— Gaussian models are widely adopted in continuous Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs). In this paper, we analyze continuous EDAs and show that they don’t always work ...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
Real-world workloads rarely saturate multi-core processor. CPU C-states can be used to reduce power consumption during processor idle time. The key unsolved problem is: when and h...
Image-based CSG rendering algorithms for standard graphics hardware rely on multipass rendering that includes reading and writing large amounts of pixel data from and to the frame...
Clusters of commodity computers are currently being used to provide the scalability required by severalpopular Internet services. In this paper we evaluate an efficient cluster-b...
