We show how a random mutation hill climber that does multilevel selection utilizes transposition to escape local optima on the discrete Hierarchical-If-And-Only-If (HIFF) problem....
The quality of a local search engine, such as Google and Bing Maps, heavily relies on its geographic datasets. Typically, these datasets are obtained from multiple sources, e.g., ...
Multiprocessors based on processors with multiple cores usually include a non-uniform memory architecture (NUMA); even current 2-processor systems with 8 cores exhibit non-uniform...
This paper explores and quantifies garbage collection behavior for three whole heap collectors and generational counterparts: copying semi-space, mark-sweep, and reference counti...
