Policy gradient (PG) reinforcement learning algorithms have strong (local) convergence guarantees, but their learning performance is typically limited by a large variance in the e...
Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) suffer from optical-loss during switching and crosstalk problem in the switches. The crosstalk problem is solved by routing mess...
Abstract— Rate adaptation plays a key role in determining the performance of wireless LANs. In this paper, we introduce a semi-Markovian framework to analyze the performance of t...
Software-based active replication is expensive in terms of performance overhead. Multithreading can help improve performance; however, thread scheduling is a source of nondetermin...
