This paper studies the problem of maximizing the number of correct results of dependent tasks computed unreliably. We consider a distributed system composed of a reliable server th...
There are numerous instances where mathematical constants do not admit a closed form. It is then of great interest to compute them, possibly in an efficient way. So the question i...
The computation of soft shadows created by area light sources is a well-known problem in computer graphics. Due to the complexity of the problem, soft shadows commonly are generat...
In structural molecular biology software, the accessibility of an atom in a molecule to a ball representing solvent is either computed slowly by building a solventaccessible surfa...
: For computing square roots of a nonsingular matrix A, which are functions of A, two well known fast and stable algorithms, which are based on the Schur decomposition of A, were p...
