Accelerated graphics cards, or Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), have become ubiquitous in recent years. On the right kinds of problems, GPUs greatly surpass CPUs in terms of raw ...
A significant fraction of the software and resource usage of a modern handheld computer is devoted to its graphical user interface (GUI). Moreover, GUIs are direct users of the d...
Local search (LS) algorithms are among the most powerful techniques for solving computationally hard problems in combinatorial optimization. These algorithms could be viewed as &q...
Web search engines are facing formidable performance challenges as they need to process thousands of queries per second over billions of documents. To deal with this heavy workloa...
Abstract. This paper reports record-setting performance for the ellipticcurve method of integer factorization: for example, 926.11 curves/second for ECM stage 1 with B1 = 8192 for ...
