Parallel Load Balancing Heuristics for Radiative Heat Transfer Calculations
The computation of radiative effects by the Photon Monte Carlo method is computationally demanding, especially when complex, nongray absorption models are employed. To solve such c...

Backbone Guided Local Search for Maximum Satisfiability
Maximum satisfiability (Max-SAT) is more general and more difficult to solve than satisfiability (SAT). In this paper, we first investigate the effectiveness of Walksat, one of th...
