We study the problem of preemptive scheduling n jobs with given release times on m identical parallel machines. The objective is to minimize the average flow time. We show that wh...

Abstract. Algorithmic skeletons correspond to a high-level programming model that takes advantage of nestable programming patterns to hide the complexity of parallel/distributed ap...
Swarm is a computational model which extends the UNITY model in three important ways: (1) UNITY’s fixed set of variables is replaced by an unbounded set of tuples which are add...
Big data is the tar sands of the data world: vast reserves of raw gritty data whose valuable information content can only be extracted at great cost. MapReduce is a popular parall...
Recently, multi-core architectures with alternative memory subsystem designs have emerged. Instead of using hardwaremanaged cache hierarchies, they employ software-managed embedde...
