Abstract. Data dependent circuits are logic circuits specialized to specific input data. They are smaller and faster than the original circuits, although they are not reusable and...
The well-known Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) is a robust stochastic search algorithm for optimizing functions defined on a continuous search space RD ....
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

Portable systems such as cell phones and portable media players commonly use non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) to hold all of their data and metadata, and larger systems can store metadata...
As IPC mechanisms become faster, stub-code efficiency becomes a performance issue for local client/server RPCs and inter-component communication. Inefficient and unnecessary compl...
