This paper discusses the impact of the hierarchical master-worker paradigm on performance of an application program, which solves an optimization problem by a parallel branch and ...
There is growing interest in computing courses for non-CS majors. We have recently built such a course that has met with positive response. We describe our design process, which i...
The growing disparity between processor and memory speeds has caused memory bandwidth to become the performance bottleneck for many applications. In particular, this performance g...
Versus the customary preconditioners, our weakly random ones are generated more readily and for a much larger class of input matrices. Furthermore our preconditioners have a wider...
