We consider the problem of processing a given number of tasks on a given number of processors as quickly as possible when only vague information about the processing time of a task...
In this paper, we consider the tree task graphs which arise from many important programming paradigms such as divide and conquer, branch and bound etc., and the linear task-graphs...
We introduce a new deterministic parallel sorting algorithm based on the regular sampling approach. The algorithm uses only two rounds of regular all-to-all personalized communica...
—Increasingly larger data sets are being stored in networked architectures. Many of the available data structures are not easily amenable to parallel realizations. Hashing scheme...
The problem of question/answering (Q/A) is to find answers to open-domain questions by searching large collections of documents. Unlike information retrieval systems, very common ...
