Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
—During any composite computation, there is a constant need for rounding intermediate results before they can participate in further processing. Recently, a class of number repre...

The ever increasing gap between processor and memory speed, sometimes referred to as the Memory Wall problem [42], has a very negative impact on performance. This mismatch will be...
Many important problems involve clustering large datasets. Although naive implementations of clustering are computationally expensive, there are established efficient techniques f...
In this paper the Northrhine-Westphalian metacomputing initiative is described. We start by discussing various general aspects of metacomputing and explain the reasons for founding...
