Automatic performance tuning (auto-tuning) has been used in parallel numerical applications for adapting performance-relevant parameters. We extend auto-tuning to general-purpose ...

This paper presents an efficient modeling scheme and a partitioning heuristic for parallelizing VLSI post-placement timing optimization. Encoding the paths with timing violations...
We consider a non-preemptive, stochastic parallel machine scheduling model with the goal to minimize the weighted completion times of jobs. In contrast to the classical stochastic ...
Performance evaluation studies are to be an integral part of the design and tuning of parallel applications. We propose a hierarchical approach to the systematic characterization o...

The design of a process migration mechanism for the Amoeba distributed operating system is described. The primary motivation for this implementation is to carry out experimental a...
