A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
In this paper we present a randomized parallel algorithm to sample matchings from an almost uniform distribution on the set of matchings of all sizes in a graph. First we prove th...
In this paper, we present a randomized algorithm for the multipacket (i.e., k − k) routing problem on an n × n mesh. The algorithm completes with high probability in at the mos...
Reconfigurable computing offers an attractive solution to accelerating infrared scene simulations. In infrared scene simulations, the modeling of a number of atmospheric and optic...
Parallel independent disks can enhance the performance of external memory (EM) algorithms, but the programming task is often di cult. In this paper we develop randomized variants ...
