A multi-object operation incurs communication or synchronization overhead when the requested objects are distributed over different nodes. The object pair correlations (the probab...
We study a type of linear placement problem arising in detailed placement optimization of a given cell row in the presence of white-space (extra sites). In this single-row placeme...

Branch-and-bound algorithms are general methods applicable to various combinatorial optimization problems and parallelization is one of the most hopeful methods to improve these a...
Wide-area coordinating control is becoming an important issue and a challenging problem in the power industry. This paper proposes a novel optimal wide-area coordinating neurocont...
