We consider the problem of finding highly correlated pairs in a large data set. That is, given a threshold not too small, we wish to report all the pairs of items (or binary attri...
Interval constraints can be used to solve problems in numerical analysis. In this paper we show that one can improve the performance of such an interval constraint program by the ...
The assumption of real-number arithmetic, which is at the basis of conventional geometric algorithms, has been seriously challenged in recent years, since digital computers do not...
The majority of the world’s computing resources remains idle most of the time. By using this resource pool, an individual computation may be completed in a fraction of time requ...
At UCLA's Plasma Physics Group, we have been successful in building and using a numerically-intensive parallel computing cluster using Power Macintosh hardware and the Macint...
