Solving scheduling problems using parallel message-passing based constraint programming
We discuss some of the engineering challenges in implementing a constraint programming based scheduling engine to scale well on massively parallel computer hardware. In particular, we have been targeting our solvers to work in high performance computer environments such as the IBM BlueGene/P supercomputer. On such hardware parallelism is enabled at the software level using message passing, base...

متن کاملMolecular and Bioinformatics Analysis of Allelic Diversity in IGFBP2 Gene Promoter in Indigenous Makuee and Lori-Bakhtiari Sheep Breeds
The aim of this study was to perform molecular and bioinformatics analysis of IGFBP2 gene promoter in association with some economic traits in indigenous Makuee (MS) and Lori-Bakhtiari (LB) breeds. DNA was extracted from blood samples of 120 MS and 200 LB and a 297 bp fragment from the upstream sequences of studied gene was amplified and genotyped by single-strand conformational polymo...
