Data caches are essential in modern processors, bridging the widening gap between main memory and processor speeds. However, they yield very complex performance models, which make...
We develop algorithms for computing the smallest enclosing ball of a set of n balls in d-dimensional space. Unlike previous methods, we explicitly address small cases (n ≤ d + 1...
