Heterogeneous networks of computers have rapidly become a very promising commodity computing solution, expected to play a major role in the design of high performance computing sy...
In this paper we propose a new parallelization scheme for Simulated Annealing — Hierarchical Parallel SA (HPSA). This new scheme features coarse-granularity in parallelization, d...
