The relentless push for high performance in custom digital circuits has led to renewed emphasis on circuit optimization or tuning. The parameters of the optimization are typically...
After an outline of the history of evolutionary algorithms, a new ( ) variant of the evolution strategies is introduced formally. Though not comprising all degrees of freedom, it i...
Speculative execution is execution of instructions before it is known whether these instructions should be executed. Compiler-based speculative execution has the potential to achi...
Engineering applications that use Active DBMSs (ADBMSs) often need to group activities into modes that are shifted during the execution of different tasks. This paper presents a me...
Concurrent Time-stamp Systems (ctss) allow processes to temporally order concurrent events in an asynchronous shared memorysystem, a powerful tool for concurrency control, serving...
