Simulation is widely used for performance analysis of Personal Communication Systems due to their inherent complexity. However, resource demands (cpu-time and memory requirements)...
Consistency is an important issue in Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems. These systems share a set of objects or virtual memory pages. The data sharing enables the applicatio...
Consider a set of players that are interested in collectively evaluating a set of objects. We develop a collaborative scoring protocol in which each player evaluates a subset of t...
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) represents a fundamental shift in processor capability. SMT's ability to execute multiple threads simultaneously within a single CPU offers ...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
