We present, in this paper, an algorithm which integrates flow control and dynamic load balancing in Time Warp. The algorithm is intended for use in a distributed memory environme...
A major research goal for compilers and environments is the automatic derivation of tools from formal specifications. However, the formal model of the language is often inadequat...
Mutual exclusion is a fundamental distributed coordination problem. Shared-memory mutual exclusion research focuses on local-spin algorithms and uses the remote memory references ...
Ascertaining the similarity amongst molecules is a fundamental problem in biology and drug discovery. Since similar molecules tend to have similar biological properties, the notio...
