Comparison of Monte Carlo and Deterministic Methods for Non-Adaptive Optimization
In this paper we compare the average performance of Monte Carlo methods for global optimization with non-adaptive deterministic alternatives. We analyze the behavior of the algori...

Accurate power estimation for large sequential circuits
A power estimation approach is presented in which blocks of consecutive vectors are selected at random from a user-supplied realistic input vector set and the circuit is simulated...

Summarizing CSP Hardness with Continuous Probability Distributions
We present empirical evidence that the distribution of e ort required to solve CSPs randomly generated at the 50% satis able point, when using a backtracking algorithm, can be app...

A New Variance-Reduction Technique for Regenerative Simulations of Markov Chains
We propose a new estimator for some performance measures obtained from a regenerative simulation of a discrete-time Markov chain. Our new estimator is based on the idea of generat...
