Garbage collection can be a performance bottleneck in large distributed, multi-threaded applications. Applications may produce millions of objects during their lifetimes and may i...
The Cell BE processor provides both scalable computation power and flexibility, and it is already being adopted for many computational intensive applications like aerospace, defens...
Seismic data provide detailed information about subsurface structures. Reflection events visible in the seismic data are known as horizons, and indicate boundaries between differe...
Efficiency enhancement techniques--such as parallelization and hybridization--are among the most important ingredients of practical applications of genetic and evolutionary algori...
A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
