This paper provides a survey of recent progress and software for solving mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLP) wherein the objective and constraints are defined by convex functions and integrality restrictions are ...

Data center traffic characteristics are not well understood. In particular, it is not clear how the prevalent traffic patterns may impact candidate mechanisms for managing traffic inside the data centers. In this ...

Computing the 1-width of the incidence matrix of a Steiner Triple System gives rise to small set covering instances that provide a computational challenge for integer programming techniques. One major source of difficulty ...

We present novel samplers and algorithms for Monte Carlo rendering. The adaptive image-plane sampler selects pixels for refinement according to a perceptually-weighted variance criteria. The hemispheric integrals sampler ...

Disseminating traffic related information to vehicular users is increasingly becoming a necessity nowadays in the context of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). However, till date there does not exist an efficient ...

Writing correct shared-memory concurrent programs is hard. Not only must a programmer reason about the correctness of the sequential execution of code, but also about the possible side effects caused by interleaved ...

Future multicore processors will become more susceptible to a variety of hardware failures. In particular, intermittent faults, caused in part by manufacturing process variation or in-progress wear-out, can cause bursts ...
