Min-max functions are dynamic programming operators of zero-sum deterministic games with finite state and action spaces. The problem of computing the linear growth rate of the or...
The required real-time and high-rate transfers for multimedia data severely limit the number of requests that can be serviced concurrently by Video-on-Demand (VOD) servers. Resour...
This paper describes a way to manage the modeling and analysis of Scheduled Maintenance Systems (SMS) within an analytically tractable context. We chose a significant case study h...
We present a compiler optimization approach that uses the simulated evolution (SE) paradigm to enhance the finish time of heuristically scheduled computations with communication t...
Abstract--This paper proposes an analytical model to estimate the cost of running an affinity-based thread schedule on multicore systems. The model consists of three submodels to e...
