simultaneously. We then propose an approach of temporal computation folding designed to further reduce the redundancy of arithmetic calculations by exploiting the register reuse, alleviating the increased register pressure, and deducing generalization with a linear regression model. Experimental results on the AVX-2 and AVX-512 CPUs show that our approach obtains a competitive performance.
The problem of distinguishing between a random function and a random permutation on a domain of size $N$ is important in theoretical cryptography, where the security of many primitives depend on the problems hardness. We study the quantum query complexity of this problem, and show that any quantum algorithm that solves this problem with bounded error must make $Omega(N^{1/5}/log N)$ queries to the input function. Our lower bound proof uses a combination of the Collision Problem lower bound and Ambainiss adversary theorem.
