Many (parallel) branch and bound algorithms look very different from each other at first glance. They exploit, however, the same underlying computational model. This phenomenon can be used to define branch and
Abstract We formally introduced a new model of computations theRealRAMand its parallel counterpart theRealPRAM. We study the relationship between these models, classical computational models and two recently proposed parallel machine models, the real machine from Blum, Shub and Smale and the analog neu...
A nondeterministic Turing machine is a (nonrealizable) generalization of the standard deterministic Turing machine of which the transition rules can allow more than one successor configuration, and all these alternatives can be explored in parallel (another way of thinking of this is by means of an...
They comment that the fundamental difference between their naïve and expert viewers has a parallel in studies of how children process art. Children go through stages of being able to appreciate increasingly complex aspects of art, leading to the temptation to label their naïve adult viewers as...
Thus, in practice, various parallel techniques are used, which either rely on ad hoc smoothing with heuristically set parameters, or put strong constraints on the type of models. In this paper, we propose a novel proximal gradientbased approach to optimizing the variational objective. It is ...
The GPU has evolved rapidly from its invention in 1999 as a "VGA Accelerator", becoming a massively parallel general purpose accelerator for heterogeneous computing systems. This talk will focus on significant milestones in GPU architecture and programming models, covering several key concepts that ...

In parallel to clinical testing of a nutritional activator of MCU during exercise and aging3, we hypothesised that MCU may also contribute to the progression of osteoarthritis (OA), the degeneration of cartilage that causes articular pain via mechanical erosion of joints. In osteoarthritic patients,...
Here, we pursued a parallel approach by designing a multi- step decision task that elicits unique trial-by-trial behavioral signatures of each planning strategy, reflecting recursive maximization for MB and on- policy state occupancy averaging for SR. Leveraging these signatures, we can characterize ...
In addition to being able to show the current state of discussion (as discussed above), this includes highlighting conflicting commitments or unresolved moves, finding similarities and conflicts across different discussions going on in parallel among otherwise independent groups of arguers, storing past ...
