Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
With shrinking feature size and growing integration density in the Deep Sub-Micron technologies, the global buses are fast becoming the “weakest-links” in VLSI design. They ha...
Spectrum is a critical yet scarce resource and it has been shown that dynamic spectrum access can significantly improve spectrum utilization. To achieve this, it is important to ...
—Clusters and applications continue to grow in size while their mean time between failure (MTBF) is getting smaller. Checkpoint/Restart is becoming increasingly important for lar...
Abstract—Today’s computational science demands have resulted in ever larger parallel computers, and storage systems have grown to match these demands. Parallel file systems us...
