Genetic algorithms have been successfully applied to many difficult problems but there have been some disappointing results as well. In these cases the choice of the internal repre...
In this paper, we argue that KBS validation should not be limited to testing functional properties of the system, such as its input - output behavior, but must also address its dy...
The performance of irregular applications on modern computer systems is hurt by the wide gap between CPU and memory speeds because these applications typically underutilize multi-...

Abstract. In transactional memory, aborted transactions reduce performance, and waste computing resources. Ideally, concurrent execution of transactions should be optimally ordered...
Branch taken rate and transition rate have been proposed as metrics to characterize the branch predictability. However, these two metrics may misclassify branches with regular his...
