Abstract— Optimization of a similarity metric is an essential component in most medical image registration approaches based on image intensities. In this paper, two new, determin...
We assert that in order to perform well, a shared-memory multiprocessorinter-process communication (IPC)facility mustavoid a) accessing any shared data, and b) acquiring any locks...
It is well known that dynamic typing in languages like Lisp is costly in terms of performance. Besides the cost of tag checking, the other major source of ine ciency comes from th...
—This paper describes the application of various search techniques to the problem of automatic empirical code optimization. The search process is a critical aspect of auto-tuning...
Solving optimally large instances of combinatorial optimization problems requires a huge amount of computational resources. In this paper, we propose an adaptation of the parallel...
