OpenMP has emerged as a widely accepted standard for writing shared memory programs. Hardware-specific extensions such as data placement are usually needed to improve the scalabi...
A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...
Today's complex applications must face the distribution of data and code among different network nodes. Computation in distributed contexts is demanding increasingly powerful...
Distributed applications can be structured using sessions that specify flows of messages between roles. We design a small specific language to declare sessions. We then build a c...
