To address the issue of reliability evaluation in dynamic grid environment, a workload-aware
reliability evaluation model is proposed, in which queuing system is applied to describe the …

We present a set of language extensions that improve the expressiveness and performance
of Java for scientific computation. The language extensions allow the manipulation of multi …

This paper argues that computational grids can be used for far more types of applications
than just trivially parallel ones. Algorithmic optimizations like latency-hiding and exploiting …

Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a dimensionality reduction technique that can
boost efficiency of machine learning models that deal with probability density functions, eg …

One of the most fundamental problems automatic parallelization tools are confronted with is
to find an optimal domain decomposition for a given application. For regular domain …

The analog world of the past era has evolved into a digital one. With the digital revolution
came the opportunity to create, store, duplicate, and transmit an unprecedented amount of …

Hybrid architectures are systems where a high performance general purpose computer is
coupled to one or more special purpose devices (SPDs). Such a system can be the optimal …

The Parallel-Horus framework, developed at the University of Amsterdam, is a unique
software architecture that allows non-expert parallel programmers to develop fully …

Thee graphic on the cover symbolically represents many of the aspects of the software
architecturee for user transparent parallel image processing described in this thesis. Thee …

An important problem in transportation is how to ensure efficient operational route planning
when several vehicles share a common road infrastructure with limited capacity. Examples …
