Towards Optimal Multi-level Tiling for Stencil Computations
Stencil computations form the performance-critical core of many applications. Tiling and parallelization are two important optimizations to speed up stencil computations. Many til...

Improved Bounds on Relaxations of a Parallel Machine Scheduling Problem
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs with release dates on m identical parallel machines to minimize the average completion time of the jobs. We prove that the ratio of the...
