Reducing the run-time of MCMC programs by multithreading on SMP architectures
The increasing availability of multi-core and multiprocessor architectures provides new opportunities for improving the performance of many computer simulations. Markov Chain Mont...

Proactive Algorithms for Job Shop Scheduling with Probabilistic Durations
Most classical scheduling formulations assume a fixed and known duration for each activity. In this paper, we weaken this assumption, requiring instead that each duration can be ...

Accelerated Simulation for Pricing Asian Options
When pricing options via Monte Carlo simulations, precision can be improved either by performing longer simulations, or by reducing the variance of the estimators. In this paper, ...

Fast simulation of equity-linked life insurance contracts with a surrender option
In this paper, we consider equity-linked life insurance contracts that give their holder the possibility to surrender their policy before maturity. Such contracts can be valued us...

Stimulus generation for constrained random simulation
Constrained random simulation is the main workhorse in today’s hardware verification flows. It requires the random generation of input stimuli that obey a set of declaratively...
