What is the career path for a performance analyst? A capacity planner? Most technicians paid their dues in the trenches of systems programming or operations. Having done it all, t...
It is challenging to manage the performance of real-time databases (RTDBs) that are often used in data-intensive real-time applications such as agile manufacturing and target trac...
Temporal difference (TD) algorithms are attractive for reinforcement learning due to their ease-of-implementation and use of "bootstrapped" return estimates to make effi...
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...
