The preservation of common components has been recently isolated as a beneficial feature of genetic algorithms. One interpretation of this benefit is that the preservation of commo...
—Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are powerful search techniques that are used to solve difficult problems in many disciplines. Unfortunately, they can be very demanding in terms of com...
This paper describes a Parallel Space Decomposition (PSD) technique for the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm. MADS extends Generalized Pattern Search for constrained n...
We develop an algorithm for parallel disk sorting, whose I/O cost approaches the lower bound and that guarantees almost perfect overlap between I/O and computation. Previous algor...
Many of today’s embedded systems, such as wireless and portable devices rely heavily on the limited power supply. Therefore, energy efficiency becomes one of the major design con...
