Economic Lot-Size Using Machine Learning, Parallelism, Metaheuristic and Simulation

Optimization of economic lot scheduling problem with backordering and shelf-life considerations using calibrated metaheuristic algorithms

language learning strategies and vocabulary size of iranian efl learners

learning a second or foreign language requires the manipulation of four main skills, namely, listening, reading, speaking, and writing which lead to effective communication. it is obvious that vocabulary is an indispensible part of any communication, so without a vocabulary, no meaningful communication can take place and meaningful communication relies heavily on vocabulary. one fundamental fac...

Customising parallelism and caching for machine learning

Inductive logic programming is an attractive and expressive paradigm for machine learning. A drawback of inductive logic programs is their demanding computational requirements. We present an FPGA-based multi-processor architecture aimed at fast execution of such programs. The architecture exploits both coarse-grained parallelism at the query level, and fine-grained parallelism in the unificatio...

Adaptive parallelism mapping in dynamic environments using machine learning

Modern day hardware platforms are parallel and diverse, ranging from mobiles to data centers. Mainstream parallel applications execute in the same system competing for resources. This resource contention may lead to drastic degradation in a program’s performance. In addition, the execution environment composed of workloads and hardware resources, is dynamic and unpredictable. Efficient matching...

Adaptively Mapping Parallelism Based on System Workload Using Machine Learning

Parallel Computing has become pervasive and the number of processors placed in computers will further increase in the future. However, software developers are struggling to efficiently exploit the computational resources provided by parallel architectures. It is thus inevitable to investigate the behaviour of parallel programs and develop methods that help improving their performance. The softw...
