In this paper we present an analytical-based framework for parallel program performance prediction. The main thrust of this work is to provide a means for treating realistic appli...
The effort in software process support has focused so far on modeling and enacting processes. A certain amount of work has been done, but little has reached a satisfactory level o...
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 ...
