Abstract- Simulated annealing (SA) is an effective general heuristic method for solving many combinatorial optimization problems. This paper deals with two problems in SA. One is ...
—Providers of Web-based services can take advantage of many convenient features of cloud computing infrastructures, but they still have to implement request management algorithms...
—This paper argues that algorithmic skeletons are a suitable programming model for multi-core architectures. -level abstractions offered by algorithmic skeletons provide a simple...
This paper presents TPCC-UVa, an open-source implementation of the TPC-C benchmark intended to be used in parallel and distributed systems. TPCC-UVa is written entirely in C langu...
