The continuous increasing in performance requirements, for both scientic computation and industry, motivates the need of a powerful computing infrastructure. The Grid appeared as ...
Abstract. In this paper we suggest the use of light for performing useful computations. Namely, we propose a special computational device which uses light rays for solving the Hami...
Abstract. We investigate issues in the preparation of students for undergraduate study. Specifically, we focus upon the question of whether computer science students would be bett...
We describe our work in implementing a wide-area distributed file system for the NSF TeraGrid. The system, called XUFS, allows private distributed name spaces to be created for tr...
In many important problems, one uses the median instead of the mean to estimate a population's center, since the former is more robust. But in general, computing the median i...
