A Hybrid Min-min Max-min Algorithm with Improved Performance

The high cost of supercomputers and the need for large-scale computational resources has led to the development of network of computational resources known as Grid. To better use tremendous capabilities of this large scale distributed system, effective and efficient scheduling algorithms are needed. Many such algorithms have been designed and implemented. We introduce a new scheduling algorithm...

MIN-Graph: A Tool for Monitoring and Visualizing MIN-Based Multiprocessor Performance

A Multistage Interconnection Network (MIN) makes it possible to build large-scale shared-memory multiprocessor systems. To provide insight into dynamic system performance, we have developed an integrated data collection, analysis, and data visualization environment for a MIN-based multiprocessor system, called MIN-Graph. MIN-Graph is a graphical instrumentation monitor to aid users in investiga...

Total Knee Replacement Sizing: Shoe Size Is a Better Predictor for Implant Size than Body Height

Background: Various sizes of implants need to be available during surgery. The purpose of this paper is to comparebody height and shoe size with implant sizes in patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery to see whichbiomarker is a better predictor for preoperative planning to determine implant size.Methods: A total of 100 knees, belonging to 50 females and 50 males, were observed. P...

A smoothing algorithm for finite min-max-min problems

We generalize a smoothing algorithm for finite min–max to finite min– max–min problems. We apply a smoothing technique twice, once to eliminate the inner min operator and once to eliminate the max operator. In mini–max problems, where only the max operator is eliminated, the approximation function is decreasing with respect to the smoothing parameter. Such a property is convenient to establish ...
