This paper is concerned with the automatic mapping of array computation to processors efficiently. One of the major overheads associated with the mapping of computation is load imbalance. An optimising compiler should find a mapping such that this overhead is minimised. This paper describes formally the mapping of loop iterations to processors so as to minimise load imbalance. The class of perf...

Generalised epileptic seizures are frequently accompanied by sudden reversible transitions from low amplitude irregular background activity to high amplitude, regular spike-wave discharges (SWD) in the EEG. The underlying mechanisms responsible for SWD generation and for the apparently spontaneous transitions to SWD and back again are still not fully understood. Specifically, the role of spatia...

The measurement and management of performance in the public services has become increasingly prominent in the past twenty years, and progressively more so under the New Labour Government. In July 2000, the government devised a ten-year plan for the National Health Service (NHS) to radically reform and improve the performance and cost efficiency of the service. Concerns about high levels of publ...

Recently Binary Decision Diagrams (BDD) have been proposed as an efficient representation of boolean functions [1]. Although most practical functions have a compact BDD, some useful ones do not. A prime example of these is the integer multiplier function, which was proved to have at least exponential complexity [2], and much worse in practice. We propose a modification of BDDs using the exclusi...
