The United States has 40% of the area; Brazil, 23%; Argentina, 13%; India, 6%; and Canada, 6%. Although GM cultivars of 11 crops have been released, 4 crops cover 99% o...

Exploiting Under-Utilized Cores with Deferred Methods

Effective parallelization of fine-grained tasks, such as in dynamic program analysis, is challenging because thread communication overheads may outweigh the benefits of parallelism.

The fra...

The continue...
