The island model for evolutionary algorithms allows to delay the global convergence of the evolution process and encourage diversity. However, solving large size and time-intensiv...
The UTS benchmark is used to evaluate task parallelism in OpenMP 3.0 as implemented in a number of recently released compilers and run-time systems. UTS performs parallel search of...
Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-the-shelf processors become cheaper and faster, ...
Many system-level design tasks (e.g. timing analysis, hardware/software partitioning and design space exploration) involve computational kernels that are intractable (usually NP-ha...
In this paper we describe our design and characterization of a co-processor architecture to accelerate median-based phylogenetic reconstruction for generearrangement data. Our curr...
