We investigate the well-known PRAM model of parallel computation as a practical parallel programming model. The two components of this project are a general-purpose PRAM programmin...
Abstract. We show how computations such as those involved in American or European-style option price valuations with the explicit finite difference method can be performed in par...
Abstract. Parallelizing a sequential algorithm—i.e., manually or automatically converting it into an equivalent parallel distributed algorithm—is an important problem. Ideally,...

We consider the problem of maximizing the reliability of a series-parallel system given cost and weight constraints on the system. The number of components in each subsystem and th...
Bulk Synchronous Parallel ML is a high-level language for programming parallel algorithms. Built upon OCaml and using the BSP model, it provides a safe setting for their implementa...
