Wrappers are mechanisms for introducing new behavior that is executed before and/or after, and perhaps even in lieu of, an existing method. This paper examines several ways to impl...

Abstract. We study the implementation on grid systems of an efficient algorithm for demanding global optimization problems. Specifically, we consider problems arising in the geneti...
We argue that parameterized complexity is a useful tool with which to study global constraints. In particular, we show that many global constraints which are intractable to propag...

In the future, if we are to continue to expect improved application performance we will have to achieve it by exploiting course-grained hardware parallelism rather then simply rel...
