We review chessboard distributions for modeling partially specified finite-dimensional random vectors. Chessboard distributions can match a given set of marginals, a given covaria...
In order for parallel logic programming systems to become popular, they should serve the broadest range of applications. To achieve this goal, designers of parallel logic programm...
Abstract. This paper presents PerWiz, a performance prediction tool for improving the performance of message passing programs. PerWiz focuses on locating where a significant impro...
We introduce a new performance metric, called Load Balancing Factor (LBF), to assist programmers with evaluating different tuning alternatives. The LBF metric differs from traditi...
New heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms are emerging that are typically composed of loosely coupled components that exchange data using programmable interconnections. The compon...
