We address the problem of performance and power-efficient thread allocation in a CMP. To that end, based on analytical model, we introduce a parameterized performance/power metric ...
Abstract— For solving multimodal problems by means of evolutionary algorithms, one often resorts to multistarts or niching methods. The latter approach the question: ‘What is e...
— We present a new representation for individuals in problems that have cyclic permutations as solutions. To demonstrate its usefulness, we analyze a simple randomized local sear...
The Unit Commitment Problem (UCP) is the task of finding an optimal turn on and turn off schedule for a group of power generation units over a given time horizon to minimize ope...
