— This paper describes a novel, ultra-fast heuristic algorithm to address an NP-hard optimization problem. One of its significances is that, for the first time, the paper shows...
In the directed acyclic graph (dag) model of algorithms, consider the following problem for precedence-constrained multiprocessor schedules for array computations: Given a sequenc...
Although Microsoft Windows is being deployed in mission-critical applications, little quantitative data has been published about its robustness. We present the results of executin...
Modeling is used to build structures that serve as surrogates for other objects. As children, we learn to model at a very young age. An object such as a small toy train teaches us...
This paper describes a mechanism for automatic design and synthesis of very long instruction word (VLIW), and its generalization, explicitly parallel instruction computing rocesso...
