Abstract. The availability of commodity multiprocessors offers significant opportunities for addressing the increasing computational requirements of optimization applications. To...
We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...
In this work, we are concerned with the detection of multiple objects in an image. We demonstrate that typically applied objectives have the structure of a random field model, but...
Models of simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) are currently playing a central role in the connection between circuit design and chip fabrication communitie...
Fully-populated tori, where every node has a processor attached, do not scale well since load on edges increases superlinearly with network size under heavy communication, resulti...
