The model of bulk-synchronous parallel computation (BSP) helps to implement portable general purpose algorithms while keeping predictable performance on different parallel compute...
One of the problems with Java for real-time systems is the unpredictable behavior of garbage collection (GC). GC introduces unexpected load and causes undesirable delays for real-...
We have developed a novel software program called `Predict Your Child' that, given photographs of potential parent faces, generates plausible looking children. The parent phot...

In this paper we present an analytical-based framework for parallel program performance prediction. The main thrust of this work is to provide a means for treating realistic appli...
Abstract. Empirical hardness models are a recent approach for studying NP-hard problems. They predict the runtime of an instance using efficiently computable features. Previous res...
