An operating system’s readahead and buffer-cache behaviors can significantly impact application performance; most often these better performance, but occasionally they worsen it...
For real-time applications, it is necessary to estimate the worst-case performance early in the design process without actual hardware implementation. While the non-preemptive task...
Quantum evolutionary algorithm (QEA) is proposed on the basis of the concept and principles of quantum computing, which is a classical metaheuristic algorithm for the approximate s...
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...
