The growing cost of tuning and managing computer systems is leading to out-sourcing of commercial services to hosting centers. These centers provision thousands of dense servers w...
Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are very commonly used as function optimizers, basically due to their search capability. A number of different serial and parallel versions of GA exist. ...
Sampling has been successfully used to identify performance optimization opportunities. We would like to apply similar techniques to check program correctness. Unfortunately, samp...
We discuss the computational complexity of random 2D Ising spin glasses, which represent an interesting class of constraint satisfaction problems for black box optimization. Two ex...
