Planning in the Presence of Cost Functions Controlled by an Adversary
We investigate methods for planning in a Markov Decision Process where the cost function is chosen by an adversary after we fix our policy. As a running example, we consider a rob...

An improved micro-architecture for function approximation using piecewise quadratic interpolation
We present a new micro-architecture for evaluating functions based on piecewise quadratic interpolation. The micro-architecture consists mainly of a look-up table and two multiply...

Library Function Selection in Compiling Octave
One way to address the continuing performance problem of high-level domain-specific languages, such as Octave or MATLAB, is to compile them to a relatively lower level language f...

Two-Dimensional Matrix Partitioning for Parallel Computing on Heterogeneous Processors Based on Their Functional Performance Mod
Abstract. The functional performance model (FPM) of heterogeneous processors has proven to be more realistic than the traditional models because it integrates many important featur...
