Decoupling capacitor (decap) placement has been widely adopted as an effective way to suppress dynamic power supply noise. Traditional decap budgeting algorithms usually explore t...
The Cross Entropy algorithm is a new search method for combinatorial problem. However, it needs considerable computational time to achieve good solution quality. To make the Cross...
We present new theoretical convergence results on the Cross-Entropy method for discrete optimization. Our primary contribution is to show that a popular implementation of the Cros...
The Cross-Entropy (CE) method is a modern and effective optimization method well suited to parallel implementations. There is a vast array of problems today, some of which are hig...

We propose in this paper a heuristic for mapping a set of interacting tasks of a parallel application onto a heterogeneous computing platform such as a computational grid. Our nov...
