Parallel algorithm designers need computational models that take first order system costs into account, but are also simple enough to use in practice. This paper introduces the L...
We propose a framework for component-based modeling of distributed systems. It provides separation of concerns between computation (in object oriented components), coordination (vi...
Abstract. Protein design software places amino acid side chains by precomputing rotamer-pair energies and optimizing rotamer placement. If the software optimizes by rapid stochasti...
Parallel applications typically run in batch mode, sometimes after long waits in a scheduler queue. In some situations, it would be desirable to interactively add new functionalit...
Ongoing changes in computer performance are affecting the efficiency of string sorting algorithms. The size of main memory in typical computers continues to grow, but memory acce...
