Merging race models and adaptive networks: A parallel race network

A Parallel Race Network

This paper presents a generalization of the race models involving parallel channels. Previous versions of this class of models involved only serial channels, either dependent or independent. Further, concrete applications of these models did not involve variability in the accumulator size (Logan, 1988) or were based on a specific distribution (Bundesen, 1990). We show that the distributions of ...

MADS/F-Race: Mesh Adaptive Direct Search Meets F-Race

Finding appropriate parameter settings of parameterized algorithms or AI systems is an ubiquitous task in many practical applications. This task is usually tedious and time-consuming. To reduce human intervention, the study of methods for automated algorithm configuration has received increasing attention in recent years. In this article, we study the mesh adaptive direct search (MADS) method f...

The RACE network architecture

The RACE R parallel computer system provides a high-performance parallel interconnection network at low cost. This paper describes the architecture and implementation of the RACE system, a parallel computer for embedded applications. The topology of the network, which is constructed with 6-port switches, can be specified by the customer, and is typically a fat-tree, a Clos network, or a mesh. T...
