Scaling - Up or Out

Insatiable demands for performance and the availability of inexpensive microprocessors have led to the development of multiprocessor-based systems. Passionate debates amongst architects, designers, and vendors continue to rage regarding cost effective multiprocessor design alternatives. Hypes and claims of performance and scalability are confusing and often misleading. Increasing performance an...

Spatial Dimension of Scaling Up and Out

Scale is a concept used to manage information about the real world and to summarize observations about complex phenomena that vary within space, time, or other dimensions. The ordering of phenomena according to scale enables human beings to store, recall, and analyze information about features that would otherwise be impossible to evaluate. The concept is essential to researchers of agricultura...

Scaling Up

Most analytical and experimental results on evolutionary programming (EP) are obtained using low-dimensional problems, e.g., smaller than 50. It is unclear, however, whether the empirical results obtained from the low-dimensional problems still hold for high-dimensional cases. This paper investigates the behaviour of four diierent EP algorithms for large-scale problems, i.e., problems whose dim...
