This means that even for a very large data col-lection, the maximum likelihood estimation method does not allow Turing’s estimate PT for a probability of a

The area of parallelizing compilers for distributed memory multicomputers has seen considerable research activity during the last few years. Most of the current compilers do not provide any support for estimating performance impacts of code changes that they apply. In this paper, we present P³T

Abstract: This paper concerns quality improvement of modal models estimated by the use of “standard” modal analysis methods. The authors proposed application of the Least Squares Frequency Domain method making use of the Gauss–Newton algorithm to the quality improvement of stabilization diagrams

Device Interface. The layered architecture has allowed research organizations and commercial vendors to port MPICH to a great variety of multiprocessor and multicomputer platforms and distributed environments. CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION 14 1.4 SCALA P 3 T+ calculates at compile time a set of performance parameters which reflect the quality of the chosen parallelization strategy based on the following data obtained by a single profile run of SCALA [31], a post-execution performance analysis tool developed at the Institute of Software Technology and Parallel Systems in Vienna: ffl Statement execution counts (how many times has a statement been executed during runtime of the program?) ffl Loop iteration counts (what is the average number of iterations of a specific loop throughout the execution of the program?) ffl Branching probabilities for conditional statements (how many times was a specific condition evaluated to TRUE throughout the execution of the program?) In following we des...

We use Monte Carlo simulations to measure the spin-spin correlation function in the disordered phase of two-dimensional q-state Potts models with q = 10,15, and 20 at the first-order transition point pt. To extract the correlation length & from the exponential decay of the correlation function

This results in a disorder parameter α = 3 · 10 −6 at 1173 K which means that at the stoichiometric composition 0.0012% of the gallium
