We revisit the problem of supertasking in Pfair-scheduled multiprocessor systems. In this approach, a set of tasks, called component tasks, is assigned to a server task, called a ...
Instruction scheduling is a compiler optimization that can improve program speed, sometimes by 10% or more—but it can also be expensive. Furthermore, time spent optimizing is mo...
In this paper, we consider the problem of devising a loop scheduler that allocates slots to users according to their relative weights as smoothly as possible. Instead of the exist...
Relative fitness, or “evaluation by tests” is one of the building blocks of coevolution: the only fitness information available is a comparison with other individuals in a p...
Answering queries using views is a well-established technique in databases. In this context, two outstanding problems can be formulated. The first one consists in deciding whethe...
