We evaluate the architectural support of collective communication operations on the IBM SP2, Cray T3D, and Intel Paragon. The MPI performance data are obtained from the STAP benchmark experiments jointly performed at the USC and HKU. The T3D demonstrated clearly the best timing performance in...

Image Mosaicing is an image processing technique that arises from the need of having a more realistic view of the real world wider than the view captured by the lenses of the available cameras. In this paper, a sequence of images will be mosaiced using binary edge detection algorithm in a...

In this paper, a novel message-passing algorithm, named AMP-R, based on belief propagation is proposed to solve the heterogeneous multi-depot vehicle routing problem (HMDVRP) in a distributed manner. Unlike traditional approaches, this is the first attempt to decentralize the solution process...

We show that the value of a zero-sum Bayesian game is a Lipschitz continuous function of the players' common prior belief, with respect to the total variation metric (that induces the topology of setwise convergence on beliefs). This is unlike the case of general Bayesian games, where lower...
