Optimizing hardware

Evolvable hardware distinguishes itself from conventional hardware by its ability to adapt to its environment, and change its structure to perform better on a given task. The principle of adaptation is based on evolution, and has great potential to be used widely in the future, in many areas. This paper discusses the progression in the field of evolvable hardware. It covers the current state of...

Optimizing Omega

Performance measurement that accurately reflects the goals of fund investors and managers has long been a topic of active discussion. Most modern performance measures differ from classical ones (such as the Sharpe ratio) in two key ways; first, they reflect the market practice of assessing performance against a benchmark, second, they account for the asymmetry in returns distributions by separa...

Optimizing Allocations

The classical approach to allocation optimization discussed in the second part of the book assumes that the distribution of the market is known. The samplebased allocation, discussed in the previous chapter, is a two-step process: first the market distribution is estimated and then the estimate is inputted in the classical allocation optimization problem. Since this process leverages the estima...

A method to perform nonmonotonic relational rule computations is presented, called the split technique, The goal is to avoid redundant computations with rules that can insert and delete sets of tuples speciied by the rule body. The method is independent of the control strategy that governs rule ring. Updatable relations are partitioned, as the computation progresses, into blocks of tuples such ...
