three different levels of abstraction: detailed models including ctivity dynamics, weight dynamics that abstract from the neural activity dynamics by an adiabatic approximation, an...
—Many important network design problems can be formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem. A large number of such problems, however, cannot readily be tackled by distribu...
Since the electricity bill of a data center constitutes a significant portion of its overall operational costs, reducing this has become important. We investigate cost reduction o...
