—Partitioned global address space (PGAS) languages, such as Unified Parallel C (UPC) have the promise of being productive. Due to the shared address space view that they provide,...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
