Most windowing systems follow the independent overlapping windows approach, which emerged as an answer to the needs of the 1980s’ technology. Due to advances in computers and di...
Parallel workstations, each comprising 10-100 processors, promise cost-effective general-purpose multiprocessing. This paper explores the coupling of such small- to medium-scale s...
Monte-Carlo simulations are used in many applications, such as option pricing and portfolio evaluation. Due to their high computational load and intrinsic parallelism, they are id...
